Hi, do you think that President Trump is the richest one ever?
gpt
Trump? Who knows? Has anyone seen his tax returns?  Without that info, I would have to guess that JFK was richest. Am I right?
human
*eyes widen* Yes, JFK was one of the top three richest presidents. I heard that Washington and Jefferson were the other two.
gpt
Nice! But if Presidents are so rich, why don't they stay in the guest house instead of the White House? After all, it is bigger!
human
Yeah, one would think! I guess its the prestige rather than all that space!  Did you know that the President of Indonesia released three pop albums while he was in office?  He either needed money to build his guest house or his job doesn't pay that much.
gpt
*smiles* Or he is a better singer than politician?  You know, until 1805, the runner up in the election for President autiomatically became VP. But that was back when both candidates were nationalists and had the interests of the US at heart.. 
human
I agree, totally. back in the 1800's I think it was such an honor to become president of this country that the politicians worked more closely together. The role of the president is supposed to be prominent and encompassing. But, now-a-days, they attacj each other on every front. It's a pity, really.

They need a good humbling!  I heard a story about NBA hall-of-famer, Reggie Miller, and how he was humbled. As it turns out, he was coming home after a great performance and chose to brag to his family about his 40-pt game. As it turned out, his sister ad just scored 105 pts in her game, breaking 8 national records. That is humbling!
human
Yeah, he probably needed that wake-up call!  Also, did you know that physicists proved that shooting a basketball "granny style" is the best way to score points on the line but that the NBA players won't do it because it looks so stupid?
gpt
*curls lip* They are all so focused on money and fame now.  Have you seen the kind of money they make with endorsement deals? Iverson pockets $800k per year and will get a $32 milllion payout at age 55. Outlandish!
human
Wow, that's a lot of money! Did you know that Kareen Abdul-Jabbar's constant use of the dunk shot got it banned from college basketball for over a decade now?
gpt
Well, he was awesome!  Reminds me alot of Tim Duncan of the Spurrs, who made the choice to stay in college for 4 years instead of jumping for dollars.
human
Tim Duncan sounds like he loved going to school! Talk about jumping for dollars, did you know that in 39 out of 50 states that the highest paid state employee is either a basketball or a football coach? That's amazing, I didn't think they made that much money!
gpt
I wonder how much James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, I wonder how much he made?  He was the only losing coach Univ of Kansas ever had...
human
Hum, sounds like a good question. Another funny thing is that the US Supreme Court building has a basketball court on the top floor and they call it the "highest court in the land". Now that's funny!
gpt
*laughs* I wonder if they play pick up games?  I bet Rut Bader Ginsber is always chosen last!  
human
I'm not sure about that but I heard that the New Zealand basketball team are nicknamed the "tall blacks" which is kind of strange.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Their team needs to be integrated... Hey, maybe we can get a game going between the supreme court justices and the Tall Blacks? I wonder is Air Jordans are banned on that court?
human
Ha, ha, ha! That was a good one! Yes, I know that Jordan wears them anyway because Nike is willing to pay the fine for every game he wears them in.
gpt
Yeah. Poor guy. Without his Nike endorsement, he would probably be homeless. Or maybe just have 5 less homes... Hey, nice chatting with you!
human
You as well, that was fun!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Yeah, almost as much fun as stuffing a 9 inch ball through an 18 inch hoop!
