Clippers guard Baron Davis, according to this story in the Daily News, has signed a deal with the Chinese shoe and apparel company Li Ning.

Li, the former Chinese gymnast, did acrobatics in Beijing with his spectacular lighting of the torch, but he also made headlines when his company became involved in the slanted-eyes controversy with the Spanish basketball team.

Davis would be wise to avoid that kind of advertisement for Li Ning.
