Good morning!  Do you like basketball?
gpt
Hello there, I do like basketball, how about you?
human
Yes I do.  Did you know that the dunk shot got banned from college basketball for over ten years?
gpt
I think I have read about that before, I think it was one of my favs Kareem abdul-Jabbar that was the cause of that. 
human
I think you're right.  I'm glad it's not banned any more. It really adds excitement to the game don't you think?
gpt
Yeah it sure does, and now the game is moving away from the basket and going for a lot of 3-pointers, funny how the game evolves over time. 
human
True. I like those too though.  Have you heard about the inventor of basketball, James Naismith?
gpt
I have heard about him, I think he was a really good college coach as well if I'm correct. 
human
Not really.  Oddly enough, he's the only losing coach in the University of Kansas's history.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Oh, well I guess I am wrong then lol.  That is still impressive that he created the game though!
human
Yes it is. The game is technical to if you think about it.  Everything is so precisely measured and such.
gpt
That is very true, did you ever hear about the court they have on the top floor of the US supreme court building?
human
*hands at sides* No, I didn't know they had one!
gpt
Yeah its nicknamed 'the highest court in the land' what makes me think is that I wonder how much $ has been bet on some of those games!
human
*relaxed posture* Lol! I never thought about that but I'm sure they have bet quite a bit!
gpt
*eyes widen* Do you know what the nickname of the New Zealand national basketball team name is?
human
I didn't even know New Zealand had a national basketball team!  I guess basketball is global.
gpt
Yeah they do, I think basketball is no longer the US game, even in the NBA some of the best players are foreign, my fav team has the most likely MVP this year and he's not from the US.  And the name of the New Zealand team is 'tall blacks'. 
human
*calm eyes* Sounds like New Zealand is not as stressed about offending people as the States are.  Speaking of the nba, do you like tim duncan?
gpt
No, I don't think they have that in mind, I think it has to do with the jersey colors honestly, I know the rugby team wears all white jerseys and their nickname is, 'the all whites'.  And yeah he was one of the greats, Spurs.
