*eyes brighten* Hey there. Do you like basketball? I love how the NBA is the premier basketball league in the world.
gpt
*slouches* I do like the NBA, but there is only one team to root for in my country... I wish they were more. 
human
*leans forward* Oh interesting. You must live in Canada!
gpt
Indeed, if they were more team they could be rivalries. I live far from Toronto, I don't really relate to them. What is your favorite team ? 
human
*opens mouth slightly* My team is the New Orleans pelicans. However one of my favorite players was Allen Iverson. He made a lot of money with Reebok. He gets a lump sum of 32 million at age 55.
gpt
the NBA generates al lot of revenues for the companies like Nike and Reebok, enough to pay a fine each game if a player wears banned shoes. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah that's true. You must be referring to the air Jordans that the NBA banned. Kind of funny.
gpt
I wonder if they had any effects at all, because they were unbanned after.  
human
Yeah I bet they got a lot of media for doing that. It's all about money. Although Tim Duncan sacrifice money to stay in college for four years.
gpt
*shoulders droop* But even in college, basketball is about money, college basketball coaches are among the best paid state employees. 
human
Yeah that's true. 39 out of 50 states pay coaches the highest of any state employee. But the players don't get paid. Should they?
gpt
If it generates more money than they are paid for, the State is winning. So I think it is okay, it is not a waste of money. 
human
Yes that's true. Well the US Supreme court even has a basketball court on the top floor! It is popular everywhere.
gpt
Do you think they had to build one there ? They could have gone  to a gym, I am sure the is one near the Supreme Court. 
human
True I bet there is. But they must have wanted to call it the highest court in the land!
gpt
I wonder if they ruled on the legality of the dunk, it was banned for 10 years in college. 
human
*raises eyebrows* Haha that would be so fitting. Yeah Kareem's dunk must have been very influential to get banned.
gpt
He must have done it a lot to have it banned, I don't think they introduce that rule after his first dunk. 
human
Yeah I think you're right. Also surprising that the inventor of basketball wasn't a good coach at Kansas. In fact he was the worst! Well it was fun talking with you today! 
gpt
It must have been hard for him, you invent a sport then everyone is better than you. I wonder if he regretted inventing it. Thanks for the conversation, have a good day.
