Over his career, he has had scoring duels with players like Jabbar, Bird, Jordan, Barkley, Malone, O'Neal, Kobe, and Duncan.
Unexpectedly, there came a day when he would compete with Nash in scoring, which made him feel novel and excited.
When Nash countered with a stop-and-shoot three-pointer, cutting the gap to 3 points, Gan Guoyang immediately responded with a long-range three-pointer, cooling down the arena.
"Come on! Keep shooting, Steve! Let's see who is Gonzaga's top scorer."
Nash ignored Gan Guoyang's words, thinking what a joke, how could I compete with you for Gonzaga's top spot?
Up to today, "Gan Guoyang Day" in Spokane has already become one of the city's most important holidays.
The whole city takes a half-day off to commemorate this great player and his time at Gonzaga University.
But Nash was indeed somewhat in a heady state; as a Point Guard, Nash is a rather emotional player.
