Hi, are you a basketball fan or player? I thought it was funny physicists proved "granny style" is the best technique for free throw shooting. I remember Rick  Berry used it and was the best shooter, but looked odd.
gpt
I don't play basketball, do you ? As a scientist, I would approve the granny style, it is the most efficient way to throw the ball. 
human
No, I lack height, coordination, speed and only dribble with one hand so it wasn't a sport for me. I do enjoy March Madness as I went to Kansas and they're usually winners early in the tournament. Funny Air Jordans were banned by the league, but Jordan himself wore them anyway. Nike couldn't have paid for that much press had they not banned them.
gpt
*hands at sides* Yeah, I never followed basketball much, but I remember that time everybody had a Chicago Bulls hat or jersey. Nike could not a picked a better spokesman.

What do you think of the idea of post-40 year old Kobe Bryant coming out of retirement to play with Lebron James on the Lakers. I think after 40 he'd be better off counting his money on the sideline, I doubt anything good would come of Kobe returning to the game at that age, just embarrassment and a quick re-retirement.
gpt
From my experience in hockey, it is never a good idea to come back from retirement. And it would not benefit Lebron. 
human
Are you a history buff? Interesting when Caesar invaded Britain he noted the local population bred chickens for what I assume was cock fighting instead of food. In the lean years they probably could have used the extra food.
gpt
I like history, as for breading chicken for fun, if you got bored, you could have fried chicken, it is always good. 
human
*leans forward* Humorous too, Ronald Reagan was rejected for a movie role  because he didn't look "presidential enough". I wonder what that producer thought in 1980?
gpt
But in the 50s, a president did not look like a movie star, therefore a movie could not have look like a president. It is more understandable if you take in account the time when it was said. 
human
Yes, I agree. With Eisenhower at the helm and a more conservative society, your right, standards were different. Can you believe Judge Judy is the second highest paid celebrity after Lebron. That gives one pause too.
gpt
Yeah, I would have thought it would be a movie star, it must be her stable income, how much episodes do you think she makes per year ?
human
I think it's $123,000 per episode, justice isn't cheap. Did you ever play Nintendo, it considered primitive because  only had 54 colors. I'll date myself but when I was young I played Pong on our old TV and it only had 2 colors.
gpt
Yeah I have played the NES, but I never thought it would be only 54 colors. I think  my imagination at the was used to improve the graphics. 
human
That good, expand the young mind and imagination, maybe they have too many colors today. I think on the flip side, Tim Duncan staying in school 2 years to graduate should be commended and a role model. Give the brief professional career and getting used to spending the big buck more pro athletes would benefit from that and a couple year's maturity might help them.
gpt
Do you what he studied ? But, you are right, I think every athletes would benefit form more maturity. I think too many young players lose their will to win once they have heir big contract. 
human
I don't know what he graduated in, but seems like a heady thing to do. Did you see where Bill Nye, "the science guy" got his break in entertainment winning a Steve Martin look alike contest, that ironic to me, I don't think he looks like Steve Martin and his show science based is about as far from comedian/actor as any on TV.
gpt
But does Bill Nye have any scientific diplomas ? I always thought of him as an actor in a scientific show. 
human
I think he does, not sure. The bow tie and his personal is kind of vaudeville to me but my kids thought it was entertaining and learned a few things so that's good. My kids like "Space Jam" too, I see where Lebron signed a new deal for a sequal, since they're now post college thankfully I think I'll miss that sequel.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Do you think it could be any good ?  I think, Lebron should stick to being a pro-athlete, few athletes are good actors. 
human
I have no idea, at least in Cartoon animation, they don't have to really "act". Voice over a cartoon character is the least acting possible. Thanks for the discussion. I enjoyed it.
gpt
*smiles* Me too, have a good afternoon.
