Hello there, do you follow basketball much?
gpt
Not much, but I do enjoy the game. You?
human
Yeah I used to play a lot but now just watch.  My favorite team is doing really good too.
gpt
*shoulders droop* I hope you are better off than most NBA and NFL players after they stop playing... More than half are either broke or bankrupt!
human
I think I heard about that.  It sounds like the average earnings of a good paying job are more since the careers are short. 
gpt
Yeah. That's why it was so smart for Tim Duncan to stay in college four years rather than jump early to the NBA. Things worked out well for him with the spurrs, but many players get injured or let go and they have no degree to fall back on...
human
*leans forward* That is very true.  The smart ones get endorsements if they can like Iverson. 
gpt
*tilts head* That is an aberration. Nobody else gets a sweet deal like him. In fact, his deal means nearly a million per year for 30 years, and then a $32 mil lump payout when he turns 55, and those are dollars that are NOT in circulation for other players to get endorsements.
human
Yeah isn't that wild, I bet Reebok thought they were signing the next Jordan, which obviously they weren't. 
gpt
*laughs* Imagine how Spencer Hayward must feel. Back in the day he was offered a 10% stake in Nike and he turned it down for a mere $100k  His stake would be worth almost a billion dollar today!
human
Holy crap I never heard about that, what a crazy deal! Very interesting reading about those missed deals. 
gpt
Hey, did you hear that Golden State is making a move to San Fran in 2019?
human
No I didn't hear that either, that is pretty wild as well.  They have been the most dominant team the last few years. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* And speaking of deals, did you know that Curry, arguably the star of the team, only gets the 4th highest salary?
human
I didn't know that, did you know that he was born in the same city as Lebron?
gpt
No. Talk about a shadow!  Poor Curry. He went to Nike to have a promo deal presentation, and Nike botched it so badly that he left and went somewhere else. The PowerPoint presentation made to him had mistakenly listed other players names on it instead of his... Epic fail!
human
That is a crazy story I never knew that, wow!  Yeah that was a total fail. 
gpt
*body relaxes* This, after he had the unfortunate situation in college, where NONE of the major conference schools offered him a scholarship. That might put a chip on his shoulder...
human
I'm sure he used that for motivation to get to where he is now, which is probably going to be the best shooter ever. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* Good think he has not made him bitter. He is part of a charity that donate mosquito nets to protect families in Africa.
