Hi, do you like basketball?
gpt
*eyes widen* Big fan here!  Do you remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
human
I was not old enough to see him play but I do know him. Do you like him?
gpt
I did.  He was famous for his hook shot and dunking.  He dunked so much in college that they banned if for over a decade!
human
If you cannot stop it, get it banned???? Seems like a fearful reasonse.
gpt
*body relaxes* LOL I think it was because they used to shatter the backboards back then and the games would have to stop.  The rims would just shatter to tiny shards of glass.
human
Good for him. He's trying to help recycle by breaking it up into smaller pieces. You're welcome!
gpt
lol Do you know who James Naismith is?
human
The inventor of basketball and the losingest coach in Kansas history? I ma aware of him. If you invent the game, just change the rules to get a better winning record!
gpt
*laughs* Yes! ..and lol!  In 39 out of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach!  Wonder how the tax payers feel about that in those states?
human
If it is Alabama and football, pretty good. Their total profit was $48M with a $2M surplus, which is $2M that the state does not need to subsidize.
gpt
*smiles* Ahh...I didn't know that.  So if they make a profit then the state doesn't have to susidize?
human
Correct. They help offset the cost of the second tiered sports.
gpt
Ok.  Cool.  I didn't even think about taxes and state college coach salaries until today.  lol  Do you know what they call the basketball court that is on the top floor of the US supreme court building?
human
I do not know? The highest court in the land?
gpt
You got it!  lol  The New Zealand basketball team is nicknamed the "tall blacks".  What are they thinking?  That's nuts.
human
I know! Seems a little racist!
gpt
*eyes brighten* No doubt!  Do you use Facebook?
human
I do. Do you use facebook?
gpt
Yes I do.  Did you hear about the Facebook promotion that Burger King had?
