These photos of Yao Ming and Gary Player on a golf course are positively mesmerizing
Yao Ming is a large man. We know that. We've always known that. And yet, anytime we see photos of the 7-foot-6, 300-plus-pound retired NBA star with averaged-sized people, we freak out. Because, well, just look at this photo!

Both, um, giants of their respective sports were on hand at the 2016 Mission Hills World Celebrity Golf Tournament over the weekend. Of course, Player wasn't the only person Yao made to look small.

Yao's still a long way from qualifying for the senior tour, but it looks like he's improved a lot. Check out this video of him on the course from four years ago:
Keep it up, Yao.
