He always plays tricks with the Chinese reporters. Smart guy. http://sports.sina.com.cn/z/2002-2003NBA/photo/16993/index.shtml D*mn, he looks gaining a lot of weight.
Man is that site sloooooooooooooooooooooooow. Yao looks like he might be searching for a bowling ball.
He's gained a lot of weight, but it looks more like the weight attained via too-much-Counter Strike-and-Chinese-takeout-to-stay-out-of-the-hotass-Houston-sun behavior of the last couple months. Look how pale he is, too. Oh well, I'm sure he loved every second of it. Isn't that crazy? One of the world's most recognizable faces and he's doing the same sh*t I am.
I think its just the shirt. It seems like it fans out on him a little. Probably hard for hi to find clothes that fit.
I'm pretty sure it's just the shirt... but from this shot, he does seem to be giving 'ole Man Boobs Amechi a run for his money...
well... I assuming getting a little fat would be expected from recovering from an ankle operation? -- he wouldn't be able to do much exercise lately, right?
My concern is that the completeness of his personal training in this summer is ruined by the operation. Now he came back to China,.............
LOL. I had to do a double take on that one. Nice Shop. Anyway, I'm sure that Yao has gained a little weight while recuperating from ankle surgery. But that shirt certainly makes it seem like more than it probably is. Here's some other pics to prove it: The angles aren't great, but you can at least see that he's not THAT fat right now.
