Hello! Are you excited for March Madness next month?
gpt
I love it every year!  My son went to Kansas and I went to Oklahoma.  Kansas is not as strong as in recent years.

I'm not super into basket ball at all really, but that's what I hear! The NBA isn't my thing really. I know about the big players but that's about it. I know that they're some of the highest paid athletes.

Physicists have proven that shooting granny style is the best for free throws, but players have too much ego to use it.
human
Of course! It's not flashy enough! It's not sexy. I remember watching Jordan 'play' in Space Jam ages ago. It was flashy and fun to watch him. Did you know that they signed LeBron for a Space Jam 2?
gpt
No, I did not.  Air Jordan's were banned in the NBA but Jordan wore them anyway.  Nike paid a fine for every game he wore them.
human
Doesn't surprise me to be honest. The man has guts and doesn't care. I know LeBron did something sort of similar - he rejected a sponsorship from Reebok and just held out for Nike. Basketball players seem to really love the flashy lifestyle

Allen Iverson was pretty practical by comparison. He accepted low pay of $800,000 per season but gets a lump sum of $32,000,000 at age 55.
human
...I like that that's practical in the sports world. I mean, at least players like Duncan have the sense to finish college first.

*hands at sides* Have you heard of Reggie Miller.  He once scored 40 point in a game and found out that his sister had scored 105 points and broken 8 national records.  They were both great players!

Wow! Talk about running in the family! That probably makes for some awkward family holidays. 
gpt
Well, men made more money in the game, so he did okay.  The drama around the dinner table would be like all dramas, a little comedy and a little poetry.
human
*opens mouth slightly* And a lot of irritated mom and dad I'm sure! I recently learned that Jim Carrey doesn't do dramas anymore - apparently he refuses to do projects that don't project positivity. It's a nice idea, but that sounds like it REALLY limits his options
gpt
He is bi-polar, so he thinks differently that many people do.  The word drama comes from the Greek word "action".  Now if you look at movie lists, drama and action are two different genres.
human
Is he really? I had no idea! I know that Michael Caine got into acting because all the prettiest girls were in drama class - I wonder if any of them had any idea how great he would go on to become.
gpt
I had heard that before. I have been to the UK, and sadly none of the girls there were for me! John Hamm taught drama at his old high school and one of his student was Ellie Kemper who played on the Office.
human
Oh dear god, that just gave me the giggles. I've only seen a few episodes of the office, I just get too distracted to binge it. Even though I LOVE the deadpan looks to the camera.

Hugh Laurie was the highest paid dramatic actor on TV making $700,000 per episode in House.
human
*laughs* And he was worth every penny! I can't believe that he's from the UK originally - his accent is so convincing. I know that the director actually had no idea he wasn't american at first!
gpt
I agree!  I was shocked when I finally heard him speak naturally on a talk show.  If you ever saw the show, you know we have to rule out Lupus.
