There's no way to really sugarcoat this one. Yao Ming is over seven feet tall and just got stuffed by five-nine Nate Robinson. After the game, Tracy McGrady entered Yao's dim holding cell, handed him a cyanide pill, and left the room without a word.

Yao: “he’s how tall?….thats fucking bullshit!!”
it’s not a big deal. i’m 5’9″ and i can also block yao if he doesn’t jump, like in this video. well ok, he did jump but only a little. and nate came flying from his blind side. and poked yao’s eye.
