*smiles* I can't wait for march madness! I hope some of these kids make it to the NBA to play for the men's pro USA leagues.
gpt
I hope they do too.  NBA players are the world's best paid athletes.
human
*eyes brighten* Allen Iverson made a great endorsement deal with reebok back in 2001.
gpt
What kind of deal did he make?
human
*smiles* He is getting 800k a year until he's 55, at which time he gets a lump sum payment of 32 million!
gpt
Wow! That is a really great deal!  Basketball is lucrative for everyone involved.  I mean, Nike's air jordans were banned at first by the nba.  Michael Jordan wore them anyway and Nike payed the fines because it was great publicity.  
human
I can imagine paying the fines is worth it for the huge publicity! Jordan never shot granny style despite it being the best technique according to physicists. 
gpt
That's true.  I'd like to see the players shoot that way. They say they won't because it looks stupid though.
human
Better to be smart than look stupid. Great example is tim duncan that finished college before going to the nba.
gpt
I definitely agree and that is very impressive of him.  He could have made more money at the start but chose his education instead.
human
*body relaxes* TV actors make pretty good money too. Hugh laurie makes 700k per house episode.
gpt
Really?  That's a lot of money!  DId you know that Jim carrey won't do dramas any more because he says they go against his beliefs for projecting positive emotions?
human
*takes a step back* If you have enough money I guess you can be picky about what jobs you take. Can you imagine having jon hamm as your drama teacher in high school? he taught ellie kemper!
gpt
*calm eyes* That would be really cool!  I guess he was a good teacher seeing as how she went on to be on the office.
human
She was great on that show! some people get intro drama for the pretty girls like michael caine.
gpt
Hahaha! Is that why he got into acting?  Well, it turned out to be to his benefit in more ways than one I suppose.
human
The drama masks represent comedy and tragedy.
gpt
Is that from the Greeks?  I was under the impression that they invented drama.
human
Yes! Drama is a greek word and it means action.
gpt
That is so strange. I really don't associate action with drama. It seems like more of a still emotion to me.
