Taiwanese Yao Ming animation includes hilarious depiction of Charles Barkley (video)

In China this is how they think Charles Barkley looks. Yao Ming officially retired, as you know, and you’d better believe that warrants a computer animation segment from Taiwanese juggernaut New Media Animation. Here we are reminded that when Yao first signed, Barkley predicted he would never score more than 19 points in a game. Oops. It doesn’t pay to anger a country with this much animation technology and this little regard for how you actually look.

Among the other nuggets are the fact that, apparently, Yao was twice the size of the average Chinese newborn; and a scene in which a woman gives birth to a basketball on an outdoor court. Oh, and there’s Yao riding a shark.
