How tall is Yao Ming? Just see this picture

After all, how tall is Yao Ming? Objectively, he is 2.29 meters tall. What can make this even more noticeable, however, is to place the gigantic former NBA player - one of the tallest in league history - side by side with a normal-height guy.

The result could not be otherwise, of course, and one gets the impression that there is a particularly squat pygmy in the picture. The image above was recorded during a friendly match of All-Star Game.

Yao Ming served for several years on the US basketball team Houston Rockets. Between 2003 and 2007, Ming also participated in all editions of the All-Star Game. The juniorate came in June 2011, due to several injuries in a row.

And of course the player also gave rise to that infamous meme (above). Yeah, fame doesn't always come from where you expect it.
