On the same Reddit thread, Downlow also confirmed that the drawing was based on a still shot taken out of a press conference video addressed by a Chinese basketball player Yao Ming and Ron Artest in May, 2009. This press conference was held after the 2009 National Basketball Association’s (NBA) playoff. American professional basketball player, Ron Artest (now known as Metta World Peace after legally changing his name in September 2011) was actually recounting to the journalists that after winning the match someone from the crowd was offering him beer and that he would have happily drunk it if only there were no cameras around. Hearing about the incident made Yao Ming laugh so hard that, later, it caught the attention of Downlow to create a meme out of it. This is how the famous Yao Ming meme came into existence.
