Hi there are you a big basketball fan?
gpt
Not really, do you watch basketball much?
human
I do. Are you familiar with Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
gpt
*eyes widen* Yes, I've seen him playing basketball and I think I've even seen him on late night shows. Are you a fan of his?
human
I was when I was growing up.  He dunked so much in college that they banned the shot for almost a decade.
gpt
Did you ever have a pair of Air Jordan shoes? I few boys in my high school did. They all played basketball.
human
I never had any.  Wish I did though.  Speaking of shoes....professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week.
gpt
That's amazing! They must have such a passion and dedication to dance...and they must need very special shoes. Did you hear about the teens in the news and the Air Jordans?
human
I haven't heard that.  What is the news about?
gpt
*sighs* I guess one teen had a pair of Air Jordans, and another demaded them from him. He ran away and was chased, said witnesses, and they heard gunshots soon after. It's terrible! Over shoes!
human
Oh my gosh.  That's terrible.  I just read that 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shows.  I don't see how that's possible.
gpt
I imagine they were made with thicker leather. People used to walk much more, I think, so their shoes had to be tough, right?
human
I guess so.  lol  I have really smelly feet and they make my shoes smell bad.  Any tips on how to get rid of the smell in my shoes?
gpt
Yes, I have heard that you can put tea bags or coffee grounds in nylons in them to take the smell out. Also I've hard of putting those fabric softener sheets in shoes. Seems legit.
human
*smiles* Ahh...sweet.  Thanks! LOL  Stephon Marbury (basketball player) promoted a line of shoes that retailed at $15 but he was not paid to endorse them.  Interesting.
gpt
That's very interesting! ...and I almost forgot to say about the ballet pointe shoes...Bill Nye the Science guy has a patent on those. I wonder how he got into that?
human
*laughs* Wow.  How interesting is that?  Never knew that before just now.  I like what NFL wide receiver Steve Smith does.  He leaves his cleats on the field after every game to raise awareness for homeless people without shoes.
gpt
That's pretty interesting about his shoes, but I wonder what happens to them? I wonder if they'd ever do a show with pro basketball players taking homeless fans out to lunch?
human
*laughs* I'm not sure what they do with them.  That would be great if they did that.  There was a player who played in Cleveland that would take out food to the homeless after every home game.  I think he plays for Boston now.  He also does it when his team is on the road.
gpt
*eyes brighten* That sounds like a great idea. Speaking of which, I have some old shoes I'm going to go donate to the homeless. TTYL
