    Bateer finds movies a whole new ball game
    China Daily

    Former NBA star Mengke Bateer has joined the cast of Assassins and Bodyguards (Shiyue Weicheng), a star-studded blockbuster currently in production and due to screen at the end of the year.

    The film, set in 1905, recounts how a group of kungfu masters protected Dr Sun Yat-sen in Hong Kong from would-be assassins.

    Bateer, Donnie Yen and Leon Lai, are among Sun's six bodyguards. The 2.1-m center plays a street vendor who masters martial arts and says speaking his lines has proven more difficult than playing basketball and his action scenes have been equally challenging.

    Born in 1975 in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Bateer used to play for several NBA teams, including Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs, and now plays for Xinjiang Guanghui.

    The film, directed by Teddy Chen and produced by Peter Chan also features Nicolas Tse, Eric Tsang and Chris Lee, winner of China's version of American Idol.

    Where do you find this stuff? Keep it up!!!
    Glad you like it.

    I don't miss much on Duncan, so anything Spurs related comes with the territory. As long as he stays a Spur I'll keep finding stuff.

    I read once his ambition in life was to become a policeman. Would make for one scary cop.

    Ha-Seung Jin was 7'3". Blazers were thinking to get another Yao and capitalize on the Asian market. Epic Fail.

    Where is he now?

    Back in South Korea with KCC Jeonju.

    KCC Jeonju which won the 2009 Korean Basketball League (KBL) championship.

    Nike Signs Deal With First Korean NBA Player
    Jul 6, 2004 11:04 AM
    Sports apparel maker Nike has signed a five-year sponsorship deal with Ha Seung-jin, the first South Korean player in the National Basketball Association.

    The contract deal was concluded in April but announced last week after the NBA draft. Nike will provide equipment such as basketballs, sportswear and sneakers, and incentives to Seung-jin in exchange for Seung-jin's participation in Nike events. The 19-year-old superstar was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round of the NBA draft.

    Seung-jin's agency SFX brokered the deal. Financial details were not disclosed.
