do you follow basketball?
gpt
I have never followed sports much, though I heard that the basketball game schedule for 2018 and 2019 came out.
human
*takes a step forward* I dont follow it much either. it seems they make a good bit of their money off of endorsement. allen iverson has a reebok contract that pays him 800,000 a year!
gpt
That is a great deal of money for wearing and saying nice things about shoes.  LeBron James makes a ton of money through the NBA.
human
*takes a step back* along with that he gets a final lump sum payment of $32 million when he reaches 55, thats some serious retirement money right there.
gpt
He doesn't need to wait till retirement, when he was just 18 Reebok offered him ten million.
human
Who really wears reebok that they offer that kind of money???
gpt
*takes a step back* Well, somebody must, it is good he didn't take that though, Nike gave him much more a year later.
human
some of lebron james HIGH SCHOOL basketball games attracted over 1700 people and tickets cost over $100! who pays that for high school basketball? heck i wouldnt pay that for an NBA games lol
gpt
I'm not sure how much NBA games cost to attend, but it must be alot since they are giving Iverson 800,000 a year till he's 55 and then $32 million.
human
the NBA isn't paying him that REEBOK is.. I don't know what his salary is with the NBA. Jordans were banned by the NBA but ya know Jordan chose to wear them anyway.
gpt
Good point. The NBA does have the best paid athletes if you look at their average annual salary. That is not including endorsements.
human
I would have thought football players make more. Apparently there were originally 2 major basketball leagues and then they merged in 1949. 
gpt
Well, the NBA is considered to be the premier basketball league in the world. American football is not played worldwide.
human
Good point. Hey did you they are making a space jam sequel??
gpt
Is Lebron going to be in it?
human
Yup, he's the lead I guess is playing Michael Jordans role from the original
gpt
*calm eyes* Lebron does all kinds of stuff. Not only is he a NBA player he is an Olympian, a person who raises charity funds and makes tons of money as a sportswear spokesperson. 
human
*hands at sides* he IS the best player of all time.
gpt
I know he has won tons of awards and medals, but what makes him the best player of all time?
