Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

Whatever happened to...

...former Nugget Mengke Bateer?  A former member of China Basketball's "Walking Great Wall" alongside Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, Bateer has resurfaced as a Chinese action movie star.  See, so not all of Kiki Vandeweghe's foreign acquisitions were total busts after all.

 Many thanks to the folks at ShamSports for digging this up...

Nice find Andy … I do remember that guy, mainly for not playing.

No clue who Bateer is in the video

But I’m assuming he’s the tall guy who gets stabbed death. Maybe he should have played baseball instead. He seemed to have no problem throwing those huge melons. Thanks for the post Andrew, that is really interesting.

"I'm kinda grumpy today, dude. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I was having those dreams again. Ya know, how it's just me in a castle and I gotta fight, like, a thousand wizards and the only way to beat them is to punch them as hard as I can in their faces. Then, when I'm done, all their little wizard wives came out and wanted me to have sex with them - which is kinda weird."

STIFF LIST (as of 1/30 by Jeff Morton)

1. THE ORLANDO MAGIC
After starting the season so well with the Dwight Howard trade drama (10-3) - the Magic have fallen apart (2-5 since) with embarrassing losses to the Celtics (twice), Hornets, and Pacers. Trade Dwight already!

2. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS' FLOP VS. NUGGETS
In the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chauncey pulled off an acting performance so good it deserved an Academy Award. If he was still a Nugget we would love it, but he's not. STIFF!

3. JIMMER FREDETTE
Dude, if you are going to take the game-winning shot, at least draw some iron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNO1goJOruQ

4. GEORGE KARL'S 4TH QUARTER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS
Getting out coached by Vinny Del Negro should be a nice wake-up call. Going away from Gallo. Leaving Al Harrington in. Using Rudy Fernandez at point guard. And going ultra small contributed to the Nuggets loss.

5. JEFF MORTON
For saying that the Nuggets would skimp on payroll and go cheap like the Avalanche. Clearly I was wrong and deserve to be on this Stiff List. I can only hope that the gods of basketball forgive me.
