Gan Guoyang received a call from Larry Flesher at five in the morning on the 28th, informing him that he had won the 1986 Regular Season MVP.
On the phone, Flesher was very excited. He said that Ah Gan had made history, and his name would surely be engraved on the monument of North American professional sports history as an important page.
The reason Flesher called so early was that he knew Gan Guoyang would be up early for a run; if he'd waited any later, Guoyang wouldn't be at home.
"I appreciate you getting up so early to call me. Why don't you go back to sleep for a bit?" said Gan Guoyang, his voice calm.
"Sleep a bit... I'm sleepy my ass! Can't you be a little happier? You're the MVP! The first in the NBA, the first foreign MVP of the four major leagues, and the first Asian MVP. Do you know how amazing that is?"
"Not bad, but I'm not the first Asian president. Are you coming to tonight's game? If you're not, I won't save a ticket for you, and they are extremely tight."
