*calm eyes* The National Basketball Association has 30 teams, one of which is not in the USA.
gpt
Fantastic! Did you know Steph Curry's team donates part of their proceeds to buying mosquito nets for poor people?
human
I had no idea.  That sounds like a good deed.  The NBA players are the best paid athletes on average.  So, they can afford acts of charity.
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah, the nets are for people in Africa. For every 3 pointer he donates 3 nets.
human
*relaxed posture* NBA player Allen Iverson gets $800,000 a year until he is 55.  Then he gets $32,000,000.  Kind of strange to think thats just a side deal for him.  Income inequality, one guy needs a mosquito net, the other millions to wear a logo.
gpt
*takes a step forward* You know something else? Of the past 20 years only 3 of the draft picks have actually won a championship.
human
Is the draft constructed to spread top talent to wanting teams, then that makes sense.  The NBA has to keep things interesting.  The direction for the teams comes from  Olympic Tower 645 Fifth Avenue in NY, NY.
gpt
Very interesting! Did you know that there is a basketball court on top of the Supreme Court Building?
human
That court is the highest court in the land.  Good fun that is I think.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yes, very fun! How about Reggie Miller? Did you know he has a younger sister that used to play basketball too?
human
Reggie Miller went on to be come a NBA hall of famer.  Did his sister get into the NBA hall of fame as well?
gpt
No, women can't be in the NBA. Although his sister upstaged him back in 1982 when they were in high school by scoring 105 in her game to his 40 from his game.
human
I see, so as a high schooler, she beat him roundly.  As an adult female she has no stage to earn millions putting a ball in a hole.  I always shoot my free throws "granny style"  I like the way it feels.
gpt
Ha me too! The NBA players won't use it because it looks foolish, but it's supposed to be the best.
human
I like the way that Air Jordans are banned, and used anyway.  The NBA as a sanctioning body seems ineffective.
gpt
I remember when that happened! Air Jordans were so expensive no one could afford them. Michael Jordan was the only one breaking the rule by wearing them on the court. It made him tons of money.
human
Thats what it is about, piles of money.  I salute players like Tim Duncan for realizing that the NBA will be around in four years and he should get a free degree while it is available. 
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Can you imagine the dunk shot getting banned? That's exactly what happened for 10 years!
human
In college ball, that happened.  No matter where it is played, the ball is 9.4 inches in diameter and the hoop is 18 inches in diameter.  So, it should fit no matter how it gets to the hoop.
gpt
Cool! The Golden State warriors started off  in 1946.
human
The Golden State Warriors play home games in Oracle Arena.  Good for them.
gpt
Very interesting! In 1975 they has to play their finals in the Cow Palace because their stadium had been overbooked.
human
Cow palace.  Kind of odd things happen there when the Aliens are in town.  I find it funny that losing game 4 of the NBA finals got the Warriors 12 million. 
gpt
*relaxed posture* Good chatting with you!
