    It's an optical illusion. He's really on his tip toes in the photo.

    Yeah, he's actually being "levitated" by David Blaine.

    I prefer him not to do that often.

    A lot of people criticize Yao that he doesn't jump. But the fact that he doesn't always jump means his knees will last longer.

    I think this is photoshopped. Not that he can't jump that high, but if he did, his head would be through the hoop. He only has to clear about 4 inches off the floor to dunk.

    Yep. And check the shadows of Dampier's feet and Yao's.
