Hey there do you ever watch basketball? Apparently a normal goal is worth 2 points and then if you make a point from that 3 point line, that is worth three points
gpt
I don't watch it much now, but I used to go to a lot of high school basketball games because my brother played. Considering how tall he is, I think he was a center
human
Oh that makes sense. I used to play a little bit in middle school myself. I have watched a lot of games go into overtime myself. Those are really entertaining I think
gpt
Definitely! Even the Supreme Court likes to play a game every once in a while since the top floor of their building has a basketball court
human
I know isn't that wild! And it's called the "highest court in the land". That's such a funny and goofy name haha
gpt
Of course it would be punny like that. I wonder if there's a funny story behind why the New Zealand basketball team is also known as the "tall blacks"
human
Yes it's either a funny story or a sad story haha. Another sad story is that the creator of basketball was a losing coach for his university. Apparently the only one to haha how is that possible
gpt
It's possible that he was coaching a different sport and invented basketball as a way to redeem himself
human
Haha that's a good theory. Do you have a theory on why the dunk was banned from college basketball for over 10 years? From what I heard it was because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was too good at it haha
gpt
*calm eyes* Probably. Sometimes things are banned for their overuse or for safety reasons, but then the rules change later
human
On a separate note, do you ever watch hockey? Or do you have a favorite team? I know that I like the Red Wings
gpt
I don't watch it, but I have a friend who really enjoys it. There was a player who won four Stanley Cups who was traded for $1 at one point. I guess he showed them
human
Wow that is pretty crazy haha. I bet the team that traded him is kicking themselves haha. Why do you think Canada's national sports are lacrosse and ice hockey?
gpt
I'm not sure about lacrosse, but it's cold enough up there most of the year for ice hockey to be popular. 
human
Yes that must be what it is. It's just so cold those are the only games that they can play year-round haha. Did you know that most hockey rinks are actually basketball courts as well? They can just change the floor out
gpt
I have seem stadiums set up like that. Maybe I should try ice hockey since professional players can lost 8 pounds in one game
human
*raises eyebrows* I should do that too! I need to lose some weight haha. Canada is so dominant at hockey though. In the first Winter Olympic Games they scored 132 goals
gpt
*takes a step back* I hope they got the gold medal with that many goals!
human
I think they won haha! Apparently they only let in like three goals for the entire winter Olympics
gpt
That's impressive. I wonder if they ever venture into field hockey like other countries do
