Default drive shaft free-play

hey.. how much free-play if any is your driftshaft suppose to have (rear drive shaft).. i have a manual, but i put the brake on and i can still twist the drive shaft a good centimeter around.. it looks to me theres a little freeplay where the driveshaft goes into the transmission is this something to be worried about or is it typical?

there's a smidgen of play in the drive shaft splines, and a good bit in the Park position lock (notice the way it'll roll a little). but should be absolutely none in the u-joints.
