EVER WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO STAND NEXT TO YAO MING?


This was as close to Yao Ming as I could get. We were both pretty disappointed that Yao broke his foot and is out for the season, so we didn't get to see him play.
I spent the whole game wondering where Yao was, I wanted to see him so bad. I thought that even though he was hurt, SURELY he would at least come and root the team on. But he was no where to be seen. I wasted half the game looking for him. I was really hoping I would get to see him. He is a pretty popular guy around here.


This is a life size Yao Ming and his arm span. So you are supposed to go and move the red bars to where YOUR arm span is and compare it to Yao's. Can you believe how tall this guy is? For an asian guy he's like a giant! It is my goal to see him in real life while I'm living here in Houston. Look at how small I am next to him.

Yao Ming actually got a short armspan for his height. He's at least 7,5" without shoes on 7,6" 1/2 yet his wingspan is only 7,4 3/4? There are basketball players out there who are shorter than Yao who have longer wingspans. I have a friend on facebook by the name of Shagari Alleyne. He's only 7,2" but his wingspan is 8,1" (8 inches longer than Yao's). In conclusion, while Yao's wingspan may seem tremendous compared to most average-sized people that's only because he's so damn tall; relative to hi height, his wingspan is actually pretty short or impressive.
