YAO MING

YAO MING, YAO MING YAO MING YAO MING, YAO MING, YAO MING.
I'm very short, 5'1 to be exact. Yao Ming is very tall, 7'6 to be precise. So there's no way I'm going to miss him walking around Best Buy on a Wednesday afternoon.
He wasn't too excited about everyone taking pictures of him, so I snuck this one. Also unfortunately, he didn't want to take pictures with anyone, so I wasn't able to get a picture standing next to him. Though if I did, I would have only reached to his elbow, if I was lucky. I've seen him before up close, but that was only on the basketball court when I sat in the floor seats. But considering there were so many other giants around him, well I still felt short, but the tall guys looked short too!
My favorite part about this picture is just the fact that he's playing a video game. Just imagine how small the controller would be in his monstrous hands! And it was pretty funny how whatever isle he walked down, you could see everything from his shoulders up right over the top of each shelf!
While walking out, I saw him get into his car which was just a normal SUV, but his wife was driving because he was sitting in the front seat with his feet on the floor and his knees reaching up to the window! He's such a giant.

THIS JUST IN::: this picture was just shown on Houston's channel 2 news with photo credit to me :) thank you Dominique Sachse
