*smiles* Do you follow the NBA?  I used to shoot granny style as a kid, but apparently it is the best technique to shoot and score on the line.  Did you play as a child?
gpt
I don't follow the NBA that much but enjoy it when I do watch. I did play as a child. How about you?
human
*takes a step back* Just a little.  I remember Air Jordan's.  Everyone wanted them in elementary school.  The NBA banned them but Nike paid Jordan's fine to wear them
gpt
Speaking of sports brands, Lebron James rejected a $10 million dollar sponsorship offer from Reebok when he was 18. He was right as less than a year later, Nike offered him $90 million.
human
I wonder if he knew something?  Iverson got quite a bit from Reebok.  $800,000 per year to age 55 then $32,000,000
gpt
*eyes widen* Sounds like a pretty sweet retirement! Lebron James not only makes millions for himself. He also raises for charity. He raised six million dollars by televising "the decision"
human
That's great!  I wonder if Judge Judy donates.  She makes $123,000 per episode.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I heard she is the highest paid celebrity after Lebron James.
human
*body relaxes* Did you watch Space Jam?  Cute movie with Jordan.  Now they signed a deal with Lebron James for a sequel.
gpt
*takes a step forward* I did watch it when I was little. I would love to see the sequel, with another basketball great! Lebron is regarded by some as the greatest player of all time. I feel like I used to hear that about Jordan.
human
*hands at sides* Basketball is very popular I'm sure due to both of their accomplishments.
gpt
I think the dunk made basketball very popular as well. Kareen Abdul-Jabbar's frequent use of the dunk got it banned for college basketball for more than ten years!
human
*takes a step forward* The inventor of basketball actually is the only losing coach in University of Kansas' history.  Luckily he has an invention to be remembered for.
gpt
Well, that's odd. Speaking of coaching, it can be quite lucrative. In 39 out of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is a college football or basketball coach.
human
Even the Supreme Court has a basketball court on their top floor called the "highest court in the land"
gpt
*takes a step back* That would be an awesome place to play!
human
*body relaxes* I guess some of those who are in Senate a while could really play granny style.
gpt
*laughs* That's funny. I mean, it has been proven to be the best technique to score points constantly. I guess NBA players are just afraid of how they would look.
human
They might not get million dollar sneaker deals if they do that.
gpt
I think it'd be funny. Maybe I'd watch more games. Haha.
