Hey did you ever watch the NBA I guess there are about 30 teams
gpt
Hello,  I dont really follow basketball.  I will watch it is the warriors are playing though. 
human
*raises eyebrows* Yeah I only watch the Pistons because I'm from Detroit haha. Interesting that the National Basketball Association only took on that name in 1949
gpt
No I never knew that
human
*lips slightly parted* Have you ever worn a pair of Air Jordans? I know they're expensive but they seem like they might be worth it
gpt
Yes I have one pair from like the 90's that I dont wear anymmore lol Did you ever wear any?
human
I've never worn it actually haha. How comfortable were they? I know that the NBA had banned them for a while
gpt
They are pretty comfy,  but I never played basketball in them,  more of just a fashion thing I got over real quick cuz jordans are expensive lol 
human
*raises eyebrows* Oh I see haha. Apparently the NBA banned them but Nike just kept paying the fee so that Jordan could keep wearing them. It definitely paid off
gpt
Thats really cool, i wonder how much those fines were lol probably cheaper than buying billboards and advertising fees lol 
human
Oh I totally agree. Did you hear that Tim Duncan did not go directly to the NBA. He stayed in school to get his degree. I definitely would have gone to the NBA immediately haha
gpt
*tilts head* lol maybe he just wanted a back up plan,  like in case he got injured or something.  It looks like it worked out great for him hes been playing forever,  I think he retired recently.
human
So interesting I didn't know that. Would you ever shoot a basketball granny style? That is by scientists been determined to be the most consistent way to shoot the ball
gpt
Hell yeah,  I use to do it when I was a kid a lot,  and I made it in more too lol Maybe thats why my nephews always beat me . 
human
Haha maybe they should bring back that style then. I just can't picture professional players using it but if it's the best way to shoot I think that they should haha
gpt
*tilts head* Maybe for free throws they should,  the whole point of the game is to get points and if that is more effective,  but if the ball is in play seems like a loss of rhythm running down the court and having to stop to shoot granny style lol 
human
*takes a step back* Oh I totally agree with you. You'd think with all that money they wouldn't care how they appear. They would just want to win
gpt
Right!  But no,  they have to look cool playing ball lol 
human
What do you think about when the NBA banned the dunk. Like how can you ban such an iconic shot
gpt
I think its a little unfair because thats the players talent,  and the other team should just find  a way to not give them the position to do it.  Then i think its just evening the playing field lol
