HAHA thats good too. The main thing i notice in this pic are his arms, they have got wayyy bigger than before!
Whats the deal with this picture anyways, is Francis sitting down or something?? Francis is 6'3" and that's not short by any stretch of the imagination and with him next to Yao in this picture, it makes Yao look like he's 9 feet tall.
You guys aren't very imaginative. Surely someone can come up Yao Ming with Pai Mei's beard and eyebrows snatching Shaq's eyeball out or something.
Yao's chinese; come on dude.....In 6mths he'll be lucky if he has a a thick mustache....And China is gonna ROCK the OLY....
the interesting thing about your observation is that picture was taken in the SLAM magazine cover shoot his rookie season.
