Hi how's it going? Do you like the NBA? Currently there are 30 teams
gpt
Hello,  I like basketball but I do not keep up with it.  These are some interesting facts though! Tim duncan of the san antonio spurs sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the nba.
human
Yea, that's crazy! NBA players have the highest average salary in sports
gpt
This is a disappointing fact: Two years after retirement, 78% of nfl players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress. in the nba, five years after retirement 60% of players are broke.
human
That's pretty ironic that so many NBA players end up broke
gpt
I know right,  so much money just all gone. 
human
Yea, some have shoe endorsements like Allen IVerson though
gpt
*takes a step back* Roughly 30 years ago, nba legend spencer haywood chose $100,000 upfront over a 10% stake in nike. had he accepted the original offer, his holdings in nike would be worth a whopping $8.62 billion.

 Iverson makes 800,000 a year on his contract until he's 55, then he'll get 32,000,000
gpt
That is an incredible deal,  most people don't even play at that age.  Hopefully he doesn't go broke after retiring. Nike's pitch to stephen curry was so poorly executed that one of the powerpoint slides still had kevin durant's name on it from a previous presentation. it was after this that curry went on to sign with under armour.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Lol, I'd be mad if that happened to me, especially since Curry was the 2015 mvp
gpt
Right! Seth curry and mychel thompson, brothers of steph curry and klay thompson, played in the back court together on the santa cruz warriors in 2013, while steph and klay did the same on the golden state warriors
human
I didn't know that. When he won the 2015 mvp he was only the 5th highest paid player on his team
gpt
*relaxed posture* wow. Steph curry from the golden state warriors basketball team plays part in a foundation that donates mosquito nets to protect families in africa. for each 3 pointer he makes 3 nets get donated.
human
Nice. Did you know his actual first name is Wardell
gpt
yeah I did.  Didn't expect that. Steph curry did not receive any college scholarship offers from a major conference school, and wanted to play at virginia tech.
human
*calm eyes* Wow, that's shocking. Cury and Lebron were both born in Akron
gpt
*takes a step back* Awesome!  Did you know Air travel is up to 10% slower than it was in the 1960s in order to save on fuel costs
human
No, I had no clue, I guess the dutch better hurry up creating a bus that can travel 160mph
gpt
yeah that would be convienient. During the age of discovery, ships released rabbits onto islands to provide a future food source for other travelers
