	Mengke Bateer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mengke Bateer (or Menk Batere, Chinese: 巴特爾; pinyin: Bātèěr, born November 20, 1975 in Hangjing County, Erdos Prairie, Inner Mongolia, China) is a professional basketball player formerly in the American NBA.
		Bateer had always been a regular in the National Team, but in 1997 he was cut from the team after "disciplinary problems".
		Bateer was a member of the San Antonio Spurs 2002-2003 championship team, and has also played for the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors.

		As of this writing, Bateer had started five of the last six games, putting up 6.2 ppg and 5.6 rpg in an average of 19 minutes during the Nuggets' late March road trip - modest yet promising numbers for a player whose NBA career began less than two months ago.
		The team brought Bateer to pre-season training camp last October, but was forced to cut him because of his binding contract with the Chinese Basketball Association's Beijing Ducks, where he posted 21 points and 12.8 rebounds a game last season.
		Bateer will play the remainder of the Nuggets season and then return to Beijing in May. He has enjoyed his time in the Mile High City, and hopes to be back on the team next year.
