human
Hi are you a basketball fan?
gpt
Hi, I watch a little every now and then.  How about you?
human
*smiles* Same here.  Mainly in the winter months.  Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA but Jordan wore them anyhow because Nike was willing to pay the fine for each game.
gpt
I remember when they came out, everybody wanted a pair, because that's what MJ was wearing!
human
Yes!  I remember that too!  Did you ever have a favorite basketball shot growing up?  I used to love to shoot granny style.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* No, I didn't, I sucked at layups, free throws, and three pointers. Lol Granny style shooting looks funny, you don't see many people doing it.
human
lol  Physicists proved that shooting granny style is the absolute best technique to consistently score points from the free throw line.  NBA players refuse to do it because it looks stupid. LOL
gpt
I agree, it does.  I wish I was a better player, like Lebron James and could dunk that ball, but, at 5'5" That is just not happening!
human
LOL You and me both.  Warner Bros. and LeBron signed a deal for a new "Space Jam" sequel.  I've never seen the first one.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* My grandkids loved the first Space Jam movie, I'll have to take them to see this new one.  Lebron is not only talented in basketball but very smart as well.  Did you know he rejected an offer from Reebok for $10 million when he was 18 years old and turned around a year later and got a deal from Nike worth $ 90 million?
human
*body relaxes* I couldn't even imagine to have that kind of money at 18.  Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode, making her the highest paid celebrity after LeBron.
gpt
*eyes widen* Wow, me either.Hard to believe they make so much, but 60% of the average players in the NBA five years after retirement are broke.
human
That amazes me.  Some of LeBron's high school games would attract 1,750 people and tickets would cost anywhere from $100 to $120!
gpt
I think people knew from the start he was a great player.  Did you know he has a photographic memory?
human
I didn't know that.  Do you like Steph Curry?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes, he plays on one of my favorite teams.
human
Nice!  The Warriors are on a role winning back to back titles.  I think they might have a decent shot at winning again this year.
gpt
I hope so.  I grew up in California and have always followed them.
human
Yes!  Did you know that both LeBron James and Steph Curry were both born in Akron, Ohio?  It's been fun chatting!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* That's cool.  I wonder if they knew each other around town?  Lol It's been nice chatting with you, too.  Enjoy the rest of your day.
