The knockoffs are not too bad as well. I think I still have a pair of Air Jardon's and Roobok's in my closet.

An outside shot of Battier making the all-star game = Yao is only an all star because of Chinese people voting. Okay. David Wesley got the 8th most votes of any Guard in the West last year, more than Sam Cassell and Mike Bibby. I guess David Wesley is a lot more well known in the States than I thought he was. I even acknowledged in my original post that we'd have to listen to the "pissing and moaning" of other fans like they do when Yao makes it (because of the common misperception so timely pointed out by krosfyah).

You do realize that the All Star game was in Houston this year. Anytime an All-Star game is in your home city, the team encourages you to fill out many more ballots. Weren't people getting T-Shirts when they filled out 100+ ballots?

What's the amount of the contract?r The Chinese article said Peak paid 4 mil for the Toyota Center sponsorship deal, didn't mention Battier unless I read wrong.

Shane Battier at the signing ceremony with China Peak.

He was gifted a model of the Shenzhou 6 rocket, and has his foot size measured on spot

Well, Shane Battier had a busy day of activities.

First showing up at Beijing People's University at 09:00am, and demonstrating/teaching the basketball players a few of his basketball tricks.

Then the Internet Online chat at sina.com at 11:00am.

And in the afternoon, Shane Battier shot his first commercial for China Peak.

And right after the commercial shooting, he even challenged the Deputy General Manager of China Peak for a game of table tennis, which he narrowly lost.

Well, that's a nice chunk of change, Battier ought to send Yao a thank-you note for being so damn popular!

I hope he at least tested the shoes out a bit before his eyes filled with dollar signs. I'm not saying these are poor-quality shoes, but I'd want to make sure they're pretty damn comfortable if I'm locked into wearing them every night for the rest of my career.

EDIT: Whoops, only two years. Yeah, for 4 mill. I think I could do that.

Here is a news for you, China is making shoes for the World. Chances are this peak shoe comes off same assembly line that makes Nikes, Reebook in a factory somewhere in Canton. It's not like shoes are high tech either.

Now, somebody send these pics of Shane to Bozi and that will make him sign for the vet's min with us. Also China business sponsor in the past had shown they are willing to pay for players to be on the team the whole China is rooting for. Rox ought to explore avenue. I dont think NBA has rule against that.

Just like the Chinese said, you can't be a hero until you climb the Great Wall, so without exception, Shane Battier climbed the Great Wall this morning just like any ordinary tourist will do while visiting Beijing.

Shane Battier even had a little basketball clinic on the top of the Great Wall with 3 lucky draw winners from one of these Peak sponsored activities.
