Hi!  Do you follow basketball much?
gpt
Yes, both college and some pro. I watched the Duke, Grayson Allen drama play out over his college time. He had little respect for the rules and fair play
human
He didnt seem to take much responsibility for it either, nor care about that he was doing, didn't he?
gpt
Many of these kids are driven to compete by coaches and parent. The dream of the NCAA and the pro are a big goal for many. Shoe contract and endorsements are for the chosen few, but many think they have what it takes
human
That is true.  Many coaches are probably in the same boat.  39 our of 50 states have a coach as the highest paid state employee.
gpt
That is  crazy considering what tuition cost to the average student. Many kids are paying loans long after the players are gone. I know the players get scholarships but the big money for some is in the pros. 
human
It is kind of crazy, seeing as they aren't paying the people actually teaching students who will become productive members of society.  Id rather that money go to the people training the next doctors.
gpt
Agreed, It would be nice to see the NBA fund the coaches and player expenses since they receive the benefit of the college training. Most are one and done unlike Tim Duncan who stayed all four years to get his degree.
human
He was smart, he made the most out of his time.  Most players go broke with in 5 years. 
gpt
*eyes widen* True, I think all colleges must be required to honor the scholarship for these kids if the pros dont work out. They are the highest paid athletes in the NBA but once the money is gone then what
human
Its like leaving for a job opportunity and being like Oh I made a mistake and expecting them to take you back.  That is kind of ridiculous in my opinion.  We really cater to the egos of the players.  Like even though shooting "granny style" is more efficient, they wont do it because of how it looks.
gpt
I did see a kid at a college game recently shoot granny style, it was strange looking but it worked! guess it proved the point that it is the best way. Kind of like the dunk being outlawed in college back in the day
human
*calm eyes* I'm glad the allowed it back in, just because Abdul-Jabbar was so good at it doesnt mean that it should have been outlawed.
gpt
The dunk is the shot that gets the crowd going! I am guessing they thought it was a safety issue back then. Always like to see the short point guard surprises someone with a dunk.
human
I think it is cool that Cheryl Miller scored 105 points in one game, and he brother Reggie scored 40 and was bragging about it.
gpt
That is crazy , she must have taken all the shots. Talented family for sure
human
*lips slightly parted* It is strange that the creator of the sport, Naismith was the only losing coach in the university of kansas' history.
gpt
Such a rich history and the only loser, but he gave us the game so I guess its OK, He created the game but the supreme court have a court in top of the building making it the highers court in the land!
human
I think they probably really enjoy that novel play on words.  lol
gpt
Looking at some of them I seriously doubt if that court gets much use by the justices!
human
Probably not, but that would be a game I would certainly pay to see.  
gpt
*calm eyes* Agreed. At least they can watch college and NBA on the weekends. Holly they can watch Duke get beat during march madness!
human
You never know.  Tournament time is the best!  Its been nice chatting but Ive got to go.
gpt
*hands at sides* Good Chat
