Yao Ming Makes J.J. Watt Look Dwarfian When Two Pass-Swatters Hang Out (Photo)

Found February 13, 2013 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Yao Ming
TEAMS: Houston Rockets

What’s bigger than a 6-foot-5, 295-pound defensive end? A 7-foot-6, 311-pound former NBA center, of course. Houston defensive star J.J. Watt was doing some sports cross-pollination on Tuesday, and his foil was none other than former Houston Rockets star Yao Ming. Watt suggested that Yao could help with what is considered Watt’s specialty: swatting passes at the line of scrimmage. But most people looking at the photo are probably not thinking about shot blocking — they’re likely wondering how Watt became a dwarf overnight. Check it out in the photo below. Great lunch with @YaoMing today. Have a feeling he could knock down a pass or two... http://t.co/1j48zpTk— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) February 12, 2013

Yao Ming is slightly taller than J.J. Watt

Via Next Impulse Sports  |  February 12, 2013
J.J. Watt is by no means a small man. In fact he is a very large fella and clocks in at a solid 6′ 5″, 295 lbs. However, perceptual contrast is everything especially when you take a photograph of him standing next to 7′ 6″ Yao Ming. This is a great photo but it doesn’t compare to Yao’s time in Africa or him playing golf. Great lunch with @yaoming today. Have a feeling...

Yao Ming increasing activity for animal rights

via NYTimes. Yao Ming paid a visit to the Houston Zoo yesterday and shared his position on animal rights with many students. “You have little pets in your house — dogs, cats, all kinds,” Yao said. “Just imagine your relationship with your pets. That’s the same thing, the same kind of thing, that the African people have with those big animals. They’re living in the...

JJ Watt Is To Yao Ming As I Am To JJ Watt

His head is twice the size of mine Juan… JJ Watt had one of the best seasons by a defender, possibly ever.  He easily won DPOY and rightfully so.  He’s only going to get better and that’s scary for offenses around the NFL. JJ Watt With Bieber JJ Watt Crashes A Bachelorette Party

Yao Mings Top 10 Plays, Ever

This video was made as a tribute to Mr. James Bucklin, whose valentine will always be Yao Ming.  Many people don't understand what Yao is or what he could have been had injuries stayed far away.  We miss the big fella and only hope he is doing well.  This is a bitter sweet video. PS. no one made this video for James, that was a joke.

Crazy stuff, height. You know, how it is all relative and stuff. Former Rockets center (and very tall man) Yao Ming met another tall Houston athlete on Tuesday: Texans linebacker J.J. Watt. Apparently, the two tall men, although one is taller than the other tallish guy, enjoyed a lunch together. Ming is in Houston this week to attend NBA All-Star Game festivities. Watt was probably...

Texans DE JJ Watt is a 6-foot-5, 295-pound beast of a man, but put him next to retired NBA star Yao Ming and his impressive 7-foot-6, 310-pound frame, and Watt goes from imposing hulk to, well, a normal sized human being. According to Watt’s Twitter account the two had lunch together, but the 2012 NFL Defensive Player of the Year failed to mention whether the pair broke out in...

JJ Watt is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Houston Texans defensive end is 6-foot-5, 298 pounds, and a monster on the field. One of Watt’s specialties is his ability to bat passes. He was credited with 16 passes defended last season, which is an absurd amount for a defensive lineman. But as big and awesome as Watt is on the gridiron, he looks like a dwarf standing...
