Do you know a lot about basketball? I find it very confusing as a game. 
gpt
Yeah, I've always been a fan. I remember when Kareem Abdul Jabbar dunked so much that the move got banned from college ball for years.  
human
They must have lifted that ban because you always see players dunking now. Seems like it would be more of a challenge to make the shots from further back for more points. 
gpt
Yeah, the dunk is such a crowd pleaser. In 39 states, the highest paid state employee is a college basketball or football coach. Crazy. 
human
Wow that is quite the feat for a state employee. I guess people really love their sports. 
gpt
Here's a funny fact -- the guy who invented basketball is the only losing coach in the history of University of Kansas. 
human
*takes a step forward* That is pretty funny. Imagine being horrible at the amazing sport you invented!? Kind of a bittersweet victory. 
gpt
Haha. The New Zealand basketball team is called the Tall Blacks. I'm sure that's for the team colors but they might want to rethink that name. 
human
Yeah that seems like a name that could be misconstrued in this day and age. 
gpt
The Supreme Court building has a basketball coach on the top floor, referred to as -- wait for it -- the highest court of the land. Good to know the SCOTUS is into puns. 
human
Well the whole government is a bit of a joke right now so they might as well make puns about it. I can't imagine that court gets used much. 
gpt
Haha. Can't argue with that. Segueing into music, do you like Jazz? I heard trumpeters have goatees so its easier to play. 
human
I don't mind Jazz. It is a bit freeform for my taste. I would have thought the facial hair would get in the way of playing. 
gpt
As a trumpet player, I can say it would be more so the metal of the mouthpiece would feel better on the lips. 
human
*raises eyebrows* Ah that makes more sense then. Jazz always seemed like a very difficult genre to learn. 
gpt
*laughs* Yeah, it is tough. A Harlem woman has had free jazz concerts at her apartment every week for 20 years. Sometimes big names stop by. That would be cool to see. 
human
Imagine being there just hanging out and some of the greats walk through the door. It would be hard not to freak out! I wonder if Clint Eastwood ever stops by?
gpt
*smiles* I bet so. He a lifelong fan of jazz. He's even scored a few of his films, like Million Dollar Baby. 
human
*eyes widen* That is amazing. He is quite the entertainer. Actor, director, and apparently accomplished musician. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* Definitely a renaissance man. Pakistan has a Jazz orchestra that has topped the charts around the world. Who knew?
