Do you follow the NBA?  I guess Draymond Green got suspended after a heated argument with Kevin Durant.  The NBA is more and more like Pro wrestling. 
gpt
Yeah, I do follow the NBA. Durant should have kept his cool, but he's right, Green cost the team the game when it mattered. 
human
*raises eyebrows* Ii can't believe Klay Thomas spoke out in the name of unity. 
gpt
*leans forward* Yeah, that was surprising. He's not normally one to speak up. Do you think the issue was about the game, or is Green just upset about Durant's pending contract? 
human
Probably a little of both.  According to ESPN it was pretty intense.  
gpt
Seems like it! I'm not too surprised, Green's kind of a loose cannon. 
human
*tightens jaw* Yeah, I guess coach Kerr made the final decision to suspend Green which probably is the right thing to do. 
gpt
I agree. You don't want that affecting the rest of the season. I can see why some teammates are upset about Durant, though. You don't want to lose a star player, like Cleveland did with LeBron. 
human
Yep.  On to shoe issues.  Did you know Air Jordan's were banned when they were introduced?
gpt
I never heard that they were, that's crazy! Do you know why? 
human
*eyes widen* I suppose they thought they would give an unfair advantage. Jordan didn't obey them and wore them anyway. 
gpt
Huh, I guess that makes sense since Nike's always ahead of the game. Reminds me of when LeBron turned down the Reebok deal for 10 million dollars, and then Nike offered him 90 million. They're good at attracting the superstars. 
human
*eyes widen* I'm not a big fan of LeBron. He didn't live up to the Lakers hopes. 
gpt
Haha, you're not the only one. Apparently even members of al-qaeda spoke out against his move to Miami. He seems to be losing support everywhere. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* Wow, if you lose the support of a terrorist group -- doesn't get much lower than that. 
gpt
Very true. Hopefully LeBron is saving his money for when everyone turns on him. I've heard that most NBA players end up broke five years after retirement. 
human
*takes a step back* Yeah, that's some poor money management.  Right now he's beating Judge Judy who gets $123K per episode. 
gpt
*relaxed posture* Woah, he's making better decisions than Spencer Haywood. Did you hear about the time he chose $100k in cash upfront instead of a stake in Nike, which would have been worth billions today?
human
Doh! Bet he wishes he had that back.  Money, money... In 39 of 50 states, the highest state employee is a college football or basketball coach. 
gpt
*takes a step back* Seriously?! It's crazy that college coaches get paid so much, while the athletes don't make any money. Before Tim Duncan joined the Spurs for guaranteed income, he chose to keep playing all 4 years in college despite an NBA offer. Pretty risky move! 
human
I went into the wrong like of work.  I could do free throws "Granny Style" and maybe get an edge.  Physicists proved it has a higher percentage -- just looks goofy. 
gpt
I think Shaq could have made more than one 3 pointer in his entire career if he had adopted the granny style! Might not be worth the ridicule, though.
