Hey there, happy New Year. 
gpt
Happy new year to you. Are you excited about the Spurs game on Monday?
human
*leans slightly forward* I am, I really enjoy Popovich as a coach, he brings a real energy to the game
gpt
Definitely. When you think of San Antonio, you always think of the Spurs. This is common knowledge for those who know or don't know basketball.
human
True, but lately it seems to be all about the Warriors, who were actually founded in Philadelphia in 1946. They've been so dominant as of late, it's hard to think of anyone else, especially with Seth Curry playing the way he does
gpt
They played the spurs recently, and the spurs won.
human
Yea that's true, but the Spurs seem to be changing. With three of Popvich's assistants possibly interviewing for head coaching jobs, and Parker aging (the guy is 36), they're going to be rebuilding possibly
gpt
Yeah, many say it's the end of an era for the Spurs. Manu Ginobili retired at the age of 41. I wonder who will pick parker up. 
human
Yea but they held off Father Time for a while. They shifted from Ginobli to Parker to Leonard, and won 5 titles along the way. So it's not like they haven't had success along the way.
gpt
There doesn't seem to be stability left in the team. Future may appear to be murky.
human
*laughs* At least they'll still have Popovich. He's been there for over 20 years, which is pretty rare in professional sports. 
gpt
Strategies still work, I guess. I wonder how much he gets paid. Do they get more than entertainers?
human
I mean Hugh Laurie got paid 700k per episode in House, so even if there was 20 episodes a year on that, which would be $14 mill a year. I'm not really sure how much NBA coaches make compared to that, but I doubt it's that high
gpt
*hands at sides* they aren't the athletes who can get endorsements like Air Jordan. I should investigate this on my free time.
human
That's true, I mean Allen Iverson signed a lifetime contract with rebook that paid him 800k a year until he's 55, at which point he'd get a final lump sum payment of $32,000,000
gpt
That's crazy. I wish I got 32M. I would have had to have started when I was a kid. Playing all through my life, and hope that I don't stray away or get injured. Beats NFL.
human
*relaxed posture* Yea no kidding, but even if you're not being injured, you've still got people telling you how to do your job. Physicists proved that shooting "Granny style" is the best technique to score points on the line. But that looks stupid, so nobody does it
gpt
And If i do become injured, I can become a coach! Win Win..
human
Then you can coach players like Lebron and Kyrie Irving, both former members of the Cleveland Cavs, and then win a championship and make a ton of money that way.
gpt
Yah. And they were two of three number one picks to have ever won a championship in the last 20 years. Just having 1 player isn't enough. It's a team sport!
