Hi!  Do you watch basketball?
gpt
*tilts head* Yea, I'm a huge knicks fan but follow the other 29 teams in the NBA, you?
human
I personally root for the Bulls, have since Jordan played.
gpt
The game was so much better then, it's crazy that the Air Jordans were originally banned by the nba when they first came out
human
And Nike believed in Jordan and them so much they just paid the fines!
gpt
It was a smart move by Nike, Air Jordan made them billions of dollars
human
It certainly did, they are still popular today!
gpt
Yea and set the tone for people like Iverson to get lifetime endorsements with Reebok
human
He made out well with that deal, I dont think his shoes have sold nearly as well.
gpt
No when Iverson hits 55 he'll get a 32,000,000 lump sum regardless
human
That is pretty incredible.  If even take the $800,000 per year he is making, Even for just one year!
gpt
Yea, it's pretty crazy that Duncan never got a shoe deal but he probably didn't want one, he did sacrifice money to stay in college
human
That was likely the smart option.  Many players are bankrupt 5 years after retiring.
gpt
*hands at sides* That's a shame, kinda like Reggie Miller getting out shined by his sister Cheryl when she scored 105 points in one game
human
Yeah, teams dont even score that, but he made hall of fame, so its all good!
gpt
I wonder if players would score more if they shot granny style since its the best technique according to physicists
human
Probably.  If shaq did that he might have been better at the line.  lol
gpt
*takes a step back* Shaq would still probably miss lol. It's crazy that college basketball banned dunking due to how dominant Kareem abdul-jabbar was with it
human
I  know, I couldnt imagine it without the dunk!
gpt
*tilts head* I wonder if anyone ever dunked on the basketball court at the supreme court
