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.

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...

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.

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...

How chubby did Yao Ming get? And why isn't he happy? He is jealous this Jeremy Lin kid who grew up in America is stealing his thunder as the Chinese Basketball player? Dikembe Mutumbo is always happy. No matter where he is.

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...

How did Houston Texans defensive star JJ Watt get so good at football when he’s so small, he must be like 4′ 9” next to Yao Ming. This is always referred to as the Yao Ming effect. He can make anyone feel like a little person.-TO
