Good Morning!  Basketball is my 3rd favorite sport, but at least March Madness and the NBA playoffs are coming up!
gpt
Good morning!  March madness should be good this year.  Did you know that the dunk shot was banned from college basketball for over ten years?
human
*opens mouth slightly* I think the dunk being banned had more to do with the dunker - Kareem, than the shot/technique.  He was so dominate and innovative that it created an unfair advantage/balance 
gpt
*calm eyes* You could be right about that.  Still, to ban it for ten years?  Why not just ban it until he graduates?
human
Like the NCAA admits it was wrong with anything in a timely manner?!?!?!  Kinda like why the federal government thinks pot is as dangerous as heroin...
gpt
good point.  thinking of government, did you know that the supreme court has a basketball court at the top of their building?
human
The Highest Court in the Land!  (No pot pun intended)  Although, I don't see RBG crossing Clarence Thomas over and dunking on him!
gpt
*calm eyes* I find it hard to picture them playing at all to be honest!  
human
*opens mouth slightly* For sure!  I also find it hard to fathom that Jim Naismith, the inventor of Basketball had a losing record KU - he invented the game!
gpt
*calm eyes* Oh, I know what you mean there! I can't see how you can invent a game and then not be any good at it!
human
Our local NBA team here in Phoenix is a dumpster fire - do you have a favorite team and how are they doing this season?
gpt
I like the San Antonio Spurs.  Did you know that Tim Duncan sacrificed money to stay in school instead of going straight to the NBA?
human
*takes a step back* I remember that - it was a promise to him mom/family to finish college right?  Amazing how the Spurs got The Admiral and then Duncan in succession 
gpt
True.There are some good people that are athletes out there.  In the NFL there is a wide receiver that leaves his cleats on the field after every game to make people away of homeless people with no shoes.
human
*laughs* Pretty sure that was Steve Smith - great guy, fierce competitor, and didn't really want any attention for himself, just for his cause.
gpt
Yes it was.  With as many ballet shoes as dancers go through in a week, seems like they could do something like that too.
human
I knew some dancers in school and those ballet shoes, pointers, really messed their feet up!  Painful to see
gpt
I never thought about that.  I guess that's why they go through like 4 pair in a week.
human
*takes a step forward* That does not surprise me at all - not very durable, maybe there's a correlation there?  Pretty sure construction boots will last years and of course tennis shoes last a while
gpt
If shoes were made like they were 5000 years ago they'd all last.  Apparently 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes.
human
Oh man, I'd hate to get a whiff of a 5,000 y/o pair of sneakers!
gpt
*hands at sides* They'd definitely need some dry tea bags!
