Are you a fan of the N.B.A.?
gpt
hi how are you? yes, i like the NBA. You?
human
I like watching it. I grew up watching Jordan, Bird, Reggie Miller.
gpt
I like those guys. Doesnt reggie miller have a sister or something?
human
Yeah Cheryl, he couldn't ever escape her shadow.
gpt
that is funny. no matter how good he was, his sister did better. what do you think of tim duncan's decision?
human
*takes a step back* I think he did an honorable thing by staying in college four years instead of going directly to the N.B.A.
gpt
i would not have done that. i would worry about career ending injuries. i figure that the opportunity is too rare.
human
Yeah it is, but it paid off for him. He's had a long career.
gpt
He was fortunate. i figure that some players get injured in high school or college. I would want to cash in, then go to college.
human
*raises eyebrows* That's true, I would do the same too. Did you know that Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA when they came out?
gpt
The NBA probably felt that Jordan had an advantage because of his shoes?
human
I guess they did. Nike was willing to pay the fine each game. I think that investment paid off. 
gpt
Yup. controversy is marketing and publicity. everybody wants the shoe. plus the nba get cash.
human
I wonder who made out better with Allen Iverson and Reebok's deal?
gpt
The pile of cash that he gets at age 55 is insane. he just has to stay alive.
human
*takes a step forward* Yeah and I don't feel that Reebok sells $800,000 in Iversons each year.
gpt
yeah, probably not. but they took a risk. i figure that some players win really big, the rest just get enough to survive.
human
I agree, if I could get paid that much money I'd be out there shooting "granny style."
gpt
Yes, like rick barry. he was 90 percent or more from the line. Anyway, great chat!
