*laughs* I really enjoyed the games the NBA televised, they had to cater to their big markets for ratings.
gpt
I find the NBA interesting. Are you familiar with Tim Duncan?
human
Yes, I watched him play a long time for the Spurs. He's one of the most underappreciated players because he was such a laid back personality.
gpt
He is. He valued his education. He turned down joining the NBA immediately to finish college.
human
*calm eyes* He definitely joined the league at a time when education had a higher value than getting drafted as soon as possible.
gpt
*tenses body* Good for him. There was an NBA coach (Stan Van Gundry) who was fined for saying that the NBA should not have games on Christmas day. What a ridiculous reason for a fine. 
human
I think there a lot of fines handed out by the NBA that people would categorize as ridiculous. Anthony Davis was recently fined for saying he wants to be traded.
gpt
That's also ridiculous. Do you happen to enjoy jazz music?
human
I have not listened to jazz music that much to know if I'm a fan or not. That being said, I would not be opposed to listening to it, in fact I am traveling to New Orleans soon.
gpt
I've always wanted to go there. Have a great time! Did you know that Tupac Shakur went to the Baltimore School of Arts to study ballet, acting, poetry, and jazz?! I was shocked to learn that. 
human
*raises eyebrows* It's almost as fun to learn as Clint Eastwood being an accomplished musician.
gpt
That's strange to me also. The Beatles were knocked off the top of the Billboard charts after three months by Louis Armstrong. 
human
Sometimes it's easy to forget that they were making music around the same time. Their different styles make them feel a lot farther apart.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I agree. I would not have guessed they were that active at the same time. Did you know that Dizzy Gillespie ran in the 1964 presidential race?!
human
That's another fun fact I did not know, I would be curious to see how many votes he received!
gpt
*eyes widen* Me too! He filled his cabinet with all of the biggest names in jazz. What a strange thing that had to be to witness. 
human
*eyes widen* If anything that might have been one of the most talented cabinets ever assembled.
gpt
I agree. Off subject but do you watch a lot of television? I know I watch way too much. 
human
I think that I probably watch too much as well, I should really cut back.
gpt
Were you aware that Weekend Update debuted on the first episode of SNL and is their longest running skit?
human
Yes, I have been a big fan of that show for quite some time and my father showed me older episodes and skits.
gpt
A lot of the old skits are amazing. They hold up well.
