Are you a fan of basketball? I like LeBron James, I think he's really good
gpt
I am not really that much of a fan of basketball, but everyone knows LeBron James.
human
Yeah, I don't know too much about basketball either, I just know LeBron is really good. I actually used to play when I was younger, but I was pretty bad so I stopped playing. Did you ever play when you were younger?
gpt
I played football in High school, never did play basketball because I found it to be a bit boring.
human
Nice! I played mostly soccer in high school. I never wanted to play professionally because I knew I wasn't good enough, but also because there's no money in that haha
gpt
There can be money in pro sports, but the vast majority of kids in school will never make it pro. They accept a very very small percentage of people into pro sports. The way it is now, if you are not born into the life by someone that is already famous in it, your likely hood of getting there is slim to none.
human
*raises eyebrows* Exactly. Have you heard of Reggie Miller? Amazing player, but his older sister Cheryl was even better (at least compared to her teammates and opponents). One time she scored 105 points in a game!
gpt
I have heard of Reggie Miller, but had never heard of his sister, but like I said I don't follow much basketball. I hear the games going all the time on our local radio station and always change it right away.
human
I normally just listen to Spotify, I don't listen to radio almost ever anymore. But even though radio has been around for so long, I wonder if it's on its way out what with all these new streaming platforms
gpt
I do not listen to very much regular radio any more either, I do think that radio is dying out, especially with things like spottily and Pandora, even youtube has youtube music now which in my opinion is all a lot better than regular radio.
human
Agreed! I do hope these time-old institutions like the radio and the post office, etc. stay alive. Radio is so cool, even though I don't listen to it. There's actually a website where you can listen to classic radio dramas for free.
gpt
I don't think the post office is gonna die anytime soon and I can see radio staying around at least for a while longer, but newspapers on the other hand are quickly dying out. Our local paper was canceled like 2 years ago because they just didn't make money anymore, but to be fair they started selling the newspaper online in digital form.
human
*relaxed posture* I agree, I'm nervous for the newspaper industry. But I don't think basketball will ever die out. The NBA in some form has been around since the 40's, and basketball players are typically the highest paid workers in the country
gpt
*leans forward* Oh yeah pro sports are not going anywhere, as long as there are people that excel at certain things and people will watch them do it, there will be sports.
human
*wrinkles nose* Yeah, at least in pro sports people have talent. I can't watch these reality tv shows like the Kardashians, there's no talent involved in that. Even Judge Judy is pushing it for me, she's a real judge but she's all show now. And still she's the second-highest paid celebrity only after LeBron James...
gpt
Yeah reality tv is all really badly scripted and acted. My mom likes all those music shows, like The voice and American Idol but i feel like a lot of stuff on those is even faked.
human
*curls lip* Agreed. American Idol used to be one of my favorite shows when I was younger. It used to be mainly about the singing, now it's about the frills and diversions. 
gpt
*leans forward* Speaking of Judge Judy, did you know her bailiff pulls in more than a million a year. He is one of the most wealthy bailiffs in the world.
human
That's absolutely crazy! See, it's all about the show of it all and not about the actual job/talent. A bailiff making more than a million a year just because he's being watched by America to do his job is unreal.
gpt
*leans forward* Yeah in America it is really about the people you know/your family knows. You can be a talent less hack and as long as your family knows the right people it makes no difference, hence how we get people like the Kardashians.
