human
Do you like the N.B.A.? 
gpt
*leans forward* Not really... I prefer football.  I do know that Tim Duncan stayed in college before playing. 
human
I'm the same way. I do watch it from time to time. I admire Tim Duncan for staying in college for four years instead of going directly to the NBA. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah.  NBA seems full of self aggrandizing thugs.  Oh well, physicists proved that shooting free throws "granny style" is more consistent. 
human
Yeah apparently no player will do it because it looks stupid. I'd be trying to win games shooting like that and not worry about looking stupid.
gpt
I didn't know a team could make more money by losing.  The Warriors earned about $12M by losing game 4 of the NBA finals last year.
human
That's interesting. I wonder if any of that money went to Steph Curry's foundation that donates mosquito nets to protect families in Africa?
gpt
Not sure... Funny, even though the NBA banned Air Jordan's Jordan wore them anyway.  Nike, paid the fines.  They shouldn't have let him play - money corrupts everything. 
human
I think it paid off for them in the long run. It was a better deal than the lifetime deal Allen Iverson signed with Reebok. They pay him $800,000 a year until he's 55. Then he receives a lump some of $32 Million.
gpt
*eyes widen* Crazy money for a few minutes of work a year.  Most people don't even remember him.  When you watch movies, do you like drama?
human
I do like dramas. I really liked House. Did you know that Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor ever for a TV drama?
gpt
Yeah, something like $700,000 per episode.  I went into the wrong profession...
human
I did too. I wish my school had a drama class. Michael Caine joined the drama class at his high school because all the prettiest girls were in it.
gpt
Smart man!  Did you know the Spurs were known as a consistent team but all that's changing?
human
Yeah, with Parker and Ginobli both leaving, and Popovich possibly leaving too.
gpt
Also, Leonard is injured and demanding mo' money.  Free agency just proved there is no "team loyalty"  -- it's all about money...
human
Yep, very few athletes play the game for the love of the game anymore.
gpt
*takes a step forward* I didn't know Popovich coached the Spurs for over 20 years.
human
I didn't realize he's been there that long either.
gpt
It really looks like the Spurs have seen better days.  After such a long streak of winning seasons, it's inevitable.
