By WENN, June 3 2008

U.S. basketball star SAMUEL DALEMBERT is suing a design studio he claims conned him out of more than $1 million (GBP500,000) he thought he was investing into comic book movie SPEED RACER.

The Philadelphia 76ers player claims he handed the money over to a design studio in New York in 2006, in the belief it was using his investment to license Speed Racer products and merchandise.

According to TMZ.com, Dalembert has filed a lawsuit, seeking more than $50,000 (GBP25,000) from Art Asylum, claiming they never had the rights to Speed Racer in the first place.
