Li Ning is the leading shoe and sports goods company in China. In 2006, they signed Shaquille O’Neal of the Cleveland Cavaliers to a $1.25 million 5-year deal. Aside from the big guy, Baron Davis of the LA Clippers and Jose Calderon of the Toronto Raptors are the other NBA stars with a deal from Li Ning.
The three are currently in China to promote Li Ning products. They will hold Style Fighter 3+1 Basketball Challenge and NBA Stars’ Meet in Beijing, Zhengzhou, Shijiazhuang, Changsha and Chengdu. There will be a 3+1 contest, one-to-one contest, slam dunk competition and skill competition and a chance for the Chinese youth to learn from these NBA stars.
To pimp the tour, Li Ning released a series of posters showing the players with their spirit animals representing their style of play. Pictures were taken from huangcheng.cc.

Nice posters. Shaq should be able to sell tons of shoes with these.
