Hello there, what are your thoughts on basketball?
gpt
I like the sport a lot. I just can't believe that there are only five players at a time on each side. It always seems like more.
human
*takes a step back* True, the dunk was so bad because of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in college it got banned for years.
gpt
Yeah, I heard it was banned from college basketball for over a decade! 
human
I think the NBA has changed a lot with so many more 3 point shots being taken, it is hard to defend that much of the court.
gpt
Yeah, that could be. It's hard to believe that in 39 out of 50 states the highest paid employee is either a college football or basketball coach.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Well look at Air Jordans, that shoe accounts for 33% of all money on shoes spent on ebay.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Does it really?Did you know that Jordan's were banned upon introduction by the NBA?
human
*takes a step forward* Yes it was around 1984 I think, I think this is what jumpstarted Nike into the powerhouse they have become.
gpt
Yes, rapper Drake even owns a pair of solid gold Jordan's.
human
*frowns* I do think it has gotten out of hand though, a 16 year old killed another teen in Washington over a pair of Air Jordans.  That is sad.
gpt
*frowns* That is sad. Murder over a $250 pair of shoes. Senseless.
human
Yeah the defense claims the 3 teenage witnesses were lying.  They apparently were the only evidence.  Must have been ironclad.
gpt
Terrible. I wonder if MJ did anything for the family considering he held the record for the single highest paid season?
human
*takes a step back* I doubt it, I mean the logo of his jumping isn't how he jumps either.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah, it's ironic that it is from a photo shoot of MJ doing the ballet move grand jete and had nothing to do with how he jumps!
human
*smiles* I actually have a pair of Air Jordans from the 90s, I made sure to leave tea bags after I wore them for a while to reduce the smell!
gpt
Oh, I've heard to do that with shoes. I find it amazing the Stephon Marbury promoted a line of shoes for $15 and was not paid to endorse them.
human
*leans slightly forward* Yeah there are some good athletes in the world like Steve Smith who leaves his cleats on the bench to remind people of homelessness and people without shoes.
gpt
I have heard about that. I find it interesting that not only were shoes around so long ago, but a pair of shoes 5000 years old performs better than modern day shoes.
human
*eyes brighten* Goes with the saying "don't make them like they used to", thanks for the chat.
gpt
Yes, agreed. Good chatting.
