Photo Of Yao Ming Making Shaq Look Short Really Puts Yao Ming's Height In Perspective

Shaquille O'Neal is 7'1" and perhaps the most physically imposing player the NBA has ever seen.

Yao Ming, at 7'6", dwarfs him in a photo posted to Shaq's Instagram.

Yao wasn't just tall, he was historically, exceptionally tall even by NBA standards.

We have more thoughts on this below (via r/NBA):

Our initial theory was that Yao gained weight, resulting in a size disparity that made him appear taller than Shaq than he used to be.

But then we went back and looked at some pictures, and it's clear that Yao made Shaq look small on the court too.

As a reference point, look at Shaq next to normal person Chris Christie. Yao Ming is enormous:

He is mongolia ethnicity in native. Is this true ?

Can he drive a car?

You confused Yao Ming with Batar, the latter is another tall Chinese basketball player, he is ethnic Mongol.

 

[Green Arrow]

He looks different in pic

 

[beijingwalker]

Many ethnic minority basketball players play in the Chinese national teams

Wasn't Shaq suspected to about 400 pounds?

WFT? This article is really dumb.

Everyone knows Yao Ming is really tall during his NBA days, taller than most of the other american players. Everyone could easily see this back in the days.

This Tony Manfred moron act surprised to see how tall YM is in this recent photo. Then he ask why is he so tall now compared to his pro days? then he answered himself, well YM has always been tall.

WTF, what article is he gonna write next? that the sky is blue and the grass are green?


Younger days:

 

[Kolaps]

YAOzilla from Shanghai!

Not only just big and tall, but super AGILE too!

Unlike other NBA players in US.

Thanks to the East Asian superior genit...
(well, it's not as bothersome as non-East-Asian)


But, although Kolaps is East Asian too, Kolaps never know what it feel to have that superior thing, because Kolaps is exception and have quite bothersome life too because of that.
(you hear that girls!)

 

[Tractor]

We oriental have big face and forget about our eyes.

 

[indiatester]

That is really tall!
I remember seeing size 21 Nike shoes and wondered who would ever buy them.

Yeah. The NBA always listed Shaq as 325-340 but he was definitely pushing 400 in the last 5-6 years of his career.

BITCH PLEASE.

Shaq next to normal person Chris Christie

Just saw the pic, if Chris Christie is really 5'11 and he looks that short next to Shaq, Yao Ming probably feels like a king with his height, haha, its a pity that he will probably have to go through knee problems when he is over 40, tall people have that issue
