Yao Ming's golf skills lacking in retirement

Yao Ming's golf skills lacking in retirement

Behold Yao Ming's humanity.

Really drink it in. Watch him curl himself over his club. Watch him swing it like it's a pencil. Watch him pull his head and get all grass. It's what you want. It's what we all want.

We like to know our Goliaths can be taken down. We like to know Superman has kryptonite. Just like us!

Is there anything more annoying than watching some great athlete excel at everything? Probably so. But still, it's awful. It's like, OK, fine, you're awesome at basketball, but do you have to be able to learn to water ski in two minutes, too? Ugh. The worst.

Yao spares us of that with his golf performance at a charity event in his native China. Good on you, Yao. Good on you.
