Hi, how are you today?
gpt
Very good. How about you?
human
I'm great. Do you follow basketball at all?
gpt
A little. I don't watch many games. Do you know much about it? I would love to learn more since I don't quite understand some things about it. 
human
What I see is a lot of money. NBA players are the highest paid athletes on average. 
gpt
That seems to make sense. I wonder if many hold onto it though. There seems to be a lot of fines in pro sports. Do you know how many teams are in the NBA?
human
*hands at sides* I think there are about 30. I haven't checked in a while. The draw to go pro is strong because of the earnings. I would not have done what Tim Duncan did: sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.
gpt
I think that was really smart on his part. A career in pro sports only lasts for so long and unless you become a household name endorsements aren't guaranteed. It becomes necessary to have a backup plan and he went about it in a good way. 
human
*relaxed posture* If he got injured in college, he might never have a chance to play for money. But I bet he could get a college education later on. I personally wouldn't roll the dice. 
gpt
*squints eyes* I think everyone always plans to go back to college but few really go. I think the podcast some guys made of his decisions sensationalized the whole thing. 
human
Seeing how much money is at stake, I understand the interest. Allen Iverson signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Reebok for $800,000 a year until he reaches age 55. Not everyone gets that of course, but the chance to do so is very tempting.
gpt
*clenches fists* Money is always going to be a tempting motivator especially since most of these players are so young. At that age you think you are invincible and millions of dollars are starting to seem like a dream come true. 
human
Do you use Google a lot? It's an interesting company.
gpt
I use google all the time. I like their platforms. They seem to be a lot more innovative than apple. 
human
They are more innovative, but Apple understands luxury brand marketing. Google used goats to keep its lawns neat and clean. I can't imagine Apple doing that.
gpt
*calm eyes* Not really. Apple seems more concerned about appearances. I like that they have an unofficial slogan of Don't be evil. Seems like a good company motto. 
human
There are indispensable these days. When the search engine went down for five minutes in 2013, 40% of web traffic disappeared.
gpt
Wow. No wonder search engines like Bing are always trying to pair with popular sites and people to try and get their name out there.
human
They don't have a chance really. Bing tries, Microsoft tries. It's just not the same.
gpt
*laughs* Not even remotely. Google always has the best results when you are looking into something. Not to mention all their productivity apps. Google calendar is fantastic. 
human
I haven't used Google calendar. I'll have to take a look at it. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting!
gpt
Yes it has been quite enlightening. Hopefully we both learned quite a bit.
