People like Gan Guoyang, who maintain such a clean image, actually seem abnormal to the average person. Is this guy too perfect?
"So what is the real big issue?"
"The real big issue... it's like what happened with Lawufo, that's a big problem."
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, nicknamed the Moonlight Pistol, was a guard for the Nuggets team and a star player full of potential when he first entered the league.
He had excellent shooting skills, an extremely accurate free-throw rate, with his highest season free-throw percentage reaching 95.6%, and he averaged 19 points per game, making him a promising new star.
However, like Jabbar and Olajuwon, he converted to Islam and in 1996 refused to appear during the pre-game playing of the American national anthem.
This action caused discontent among the fans. Someone reported him to the League, believing Lawufo's actions were very inappropriate and that he should no longer be allowed to play in the NBA.
