The Basketball Jones got their hands on this wonderful Chinese beer commercial that just happens to star Atlanta Hawks guard Tracy McGrady. Sedrin is the official Chinese beer of the NBA, and that means the NBA has an official Chinese beer. The more you know.
Foreign commercials (especially Japanese ones) are notoriously bizarre but are able to attract top-tier celebrities because of, well, the outlandish paycheck.

More recently, we're seeing pro athletes testing out the foreign ad waters (NBA lockout, tough economy, you know how it is). So watch Tracy McGrady and these 5 other ads featuring professional athletes looking absolutely ridiculous as they hawk overseas goods.
