Are you a fan of the NBA?
gpt
Hi, Yes. The Lakers are my favorite team. You?
human
I am interested in the sport. Are you familiar with Reggie Miller?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Yes, Hall of Famer! Great player in his day for the knicks.
human
His sister overshadowed him in basketball in high school. She broke 8 national records!
gpt
*takes a step back* Wow I didn't know that. I really only saw him play towards the tail end of his nba career. That's crazy!
human
What a talented family. How about Allen Iverson. Are you familiar with him?
gpt
Yes, I would say Miller was a better player but Iverson has more fame for whatever reason.
human
Did you hear about his huge endorsement deal with Reebok?
gpt
I see him in a lot of commercials and magazine advertisements. 
human
He gets $800,000 a year until age 55 and then a lump sum of $32,000,000!
gpt
*takes a step forward* That's crazy. That's LeBron James money and hes nowhere near that level of player.
human
I agree. Did you know that granny style has been proven to be the best way to score points on the line?
gpt
I have heard that before, but I've never once seen a professional player shoot that way. Not even in an all star or exhibition game.
human
They refuse to because they think it makes them look stupid. I would not personally care if it got me the points. 
gpt
Yeah you'd think they are playing to win and everything else is secondary. I guess they have to look cool if they want Allen Iverson level sponsorship deals.
human
Ha ha, yes. Did you also know that Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA when introduced?
gpt
I remember when they came out. Michael wore them anyway and the NBA fined him every single game.
human
He did but it had no effect on him. Nike paid his fines!
gpt
That's good they did. I'm sure they more then made it up for the fines with marketing. The nba was a lot less corporate back then. I still have an old pair of original air jordans. I wonder if they are worth money now?
