Rubbing Elbows...errr...or Waists?

So I happened to be at the Toyota Center today. I was standing with a handful of people in the administrative entrance, waiting for some other people to join us. As we were chatting, one of the girls in the group quietly says, "oh there's Yao." Sure enough, not ten feet away from me Yao Ming was walking through the lobby. He saw us all looking at him and he waved...right before he ducked his head to walk out the door. He was taller than the elevators. He was too tall for the doors at a basketball stadium. I come up about to his waist.
