It's not just to stay behind the line. He's pigeon-toed and it's part of his form. It's pretty extreme but a lot of players do it. Brandon Roy, Peja Stojakovic and Michael Redd are just a few examples.
I think he'll get alot of offers for advertisement and commercials from Chinese companies in the future.
Where should he have put it, on his ass? That's about the most normal thing he could do when posing for a picture. The real question is where is his right hand? :grin:
For those who would be interested: the following are some new pics about Brooks' attending an event about selecting cheerleaders in Beijing (Again courtesy to hoopchina):
