Ming towers over Gulbis, Creamer at pro-am

LPGA pros Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer met a highly (literally) impressive guest yesterday at the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am in South China.

The two could only stare in awe at former basketball pro. And judging from Ming's face, he gets that a lot.

Gulbis and Creamer are tall in their own right (both are 5-foot-9). But the two look bite-sized standing next to the retired Houston Rocket, who towers at 7-foot-6.

The Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am hosted nine professional golfers this year — including Gary Player, Suzann Pettersen, John Daly and Mark O’Meara — and 27 additional sports and entertainment stars such as Allen Iverson, Boris Becker and Michael Douglas.
