Chapitre 257: Chapter 140 I slipped

On May 16, the NBA officially announced the Rookie of the Year for the 1984-1985 season.

Gan Guoyang and Michael Jordan shared this honor, becoming the second pair of rookie players to win the award simultaneously, after Dave Cowens and Geoff Petrie in 1971.

Thus, Gan Guoyang became the first Asian in the history of American professional sports leagues to win such an honor.

According to Stern's new policy at the time, all award ceremonies would take place on June 24 in San Francisco.

Gan Guoyang received a call from Larry Fleisher at noon, informing him of the good news. Gan Guoyang appeared calm on the surface, but he clenched his fist tightly.

The weight of the Rookie of the Year award is not as significant as the MVP, but there is only one chance to win Rookie of the Year, and after the rookie season, it's no longer possible.

Although Jordan also won it, meaning Gan Guoyang didn't manage to widen the gap in this award, at least he didn't fall behind.
