*tilts head* Hi there! Do you have a favorite basketball team?
gpt
Not really a favorite but I like the Cleveland Cavs.
human
I like the Bulls. I loved Michael Jordan. I know Air Jordan;s were his thing, but they were banned upon introduction. However Jordan wore them as Nike was willing to pay the league fines.
gpt
*takes a step forward* I like the sport because my son plays it in highschool and thats about as much as I really know about it. I love watching him play.
human
*eyes widen* The basics are that it's a team sport where two teams most commonly made of 5 players per team oppose one another with the goal of shooting baskets.I know Kareem Abdul-Jabar's dominant use of the dunk shot got banned from college BB for over a decade.
gpt
Thats awesome. Did you know that the U.S. Supreme Court Building  has a basketball court on the top floor known as "the highest court in the land"
human
*eyes widen* I did not know that! Great idea though.
gpt
I guess the sport pays great. Lebron James got a $90 million dollar deal from nike when he was only 19
human
*opens mouth slightly* Wow. That's a lot of money. Can you believe that some of Lebron's high school games would attract as many as 1750 attendees with tickets as high as $100-$120. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yeah I know thats crazy. I guess I should have played basketball.
human
*eyes brighten* I guess so. Hard to believe Lebron rejected Reebok's offer of 10 million dollars when he was 18 because he was sure he's get a better deal, and he did.
gpt
*laughs* And he was smart for doing it, because then he got the $90 million dollar Nike deal a year later.
human
Yes, he did. Very smart of him. Did you know athlete Tim Duncan of the Spurs sacrifices money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly into the NBA?
gpt
He must have valued his education a great deal. 
human
*smiles* I would agree.  Iverson's got a deal that is from Reebok that pays him 800k a year until age 55 and at that point he gets a 32 million lump sum payment.
gpt
Wow! I think that is insane!
human
Seems like a lot of money, especially from Reebok. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* Did you know that physicists proved that shooting "granny style" is the most accurate technique to score points on the line but NBA players refuse to do it because it looks stupid? 
human
I bet that I could even make a basket that way! 
gpt
*body relaxes* It looks like the money is in all sports, in 39 out of the 50 states the highest paid state employee is either a college football or college basketball coach.
