Hello!  Are you a basketball fan?
gpt
Hey there I do like basketball. Do you think that Kobe Bryant should end his retirement and play basketball with LeBron James by the way?
human
I don't think so. I think Kobe wouldn't cut it.  He was pretty rough his last year in the league.  LeBron should try to win with Lonzo Ball.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes I think he would probably get blown out but it would be cool to see, what do you think about Tim Duncan staying in college instead of going into the NBA immediately?
human
It would be cool to see.  I'm sure they would play well together.  If they both were at the top of their games, hands down they would be awesome.  I tip my cap to him for passing up all that money to go to college.
gpt
Yep that was a brave thing to do. It's shocking that 80% of NFL players go bankrupt after retiring for only two years
human
*eyes brighten* Wow.  I don't know how they can burn through that money.  Ex-NBA player Allen Iverson will never have to worry about that after he signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Reebok.  He gets $800,000 a year until he reaches the age of 55 to where at that time he will receive a lump sum $32 million dollar payment.
gpt
That's very impressive! he'll never have to worry about money, do you think that NBA games should be on Christmas day? I don't think that the coach stan van Grundy should have been fined for suggesting that
human
*laughs* I don't mind them and kind of like it.  I agree he shouldn't have been fined.  But, at the same time I can see his point of view.  Him and the players would probably want to be home with their families.  Physicists proved that shooting granny style is the best technique to use at the free throw line. lol
gpt
That is really crazy. I want to see LeBron James and Kobe Bryant doing a granny shot shootout LOL
human
lol  LeBron signed a new deal for a "space jam" sequel.  Curious to see how that will hold up to Michael Jordan's original one.
gpt
Yes hopefully Michael Jordan makes a cameo in that movie. He is smart at business though. He rejected a 10 million dollar offer from Reebok only to accept a $90 mil dollar offer from Nike a year later
human
*eyes brighten* He was only 18 then I think?  When LeBron was in high school some of the games would attract 1750 fans and the tickets cost from $100 to $200.  
gpt
Crazy! People were wanting to pay for tickets to see him even back then, I think it's funny that people marked his posters down and sold them for $17.41, because that was the year that Benedict Arnold betrayed the United States LOL
human
lol  After the decision!  He raised 6 million dollars for charity by televising that.
gpt
*body relaxes* That was nice of them at least. He seems very smart too, he has a photographic memory apparently and can remember exact in game scenarios
human
*leans slightly forward* I believe that.  Switching topics....Did you ever have the Nintendo system that could only display 54 colors?
gpt
No I didn't know that. I also didn't know that the e in Chuck-E-Cheese stood for entertainment LOL that's really weird
human
I never knew that!  Interesting!  Bill Nye the science guy got his big break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.  
gpt
*takes a step back* That is impressive! Did you ever hear about the famous Atari video game landfill? Apparently there's a Canadian company that will be Excavating it and then creating a documentary about it
