    Do you think Yao is tall in the third picture?
    but he looks strong definitely!

    Compare Yao's arms to Kelvin's in that picture above...they're almost exactly the same size. That's a solid improvement in one of his biggest weaknesses, IMO.

    LMFAO!!! I love it. love it love it love it. We haven't played one pre-season game and Gundy looks like he's been to the gates of hell. Seriously. This looks like a man unhinged.

    Have you ever seen a man more haunted, more driven, more single-minded?

    This is going to be a fun year.

    When you see Yao and Cato side by side, you can really see how much stronger Yao has gotten in one year. His arm looks about the same size, if not more, than Cato's. Last year his arms were sticks, but he now he looks like he will be the one pushing people around this year.

    Yao's does look stronger. But also notice the length of Yao's arm as compared to the length of Cato's arm. They look to be about the same length despite Yao being 6 inches taller (Actually, Yao's might even be slightly shorter). So is Yao's body weirdly proportioned with really short arms, or is Cato just a freak of nature with really long limbs?

    I take back what I said about the uniforms. They look alot better on Ming than I originally thought. They look better on tv also than in photo shoots because the photos put a spotlight real close to the material. Also,Ming does have a little bit shorter arms than he supposed to. Probably about 2 inches shorter to being proportionate.

    In that second picture with Yao, the one with him sitting down doing interviews. Why is Mark Cuban giving Yao an interview?

    Well, first Cato has long arms. And secondly, yao has short arms for his size.

    that picture of JVG is going to be my motivation for my jack-o-lantern this year. im more worried about his stamina than yao's right now.
