I was surprised to know that the average pay for a NBA player is the highest  for all professional sports. 
gpt
That's crazy I thought it was NFL.  I was surprised to know Reggie Miller's sister outscored him.
human
NBA has very lucrative contracts, Lebron James signed a 90 million contract with Nike at 19. 
gpt
That is nice to be that young.  Allen Iverson signed a lifetime contract with Reebok that expires at age 55 with a lump sum.  I couldn't imagine anywhere close to that kind of money.
human
*eyes brighten* Yeah, Iverson has  a 800 000 $ per year contract until he reaches 55. They must trust him to have good reputation all this time. 
gpt
Tim duncan sacrificed money to leave college early and got his 4 year degree.  That is smart and is crazy to say that I'm surprised by this fact.
human
If  he was sure to be drafted in the NBA, he would not have any money problem, even with a fraction of Lebron James contract.
gpt
The guy that invented basketball James Naismith is the only losing coach in Kansas's history.  I would think he would have the insight to win, wouldn't you?
human
Maybe he had to much confidence and would not learn from  other coaches. 
gpt
*leans forward* That could be the case because its  learning process and you have to be able to be humble as well.
human
Being the inventor of a sport, it must be frustrating seeing others doing better than you. 
gpt
Yes i would agree because they can probably see where improvements need to be made before you would be able to.
human
*sighs* It would be like if others had stolen you invention,  and made it better, rendering you useless. 
gpt
Did you know that the highest paid state employee in 39 states are college football or basketball coaches.
human
Basketball has very lucrative contracts, like Lebron James has, it is normal that the college basket is also lucrative.  
gpt
*eyes brighten* I know in the state I live in we have had the highest funded athletic programs in the country so I definitely believe the statement and I think they deserve it with all the fundraising they do.
human
Even Lebron gave to charity, he raised 6 million for charity with a TV special. 
gpt
That's awesome and speaks to his character that he will televise his decision to donate to charity.
human
He is quite popular, even the tickets for his high schools games were scalped to 100-120 $. 
gpt
*curls lip* I don't agree with that, kids should be able to attend the games and I know they don't have that kind of money.
human
I was commenting on his popularity not on the morality of scalping high school basketball tickets. But you are right. 
gpt
*leans forward* I understand I was just saying, he is extremely popular I just would want kids to be able to see and look up to positive individuals and see what they could possibly be if they focus and of course have some talent.
