Are you a fan of the NBA by chance?
gpt
I'm a mild Celtics fan, I follow college basketball a lot more.
human
Celtics have a long history. Are you familiar with Allen Iverson?
gpt
As I said, I follow them mildly. Actually Kyrie Irving is the only player I know on this year's team.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Well Iverson signed an amazing deal. He has a lifetime endorsement with Reebok. It pays him $800,000 per year until age 55 and then a lump sum of $32,000,000!
gpt
Wow, that a lot of money. The reading mentioned that NBA players are the best paid professional athletes on average.
human
I had heard that as well. Did you know that Air Jordan's were banned in the NBA when introduced?
gpt
No I didn't, I was also surprised that 2 years after retirement 78% of the NFL players were bankrupt/stress and 5 years later 60% were bankrupt/stress.
human
It seems that people that get rich quick and mismanage their money. By the way Joran wore the shoes anyway and Nike paid his fines. 
gpt
That's funny, I guess when someone's paying your fines they're not really fines. I was surprised at Lebron photographic memory too.
human
He is an interesting man. I hear he's going to be in the Space Jam sequel. 
gpt
*smiles* Yes he is, I don't know why he's so hated. He did go back to Cleveland after Miami. Seems to be a thing, best NBA player in Space Jam movies.
human
Cleveland needs the economic help of him being there so I'm sure that's why. It does seem to be a trend. Apparently he is also the second highest paid celebrity. 
gpt
Yes, hard to argue with that if you live in Cleveland. I thought it was funny about Spenser Haywood's 10% stake in Nike. He'd be a billionaire today, that would be crazy.
human
*takes a step back* That would have been a great investment to get in on. By the way, shockingly Judge Judy was the highest paid celebrity above James!
gpt
That is shocking, I don't watch the good Judge either but can't believe she paid that much. Funny Steph Curry didn't get college scholarships, he's the best shooter in the league a few years running now.
human
That is strange. I know that his name is Wardell but he goes by Stephen instead, I didn't know that!
gpt
*laughs* Haha, yes, I agree.  I didn't know that either. He certainly doesn't advertise that, it get used much or announcer mention it.
human
*takes a step forward* I can understand why. Apparently it's a good town to be a basketball player because both Curry and James were born in Akron, OH. 
gpt
Wow I didn't know that. I live near Boston and drive back to my parents in the Midwest a few times a year. Akron is the worst roads on the 1000 miles drive. I hear James puts a lot of money back into Akron too, which is a good thing.
