Gan Guoyang is not a veteran who likes to play the "Welcome to the NBA" game.
On the contrary, Gan Guoyang is relatively friendly to most rookies who have just entered the league.
He is not interested in bullying newcomers or hazing rookies. Although it's an old tradition in the NBA, Gan Guoyang does not agree with it.
The Chinese say "do not do unto others what you do not want done unto you," and when Gan Guoyang was a rookie, he most disliked veterans bullying using their seniority.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and if any old guy from any team dared to bully him, he'd go up with direct punches and wrestling.
Fighting a whole team alone was no problem.
Now that he has become a veteran himself, he is keen on tormenting those old friends with comparable skills, like Jordan, Ewing, Malone, Barkley, Hakeem, O'Neal, etc.
