Chinese basketball player Menk Bateer is working to secure a deal with the
Cleveland Cavaliers though it's not easy.
The Mongolian-born center used to play for Beijing of the Chinese league and
the national team before joining the San Antonio Spurs in the 2002/03 season.
Though luckily winning a champion's ring with the Spurs two years ago, he
didn't play a minute in that playoff season and began to struggle for a contract
with whatever franchise interested in him.
Bateer trained with the Chicago Bulls in the summer, and now wears a Cavalier
jersey.
He certainly knows the challenge, especially after staying on the bench
through Cleveland's 116-94 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
