Hello. Do you know much about basketball?
gpt
*calm eyes* I do its a team sport which commonly has 5 players per team. Shoot a basketball into a defenders hoop
human
I've always been fascinated by the showmanship of the game. Like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's dunking. Of course that was banned for years before coming back. 
gpt
*relaxed posture* He was very dominate with dunking but glad they changed their mind. Think about shaq trying to shoot all the time
human
*tilts head* Very true. I wonder if the showmanship affects the pay for them. I'm sure the winning records of the team affects the coaches pay.

I am sure they can be more marketable. Did you know vasectomy rates will be increasing this month due to march madness?
human
What?! How in the world is there a connection between basketball and vasectomies?
gpt
Men use the time to recover to watch basketball. Talk about madness!
human
Ah well I guess that makes sense in a way. I'm surprised no one has figured out a way to market that through some sort of commercial during the lead up to the games.

Athletes should really get financial advisors. 5 years after retirement 60% of players are broke
human
*eyes downcast* That's really sad. Honestly though the players that don't get the huge endorsements like Allen Iverson or Micheal Jordan don't make a ton of money.

There was a guy named Spencer Haywood who made the mistake of choosing 100k over a 10% stake in Nike. It would be worth 8.62 billion today
human
*hands at sides* I would be kicking myself for years if that happened. Nike knows what they are doing though. I mean look how they paid Jordan's fines so he could wear them every game.

Really good marketing. Speaking of shoes there are 17 different ways to tie them
human
Hmm I wonder if that includes how you lace them too. I don't wear many shoes with laces. It is more cowboy boots and much boots here which can be quite spendy because of functionality. 
gpt
Some boots are even designed for specific purposes like mountaineering or skiing
human
Ski boots that are fitted properly can run you hundreds of dollars. Seems a bit silly to spend that much on a boot you can only do one thing in. 
gpt
How do you feel about designer shoes? They can sell for hundreds if not thousands
human
*curls lip* Honestly I think they are really silly. The fact that a shoe can sell for hundreds more because of a different leather and a red bottom makes me sad for society and its consumerism. 
gpt
There is a wizard of oz themed shoe that actually guides you home when you click the heels together using GPS. I wonder how pricey those are
human
*squints eyes* I'm guessing in the thousands at least. Can you imagine trying to walk in something like that?
gpt
*hands at sides* It would be fun exploring using them. Nice chatting with you have a nice day!
