Hi are you a basketball fan?
gpt
Yea but not as much as I used to with the Warriors always winning the title, maybe Houston will be able to beat them soon
human
It gets old when the same teams win all the time.  Do you remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
gpt
I know who he is but don't think I was born yet when he was on the Lakers, I do now he has a crazy dunk
human
*laughs* Yes.  He dunked som much that they banned the shot from college basketball for over a decade.  He was also famous for his hook shot.
gpt
That's pretty cool, I know he played before players got major shoe deals like the lifetime deal Allen Iverson got with Rebok
human
Do you know any details about that Iverson detail by any chance?
gpt
I know Iverson gets 800,000 a year until he turns 55 then gets 32,000,000
human
Sweet!  LeBron James rejected a 10 million offer from Reebok when he was just 18.  Less than a year later, he accepted a $90 million offer from Nike!
gpt
Pretty smart move on his part. I know when Air Jordans first came out the NBA banned them but Nike just payed Jordan's fines
human
Good marketing move for them.  Those shoes exploded because of Jordan.  Do you know who James Naismith is?
gpt
*calm eyes* Yea, he was the University of Kansas coach with the only losing record
human
Correct!  The New Zealand basketball team is nicknamed the "tall blacks"  Yikes!
gpt
I guess New Zealand like their teams names to be on the nose with a name like Tall Blacks
human
Crazies. lol  The US supreme court has a basketball court on the top floor.  Any guesses as to what they call it?
gpt
"The Highest Court in the Land" which probably has the oldest people to ever play basketball
human
haha I wonder if they shoot granny style since physicists proved that shooting granny style is the absolute best technique to consistently score points from the free throw line.
gpt
I don't think they are throwing down Kareem Abdul-Jabber like dunks, that's for sure
human
*smiles* No.  They would be breaking hips and not backboards. lol  Warner Bros. and LeBron James have signed a new deal for a Space Jam sequel.  That should be good.  Thanks for chatting!
gpt
A space jam with Lebron James sound like it will disappoint, well have a good day
