Do you happen to enjoy basketball?
gpt
Yea I watch the NBA playoffs and March Madness, Arike Ogunbowale had a great game against Uconn and helped knock them out
human
Good. Do you remember Kareem Adul-Jabbar?
gpt
Yea, he played for the Lakers and I think for a couple other of the 30 teams in the NBA
human
*eyes widen* His dunk was so dominant that they banned the move in college basketball for over a decade!
gpt
That's nuts, I wonder if that or Shaq only making one 3 pointer in his career is more crazy
human
*takes a step forward* Wow! He's such a legend that I find that very surprising. 
gpt
Yea I guess Shaq is worse at 3 pointers than he is at free throws
human
Apparently. I find it very depressing that in 39 out of 50 states the highest paid state employees are college football or basketball coaches. 
gpt
Yea that's a shame, plus players leave college to soon, 60% of NBA players are broke five years after retirement 
human
*lips slightly parted* That's terrible. It happens  a lot to people that get rich quick. Poor money management. Are you familiar with Reggie Miller?
gpt
Yea, he played for the Indiana Pacers and I think he was in the highest grossing basketball movie of all time Space Jam
human
*eyes widen* Yes that's him. Well in high school he was always overshadowed by his sister who also played basketball. She broke 8 national records!
gpt
Yea his sister was an awesome player, I guess they're a basketball/sports family Like Ogunbowale's family who has a brother who plays for the Buccaneers
human
It does seem to run in the family in some cases. Peyton and Eli Manning are another example even though that's football. Did you knwo that Air Jordan's were banned in the NBA when they were released?
gpt
*takes a step back* No but I see them all the time now. Too bad Spencer Haywood choose $100,000 over a 10 percent stake in nike, those air jordans would make him a billionare now
human
Wow! Good decision on his part. Michael Jordan wore them when they were banned anyway and Nike paid his fines ha ha. 
gpt
*takes a step forward* I guess it worked out in the end, too bad Tim Duncan doesn't have a shoe, instead of joining the NBA right away he decided to finish college instead of earning more money
human
Education is important. I'm glad he was able to do both. Are you familiar with Allen Iverson?
gpt
Yea he use to be a pretty good player when he played with Philadelphia
