Last year, Shane Battier had signed Peak, Chuck Hayes had sign with Li-Ning. After these successful commercial cooperation, especially Battier. Last week, SF3 and Scola had signed with China Anta, a shoe company in China. (PS: If this post is not appropriate, please lock. )
I think Rockets owner Les Alexander has some shares of Anta. That said, Stevie and Scola shoe deal is not a surprise.
Hey my father bought me a pair of ANTA shoes from China years ago, just for casual wear. I don't know about the technology but the shoes were long-lasting though (took a lot of punishment).
How much money were the deals for? If Chinese companies keep giving Rocket players lucrative endorsement deals....then, that and the no state income tax can prove to be an attractive incentive to play in Houston.
We often said "I CAN PLAY" refer to Battier. That is a advertising message of Peak. I only knew Peak give Battier 400$ per year.
Oh, it's my fault. The exact number is 4,000,000$. Link:http://www.chinapeak.com.cn/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardID=33&ID=704&page=2
[Chron.com] 2 more Rockets got shoe deals from China Guess who? Spoiler [Edit:] Ahhhh, stupid me overlooked this thread. Thanks Mod to merge my thread into here.
Steve was done with Reebok after his first year in Orlando. He's taken to wearing Nikes since, although he wore the Starburies a few times last season to show support.
Very Interesting, Scola and Francis sign for less than they are worht and then get Deals from a company Les has interests in.
Thank you! You find the original website. I translated this post from Chinese website(hoopchina.com).
I noticed it from hoopchina.com too. But they put in the chron link when I read the post. And in fact, Pryuen beats me to it already. He mentioned it was from Chronicle like 6 hours earlier than me.
