Hi do you like basketball? Did you know they are making a Space Jam 2 with LeBron James?
gpt
I have heard. i guess that it was time for a sequel. lebron is the perfect guy for it.
human
*takes a step forward* When LeBron played basketball in high school his games would attract over 1750 attendees and they would charge tickets between 100-120 dollars.
gpt
I wonder if he got any of that money or if it just went to the school. he is rich now, but then, i wonder if he needed it.
human
*opens mouth slightly* He certainly is very rich. He turned down a $10 million dollar offer from Reebok when 18. When asked why he said he though Nike or Adidas would offer more. Sure enough less than a year later he signed a $90 million deal with Nike.
gpt
I bet he could have waited another year and gotten even more LOL it is ok because he would make even more money later.
human
I find it very interesting that the celebrity that makes the most money after LeBron James is Judge Judy.
gpt
she is a great celebrity. she has a sass and attitude and knows how to put people in their place. she is great.
human
*leans slightly forward* She makes $123,000 per episode. I think she deserves it. She is smart, honest and very entertaining.
gpt
she sure is. she cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of the matter. I dont get to watch her much, but she sure can run a court room.
human
*leans slightly forward* Well even though LeBron James is very rich, he raised 6 million dollars for charity.
gpt
*hands at sides* he is a generous guy off the court. he has donated money to help kids get a college education. i wish other athletes did the same thing.
human
*eyes widen* That is really nice. I hope NBA player Allen Iverson donated some of his money. He signed a contract that would pay him $800,000 a year until he is 55 and then receives a final lump sum of 32 million.
gpt
that is amazing. he just needs to survive to the age of 55. then he can start his own shoe company LOL
human
Did you know the Air Jordan's were banned but Jordan wore them anyway as Nike was willing to pay the fine for each game.
gpt
Nike made a ton of money on the marketing and advertising when jordan stepped on the court. it was worth it
human
Did you know that physicists proved that shooting "granny style" is the best technique to score points?
gpt
i believe it. the underhanded style is gentler. it looks goofy though. rick barry used to shoot that way.
human
*body relaxes* That is great. Especially if it works it is the smart thing to do. Speaking of smart Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs sacrificed money and stayed in college instead of going directly to the NBA.
gpt
i would not have done that. i would have gone straight into the nba and taken the cash. anyway, great chat!
