Hello there, are you a fan of Lebron James?
gpt
Hi, how are you? I do like Lebron.
human
I am good thank you, did you know he rejected a $10 mill. offer from Reebok when he was 18?
gpt
He probably had a good agent that advised him to wait.$10 million right off the bat meant there was more waiting for him.
human
Yeah it for sure was the right move, I think he always had Nike in his mind. 
gpt
Nike would pay the most, I'm sure. They wanted Jordan, LeBron was the next Jordan really. No one else of that stature out there.
human
Yeah I agree with you there, and I think Reebok thought they were signing the next Jordan when they paid Iverson all that money.
gpt
Yes, the payout at age 55 is enormous. I guess Reebok thought it would boost marketing, but why so much money for one guy?
human
That i don't know, but like I said I think they thought they were getting a lifetime seller of shoes like Jordan.
gpt
True. I think it's all a crap shoot. Something bad could happen and it's just wasted money. Few players get that kind of money anyway.
human
Yeah that is true, it for is a chance on a player.  Did you know that Reggie Miller's sister played pro as well?
gpt
She played pro? Did she get any endorsement? I didn't know that Reggie had a sister.
human
*tilts head* Yeah she was really good as well.  I know she scored like 105 points in a high school game once!
gpt
Wow. What a talent! She should get an endorsement. She must be just as good as her brother.
human
Yeah she should have been the one Reebok went after!
gpt
LOL. True. People would follow her. I think girls would like to have role models.
human
Yeah that is true, did you know that Tim Duncan could have gone directly into the league but stayed 4 years in college?
gpt
I would not have gone to college. Too many risks. Injury. Get the money, I say!
human
That is true, there is always the risk of a major injury or something like that. 
gpt
It is so hard to go pro. I would not waste the opportunity. You can always go to college.
