Unexpected ‘big 3’ sitting together on the sidelines
Beckham is like 6’0
Hilarious because he looks like he’s 5 foot at best. And I guess I would just look like a thumb next to him.
Compare the size of their heads. Beckham’s like a 3 year old.
Beckham is tall for soccer players, too.
Not significantly tall at all
6’0 is the average height in premier league btw, so no
Counter point: Messi is shorter and he is the only player op could name.
Checkmate
Wrong
Now I wwanna see Petr Crouch next to Yao
Why do people just make incorrect statements. We have Google, a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, but no just blatant misinformation. Are they genuinely stupid or what? Just confusing.
jesus yao is friggin giant :D
I caught Yao his rookie year and we had guys that tall; Shawn Bradley was still playing even I’m pretty sure, so we had seen guys taller than Yao, but what blew me away was how huge his legs were. Dude had the biggest calves I’ve ever seen. We’re used to the Wemby/Bradley build of super tall and lanky, but Yao was a proper 300+lb giant with a soft touch to go with it. We’ll never see another like him.
I caught him in Sacramento and I don’t remember if it was Vlade Divac or Brad Miller that season, but regardless, dude looked like a small forward next to Yao.
Edey is built like him currently, but not quite as big, but similarly not skinny and just a sized up normal human proportions
I really like Edey, and I hope he keeps going and developing. He shows some really promising talent even in transition (check his sprint the other day). But man, he would have been awesome 20-25 years ago.
Embiid was pretty massive. Unfortunately guys with these builds can’t stay healthy unless they’re Shaq.
Same with Donovan Clingan in the same class, two oldschool giants going head-to-head, loved their battles in college, and just hoping to continue to see them square up in the league.
Wouldn’t arvydas sabonis have a similar-ish build?
Asians have huge calves
Asian squat does that
Filipino checking in to spread the good word. We do indeed have big calves! The people deserve to know.
As a boxing fans who watched a lot of Pacquiao, i was already very aware of that.
Either blessed with huge or none.
short legs relative to height is what ive noticed. especially in the ufc
THATS MY NATIONS PRIDE 🇵🇭
Saw Shaq when he played for the Magic in ‘94 or ‘95 (I would have been 8 or 9) and the thing I still remember is how big his legs were. Like he was standing on tree trunks.
It’s all perspective like the LOTR movies. Those guys are really 4 feet tall
Nobody in LOTR was 4 feet tall 😭😭
they did have short actors to replace the hobbit actors for some shots
I subscribe to the theory that Yao is really 8 ft tall but they listed him as 7 6 so as not to break people’s brains
This and this makes me think there’s something to that theory
Its like gandalf and the hobbits
Shaq is 7’ 1” and Yao definitely has more than 5 inches on him in that pic.
Easy math is basically: One noggin = one foot
If he isn’t 8’, he’s 7’10”.
Luka looks 12 in that picture and somehow it was taken in the 90s judging by the quality.
I wonder how much he weighs these days
You typically only see NBA players next to other NBA players, so it sort of hides that “Short” guys like Steph Curry are still taller than like 90% of adult men.
Except Yao is big af next to nba players
who would have thought one of the biggest basketball players ever would be so big!
legit one of the biggest humans ever lol
F to the view of the person sitting behind him.
In awe at the size of this lad
Yao has to have the biggest noggin ive ever seen. Absolute unit of a cranium
It’s like an orange on a toothpick. It’s a virtual planetoid. Has its own weather system!
HEED! PAPER - NOW!
I’m not kidding, that boy’s head is like sputnik; spherical, but quite pointy in parts
OOoh that was tough. He’s going to cry himself to sleep on his huge pillow.
Heeeed! Pants! Now!
Oh I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes!
And his smug grin! “Oooh, yer gonna buy my chicken”
And light a match!
Us Asians have huge heads…..our women have tiny pelvis. Its like evolution is trying to kill us.
But yeah big heads and thick calves and legs.
Yet you’re the most abundant people on Earth, go figure.
Also forgot to add unbelievably stubborn. Like fuck you evolution!
Username…checks out?
Sometimes the tear can extend all the way to the anus, yes. It does not extend the other way because the pubic symphysis is there.
And also shattered anuses?
wtf?
e: I take it back, just a username joke 😭
Username
Ya look at every Asian bodybuilder, they have huge legs
Also small penises, from what the girls say.
Downvotes don’t change the facts, either.
I’m not Asian and I have a tiny penis.
u/mojoback_ohbehave isn’t Asian but has a small penis so *shrug *
[deleted]
I think his got wider as he aged.
For sure, part of it is fat, but even accounting for weight gain it looks massive. His head looked relatively proportioned as a player, it almost looks cartoonish currently.
Snipers dream, they used to call him
Cheeseman! ;)
Meats and cheeses, always pleases
Movie theatre nightmare.
I know it’s partially perspective but his head looks almost as big as David Beckham’s torso
Snipers dream
Shaft like an oak tree
He has a big dick.
That has to be at least a 10 3⁄8 at Lids
“A snipers dream they used to call him” - Bob Mortimer
Edey is up there
[removed]
damn, thatd suck to get the seat behind Yao lol
I saw Aziz Ansari live at Carnegie Hall a decade or so ago and got stuck sitting behind Tyson Chandler, so I can relate.
There should be a law. If you were in the league, you get a booth.
Can relate. Sat behind Bill Walton at a Rolling Stones concert.
You sure it wasn’t a Grateful Dead concert? I bet he smelled like phenomenal weed.
Funny you say that. He was wearing tie dye.
Did he at least pass you a joint?
Concert was at Dodger Stadium. I’ve been to the drunk tank there. Was not interested in going back.
He did you a favor not having to see that little twerp
Did he steal your girl?
Why is he a twerp?
Who’s on the left?
Patrick Dumont. Governor of the Mavs per google
Calling team owners governors is an underrated stupid move by silver
At any given time, most people with a team ownership stake are not recognized as governors.
Well Dumont is not the owner, so…
He’s married into the family that owns it and they named him Governor. He is not the owner.
because the main owners are not necessarily the decision makers
this isn’t a silver thing, this has been the terminology for many years. also the commissioner does not unilaterally decide terminology.
Silver’s commissioner’s office officially stopped using the term due to racist connotations.
“It should be noted the entire NBA hasn’t walked away from the term, simply the commissioner’s office and any team uneasy over using the word “owner” when the majority of the league’s players are black and the vast majority of team owners are white.”
https://sports.yahoo.com/adam-silver-nba-owner-governor-034447369.html
Team owners aren’t called governors.
Team owners can be governors. Right now the governor for the Clippers is a random attorney.
Most teams have multiple owners, but you can only have one governor (and you can have alternate governors).
Here’s a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBA_team_owners
NHL works the same way. General Managers can often be listed as Alternate Governors as well.
the Adelsons+Dumonts are the majority owners Patrick Dumont is the Governor appointed by the ownership group. A majority owner is not necessarily a governor for example Mark Walter was not governor before he sold that was Jeanie Buss.
are the stadiums fiefdoms as well? just casually normalizing monarchies again.
Luckily the owners call themselves owners when not in public
Not every team has a solitary owner, and the governor is kind of like the CEO of a team
Don’t worry someone will get offended by governor at some point and we’ll go back to owner.
I feel like it makes sense since every team has like 10 owners. Mark Cuban is still an owner of the Mavs, but he doesn’t represent the team and make controlling decisions like Dumont does.
Ignorant comment lol
You’re on Reddit that’s full of sad kids
It fits the narrative of we hating the rich so it gets automatically gets upvoted
Dumont Yao and Beckham
Dude needs to buy a tie that’s about 4” longer lol
Is he a Nepo baby? idk how to explain it but he doesn’t really give the look of a billionaire that has developed their own business or anything. Giving more James Dolan and Jeanie Buss vibes.
Looks like the Harry Potter guy who turns into a rat
Peter pettigrew lmao yes
he is a rat
this is his rat form
Married into casino empire after “working his way up”
Added quotation marks for nepo baby
“Working his way up” is a bit generous. He was born on third base - started out at Saint Anne’s School, where “Annual tuition as of 2022 is between \(48,000 and \)52,000” (via Wikipedia) and checked all the appropriate blue blood boxes from then on.
His mother in Law is Super Villian Miriam Adelson. She owns the team and he runs it.
Jeanie Buss is a genius compared to him. Dude traded Luka Doncic.
Yes, of course he is. They’re almost always nepo babies.
The moron that OKd lluka trade
Ya really feels like he scap goated niko on that trade. He definitely approved the trade as well and should share in the blame
Yes that is exactly what i said. Not that he orchestrated the trade but that he OKd, which is exactly the same like you said: approved
Dallas Texas’ 2025 Man of the Year
The man who wanted his team to win “the championship games.”
They were pretty close tho. Almost made the playoffs.
*Decade
Dallas’ most hated man after Nico Harrison. The man who approved Luka’s trade and shit on Luka in the media by saying that Luka doesn’t have what it takes to be a Dallas Maverick because he doesn’t have great work ethic like Shaq of all people. He’s a nepo baby who doesn’t actually know ball.
You don’t know?!? He’s part of a big 3, clearly as famous as Beckham and Yao!!!!
(I didn’t know either)
The person that made me no longer a Mavs fan.
That man must have so much charm look how little words he said but how enchanted the other 2 are at every word
The dipshit who calls the NBA Finals “the championship games.”
Rowley Jefferson
I see a “big 2” the other guy is just rich lol
Us Lakers fans would like to send our gratitude!
Wonder how much Yao needs to eat for him to actually visible put on some weight
Booze probably helps. I remember reading an article about how one offseason his trainer came to meet him and saw like 30 empty beer cans in his hotel room.
On that Andre the Giant diet
One of my favorite quotes is from when Yao retired at 30 and people felt bad for him. His response: “I haven’t died. Right now I’m drinking a beer and eating fried chicken.”
I mean trying to get drunk off beer at that size…
And when you consider that Andre the Giant was infamous for being able to put down 100+ beers in one sitting, Yao’s a relative lightweight
Can confirm, beer does help you gain weight.
Sounds like a Chinese guy yep
Yao pass the mike n ikes
He’s did the bitch please meme face!
Yao be like: Motherfck the big three, it’s just big me!
He counts as 3
Dude on the left looks like he gets dressed by his mother still.
He looks like he masterbates in public
Master what?
bates
Masterbaits to Kathy Bates
Isn’t he known to have a weird relationship with his mother ?
Guy on left with horrible breath is a gooner and a gaper, also has tatoo inside rectum wall that says “Made by Adelsons”. Then Yao. Then a tattooed Twinkie who gave aforementioned rectum tatoo to the “man” on left… ahhh The Big 3. Yumma, Yumma, Yumma.
Looks like he’s in the files.
“So he asked me if we could trade him, I said who is that??”
“You didn’t know who he was?”
“No. They just told me he was fat”
Dumont “Re-remember that time you blocked Shaq?”
Yao “Yeah.”
Dumont “Tha–that was awesome!”
Thank you
why does Yao, the largest of this big three, not simply eat the other two?
how does he fit in that seat? is it 2 seats?
Yes
Sir David the Smol
Yao has been eating well.
Yoa has to have the best stretching routine of all time, or he’s in immense amounts of pain all the time
Love me some yao
The guy on the left traded Luka….
I have no idea who the guy on the left is.
The guy who ultimately sent Luka to LA.
Chris Farley’s illegitimate son
“Yeah man I used to watch all your games. Never missed a single one” -Dumont to Yao
Yao Ming, David Beckham and Rick Moranis. There goes my childhood 😭
Seeing Yao made me so happy. I’m not even a rockets fan or anything
Beckham continuing his world tour of doing absolutely anything for money
who are the other two with Beckham?
/r/AbsoluteUnits
I see Beckham and Yao sitting with the dweeb ruining the mavs.. what’s the catch
Offensively British
Who came up with this thread title? I had to scroll down the entire thread to find out who the third person of the unexpected “Big 3” was.
This is a Big 2 with an owner nobody is supposed to know by sight
Fuck that fat nepo baby
Chow Ming
I want to believe David Beckham showed up just for this game in China. But I know I’m wrong.
Yao’s neck is bigger then Beckham !
Yao ming ain’t missing no chow mein.
Yao is an absolute legend
holy shit I hate this fucking guys FACE
Cruel and unusual punishment. Get my man a bigger chair!
5 straight champs
This is bizarre lol
Jesus. How much do you thinkl Yao eats in a day?
this is so funny
Current Yao looks like he ate NBA Yao
I believe that is Stephen Fung behind Beckham??
Yao is truly remarkable. He is dwarfing those men. Wow
i thought yao was standing up at first lmao
Who are they besides Yao?
Your don’t know Beckham? And the one on left is the moron that OKd Luka doncic trade
Patrick Dumont, unfortunately.
I don’t recognize David Beckham and I watch Tell the Truth about once a month.
From the perspective, Yao’s torso alone looks bigger than Beckham entirely.
I know Yao obviously, but if this isn’t supposed to be a joke I’m missing and those other 2 actually are famous from something, I’ve never seen them in my life lol
David Beckham on the right. Not sure who the third guy is.
You’re getting downvoted but I don’t watch soccer and would have never recognized him in a jean jacket
David Beckham…? Be for real
He owns some soccer teams I guess? Who cares lol why would I not be for real for not knowing that
i see yao ming. who the other ones?
EDIT:
Ok, seems to be a guy called Bekham. I believe he’s from a movie called “Bend It Like Bekham” where I guess he turns his body back or something. I remember seeing the poster and he seems to be bending his top half backwards to look back. Strange name for a movie
And someone mentioned the other guy is Front office guy for the Mavs
