*laughs* Do you watch the NBA at all?
gpt
*hands at sides* I do from time to time! How about you?
human
*eyes brighten* I do watch it but not often. What is your favorite NBA team?
gpt
I'm not sure I really have a favorite team, I'm more interested in players and trivia. What about you?
human
I'm a casual Celtics fan but they are not doing that well. Do you happen to know how many teams are in the NBA? 
gpt
I want to say something like 30 teams? The NBA is actually one of four of the professional major sports leagues in the US and Canada.
human
*body relaxes* Yes. You're correct, 29 of those teams are in the United States and 1 in Canada.
gpt
Did you know the NBA has the world's highest paid athletes by avg annual salary per player?
human
*opens mouth slightly* I didn't know this. I thought that applied to Major League Baseball athletes.
gpt
I guess not anymore. I wonder if they're factoring in the insane shoe contracts basketball athletes seem to get more of than other athletes?
human
That one is pretty accurate and especially when you're talking about Allen Iverson that signed a lifetime contract with Reebok that will pay him $800,000 a year.
gpt
*hands at sides* I heard about that! All the way until he 55, then he gets a HUGE lump sum! Dude is set for life!
human
You're correct!!! I read somewhere that he will get $32,000,000 when he reaches that age that you just mentioned.
gpt
Haha, yeah, I think he'll be just fine in life! Tim Duncan actually sacrificed a lot of money by staying in college, believe it or not.
human
Oh! That is great for Tim Duncan and I'm glad that he did that and it paid of for him because he played for the San Antonio Spurs for many years.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Well, no, it's not good for him. He lost out on millions in contracts by staying in school instead of going directly into the NBA.
human
I agree part with you on this point. You're correct that initially he lost millions in endorsement contracts but he made those millions back and then some by playing for the Spurs.
gpt
Oh, for sure, but I think the argument would be that he may not be able to recover the millions he lost considering the years he sacrificed by staying in school. Those years could've been an extra three or four years at the end of his career.
human
You're right on this point. Do you happen to know when NBA league was founded?
gpt
Back in the 40s, oddly recent! Well, it's been fun chatting with you!
human
*leans slightly forward* Thanks. It was great chatting with you as well. Thanks
gpt
Cheers!
