Hey how are you, do you watch the NBA at all?
gpt
*laughs* I'm a big fan!  One of my all time favorite players is Reggie Miller.
human
*takes a step forward* Him and his sister are so good, Cheryl had 105 points in a game before.
gpt
Heard that story.  Make me laugh.  He thought he was a big shot for scoring 40 points!  Go sis!  I'm also a big Tim Duncan fan.  How about you?  Any fave players?
human
Tim Duncan is so good, I'm a huge Spurs fan and former Spurs, like Kawhi. Timmy would have had so many records if he didn't stay in college all 4 years.
gpt
Right?!? But I gotta give Timmy props for finishing school.  Think he promised his mom he'd finish.  I'm still a little salty about Kawhi though.  I'm also not a big fan of LeBron.  How about you?
human
*eyes widen* Got to do what's best for you and that is how Kawhi felt, it's unfortunate but I can't hate at all. I love LeBron, basketball aside, he's done so much for the good of people in this country.
gpt
Yeah.  You're right.  Just didn't think it was handled well.  Think my distaste for LeBron stems from when he was starting out.  Came off real cocky.  Did you know he rejected a $10 mil offer from Reebok because he said he was waiting for a bigger deal?
human
Yah I can definitely see that, but, he was 18 years old being called the king, it'd be hard not to be cocky. He did raise 6 million during the decision for charity.
gpt
Yeah, I have to reluctantly admit the man is good.  And I do have to admit he's done a lot of charity work.  I think that makes me dislike him less than Jordan.  (Sorry if you're a Jordan fan!)  Still not seeing LeBron in the new Space Jam though.
human
*takes a step back* I really dislike Jordan, seems like a pretty terrible person. I heard LeBron is about to be a billionaire.
gpt
Wow.  With that kind of money, I hope he keeps up his charity work.  Out of curiosity, would you know how many times he's been voted into the All Star Games?
human
I'm not sure, I think it's been every year he has been in the league minus his rookie year, so maybe 14?
gpt
That sounds about right.  Ever vote for the all stars?  Never feel like the most deserving get chosen. 
human
I haven't yet, have you ? I think it is through text now right?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Wow really?  That's a different way of collecting votes. It's been a while since I voted.  Last time I did it was on the NBA website.  It's a popularity vote i guess.  I like other stats like defensive player of the year.  Based on more stats but is that also voted on by sports writers?
human
*takes a step forward* I am not really sure to be honest, I'm sure it is a mix of the two. Astronauts vote from space, would never have guessed.
gpt
That's pretty cool.  Can't think of any Russian NBA players of the top of my head.  Do you know if there's an international basketball federation?  I know there are a lot of international teams but wasn't sure if there was an organization
human
I did not know that, is it like Fifa? Not many Russian players, but lots of former block players, Kristaps, Luka, Peja Stojokavich, etc.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Ah, you're right.  Forgot about them.  Just did a quick search and I think there's an org called FIBA, also know as the International Basketball Federation.  Wonder if that includes China.  Think a lot of players are heading there.
