Hi, are you a basketball fan?
gpt
*smiles* I like to watch when I can. I like basketball themed movies too, like Space Jam.
human
I've never seen it. Did you know that the inventor of basketball was the only losing coach at Univ of Kansas? So sad!
gpt
Haha, I would totally have changed the rules in my favor.
human
I know right? The US Supreme Court has a basketball court on the top floor that they call the "highest court in the land." 
gpt
I would love to see that! So both volleyball and basketball were invented at the YMCA. I wonder, did the inventor of basketball start out there?
human
Not sure but I love that physicists have proven that shooting "granny style" is the best technique to consistently score points on the line. That is awesome!
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Haha, I would totally watch more basketball if they did that. Maybe Shaq would have better luck if he tried that. He only has one recorded 3 point score throughout his whole basketball career.
human
Poor guy! I like Kareem's dunk a lot too though.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I like the Harlem Globetrotter's tricks. The Washington Generals have played against them 13000 times but have only won 6 games.
human
Whoa that's a lot of playing time. I wonder how much money they make? NBA players are the best paid athletes by average annual salary.
gpt
*shoulders droop* Unfortunately, five years after retiring, 60 percent of players are broke. They do not manage their money well.
human
Really? Wow. In 39 of 50 states the highest paid state employee is either a college basketball or football coach.
gpt
NFL players also have the same issue. 78 percent of nfl players are bankrupt or under some kind of financial stress five years after retiring.
human
*leans forward* I guess that's why they do endorsements with different brands. Allen Iverson signed a lifetime contract with Reebok.
gpt
NBA legend Spencer Haywood was offered a stake in Nike but chose $100,000 instead. If he took the stake, he would have 8.62 billion!
human
Yikes! I think it's absolutely nuts that air jordans were banned by the nba but Jordan wears them anyway and Nike just pays the fine each game. 
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Haha, well, Jordans are pretty cool. Did they ever get unbanned?
human
I don't think so. Banned since their introduction. The NBA don't play! LOL
gpt
Haha, they fine for some interesting things. One coach was fined for sayig the NBA shouldn't be playing games on Christmas.
