It’s Yao Ming’s birthday, which gives us the opportunity to appreciate all the incredible times he’s stood next to people and made them look tiny.
Let’s celebrate Yao Ming’s birthday by remembering how tiny he makes people look
So many memories.


James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Peyton Manning looked a little nervous:
LeBron looked up to him:
John Daly became a teenage version of himself:
Wearing a giant suit didn’t help Muggsy Bogues look taller:
Gary Player looked like an amoeba:
Sitting with Jay Williams was like having a kid’s tea party:
This elephant has nothing on Yao:
TINY KOBE! TINY SHAQ! TINY BUNNY! TINY CROWD!
Happy birthday, Yao. Hope you celebrate with a big cake, which will look like a tiny cake because you’re Yao.
