i've seen that picture before somewhere. sometimes when you get a picture taken and it's the right angle, and especially here his biceps are being pushed outwards, of course it looks real big. this i believe was taken during the asian championships last year. so yao's muscles were no bigger or smaller than that during last season.
An old picture from a year ago in the Asian Tourney. Yao jumped on Bateer's back after China beat Korean in the final.
Does anyone else find it a little creepy that pictures of Yao are being posted strictly for the purpose of displaying his body parts?
