Tyler Hansbrough on Life in China, Not Wanting to Fight Metta World Peace

Posted Jan 3, 2018
Former UNC great Tyler Hansbrough is in China after spending last season with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G League. The prospect of an NBA team giving him a shot this season seemed dicey, so Hansbrough decided to pack his stuff and head to Asia, in part due to an increasing number of former NBA players hooping there. There, the 32 year old has found success. (Bleacher Report)
