Are you a basketball fan?
gpt
I watch some now and again
human
It's a pretty lucrative position, evidently. Even a college basketball coach is one of the highest paid state employees of 39 out of 50 states.
gpt
*calm eyes* That's crazy.  LeBron isnt doing too bad either.  90 million dollar deal from Nike.
human
Haha, yeah. He was right not to take that deal Reebok made him when he was 18 for only $10 million.
gpt
I would jump at that now.  But I wouldnt be gettin 90 mil from Nike either.  
human
Reebok offered Allen Iverson a pretty sweet deal. He got $800k a year until he's 55, then he gets $32 million.
gpt
Man these stars getting all these crazy deals.  Lebrons high school games tickets would go for $100
human
*calm eyes* He does some good, too, though. He was able to raise $6 mil for charity.
gpt
Wasnt that from the decision?
human
I believe so, though I don't know what that means. I didn't realize Warner Bros. signed a contract with James to make a Space Jam sequel! That will make a lot of millenials and Gen Xers very happy.
gpt
I do remember that first version with MJ
human
Yeah, Michael Jordan is a legend. He regularly wore his Air Jordans, despite them being banned by the NBA.
gpt
That's because Nike paid the fines.  Id say theyve got their money back from that,
human
Definitely. I wonder if Tim Duncan has made back the money he lost by staying in college instead of going directly to the NBA?
gpt
Probably over time he has, he was a pretty successful player.
human
Even without shooting "granny style", which physicists have proved is the best way to consistently shoot a free throw.
gpt
I wish some players would use that method.  Theyd be more succesful.  Like Shaq
human
Yeah, but most players refuse to do it because it looks stupid.
gpt
Theyd rather dunk, it looks far cooler.
