human
*body relaxes* Hi, how are you?
gpt
I'm good, just getting ready to watch some basketball today. How about you?
human
That's cool, I'm going to try to catch some basketball games myself, today.  Who's your favorite player?
gpt
*eyes widen* Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is my all-time favorite. He was such a dominant dunker that he got it banned from college basketball for over a decade!
human
I like him too, his use of the dunk was epic and I can see why it got banned.  My favorite player is Lebron James.
gpt
I like Lebron too, I can't wait to see his "Space Jam" sequel.
human
Me either, my grandkids really liked the original Space Jam.
gpt
*takes a step back* I really liked it too. Did you know that Physicist proved that shooting "granny style" is the absolute best technique to consistently make free throws, but NBA players refuse to do it because it looks stupid to them?
human
I had heard that and yes, it does look stupid, but I'd do it myself it it got some points scored.  Lol Do you remember when Air Jordans first came out and the NBA banned them?
gpt
I do, and he wore them anyways. Nike was willing to pay the fine each game. 
human
*takes a step back* Nike sure has lots of money to do that.  They also gave Lebron James $ 90 million in a deal after he turned down $10 million form Reebok a year earlier, because he said Nike or Adidas might offer him more.  King James was correct!
gpt
*eyes widen* Indeed he was! Speaking of Reebok, Allen Iverson signed a lifetime deal with them in 2001 that pays him $800,000 a year until he reaches 55.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Wow, he was smart, also, because that deal pays him a final lump sum of $32,000,000 if I'm not mistaken.
gpt
That's right, he should be set if he's smart about his money. Another smart player is Tim Duncan, he sacrificed money and actually stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.
human
Yes, that was very smart on his part.
gpt
Did you know that in 39 states in the US, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach? That's pretty wild!
human
*takes a step forward* Yes, it is.  Did you know the US supreme court has a court on the top floor known as the highest court in the land?
gpt
Oh wow, that's kind of neat. I wonder if they ever play any pickup games during a break?
human
Could you see Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her sneakers shooting granny style?  lol
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I would pay to see that! lol 
human
*raises eyebrows* Me too, she's a beast!  Hope she's on the mend after her recent fall, though.  On a different note, did you know the New Zealand basketball team is nicknamed the Tall blacks?  Isn't that kind of racist, to you?
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yeah that is pretty racist. I don't think I would want to wear any of their memorabilia. Did you know that the inventor of basketball, James Naismith, is the only losing coach in the University of Kansas history?
human
*opens mouth slightly* Me either very racist.  I don't know how they get away with that in 2019?  Anyway, I think it's very ironic about James Naismith, as the inventor he should have rigged the game of basketball to allow his teams to win.
gpt
It brings a new meaning to "beating you at your own game." lol
