Do you watch the NBA?
gpt
Sometimes, I do but rarely. How about you?
human
*eyes widen* I watch a pretty good bit of it. It's sad that the WNBA doesn't get as much love as NBA. They just can't seem to get a winning formula to win over fans.
gpt
*frowns* Half of the league's 12 teams are losing money.
human
It's sad, I wonder how long they will keep it going? They did seem to do better in attendance in 2017. There was an average of over 7,700 fans per game. That's the highest since 2009.
gpt
Some of the players only make $39,000.
human
*opens mouth slightly* That's horrible for a professional athlete. It's barely more than the G-League players make.
gpt
They think part of the issue may be that they need to move the season to a different part of the year.
human
They would probably do better in the summer, there's not much going on and basketball fans would like something to watch during that time.
gpt
Yes, moving the season to the fall would carry risk because football dominates then and NBA starts in October or November.
human
*leans forward* They just need a better marketing plan. Maybe connect with younger basketball fans to give them inspiration and help boost viewership.
gpt
Right. It could just be a marketing problem.
human
*eyes widen* Did you know that in 39 states the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach?
gpt
Interesting. Speaking of college, I think it is cool that Tim Duncan of the spurs stayed in college for four years instead of going right to the NBA
human
That's awesome that he did that. He can definitely be a role model for his younger fans. It'll show them that an education is more important than going to the NBA.
gpt
Right, and that it is good to have a backup plan. After five years of retirement, 60 percent of players are broke.
human
*takes a step back* That's crazy, you'd figure that they'd learn from other's mistakes. Allen Iverson signed a lifetime deal with Reebok, he gets $800,000 until he's 55. That's a smart deal.
gpt
*takes a step back* And NBA legend made a not so smart deal. He chose $100,000 up front over a 10% stake in Nike. Had he accepted the stake, he would have 8.62 billion now.
human
Ouch that's not a smart move. I bet he's kicking himself now.
gpt
Right. Speaking of deals, did you know that most of the deals on Shark Tank are never enacted?
