Basketball journalist who has called NBA games for CCTV and online platforms, one of the best-known basketball pundits in China. He hosts the online show 杨毅侃球.
The 侃 in his show's title is northern slang for talking freely and at length, as in 侃大山 'to shoot the breeze', so 侃球 is 'chatting about ball games'. A big talker is a 侃爷.
