Hello, do you like Basketball?
gpt
Yes, I am a huge fan as a matter of fact! But knowing the highest paid employee in 39 states are either college football or basketball coaches is shocking. Are you a basketball fan as well?
human
Yeah, I was shocked too.  It is just State employees so that does not count the under the table money the players get lol.
gpt
*takes a step forward* You may be right about that. Ha! I also think it's shocking college basketball banned the dunk shot for more than a decade thanks to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He must have been one powerful dunker!
human
I bet the attendence went down for that year haha and they changed their minds.
gpt
*tightens jaw* Probably so! I tell you what would make attendance go down is if a team in the US was called the "Tall Blacks" like that team over in New Zealand is. I don't see how they get away with such a racist name!
human
No, its a pun on the Rugby team the All Blacks because they wear all black.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That would make a little more sense. On another basketball note, did you know the inventor of basketball, James Naismith, is also the University of Kansas' only losing coach in its entire history? Thats a little ironic!
human
Yeah the All Blacks are legends so they stole their name.  Naismith should have taught granny style shooting to help
gpt
Ha! Maybe he should have! So did you also know there's actually a basketball court on the top floor of the supreme court building which is called the highest court in the land?
human
Very neat!  I would like to see that.  Do you like football too?
gpt
I do love football, especially the NFL! Although I don't like how there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average each game. I wish it was longer. What about you?
human
Love it.  Lots of trades going on!  I did not know there were chips in the balls?
gpt
Oh yeah, and they also stick tracking chips in the players' shoulder pads as well to record their every move! That is so innovative!
human
How come they make so many bad calls then?  Did you know espn invented the yellow line?
gpt
Did they really? Now that is innovative! Speaking of the NFL, I can't help but wonder why they haven't signed a female player yet seeing as how there are no rules against women playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. You'd think we would have at least had a female kicker by now!
human
I agree.  There are some female soccer player who can kick the ball like crazy!  Did you know Saint Cheerleaders have to leave a restuarant if a player walks in?
gpt
*calm eyes* I can't believe no lawsuits have been filed over that misogynistic rule yet. But regarding female players, if they do it simply for the money, then they should just enter the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players anyway.
human
Yeah, NFL careers are short.  But they can still have a career like engineer post NFL.
gpt
True! Pr they could see if the NBA will take them since NBA players are the best paid athletes in the world by average annual salary!
human
Good point...take care and nice chat!
gpt
And additionally, look at the endorsement deals, such as the lifetime deal Allen Iverson signed with Reebok! He gets $800k a year until he hits 55, then he gets a final lump sum payment of $32 million. NBA is definitely where the money is at! Ha! Well, you take care as well, friend! I enjoyed our chat!
