Shaq to promote Li Ning

Postby Jing on Wed Aug 02, 2006 12:36 am

NBA star center Shaquille O'Neal is the latest international sports hero to join the LiNing family.

Sina.com, China's leading internet portal, reported Tuesday that the NBA Miami Heat player has signed a contract to promote the Chinese sportswear giant's basketball boots.

The company has kept the amount it spent on the deal top secret, but insiders reckon it was a generous sum, given O'Neal's status.
Shaq O'Neal is the second NBA player to join LiNing, after Cavalier's Damon Jones earlier this year.

China's leading sportswear company, LiNing, was created by and named after Chinese gymnastics legend Li Ning.

Currently striving to take the lead on the international stage, the company has acted as official sponsor for the national French gymnastic team and Spanish basketball team.

Company sources say LiNing intends to sign more NBA stars.

Lol, Shaq's trying to get back at Yao for taking his all-star spots in Yao's first couple seasons.

Well.. it's an easy link. Shaq and Damon are friends, shaq got him to come to the Heat 2 years ago.
Plus Shaq always had a weak spot for wack shoes.

Seems like every time Shaq joins an NBA club, a change in footwear is soon to follow.

I can imagine Shaq with his Li Ning modified on All-Star weekend, and then he'll make some chinese racist jokes about Yao not even getting a Li Ning... :lol:
