*calm eyes* Hey, how's it going over there? You good?
gpt
Very.  Do you think championships in pro sports are paid fairly?
human
If they are making too much, the marketplace will tell them. As of now, everybody is getting paid.
gpt
I am comfortable myself.  If you can draw the eyeballs, you get the bucks.  It has always been that way.  The Lakers and Celtics have won 33 of the 72 titles in the history of the NBA
human
Big market teams can afford marquee players. It's not really fair, but the league can put a tax on teams to try to even things out.
gpt
The NFL does the best job of balancing the payrolls.  But, the Patriots have more than their share of championships.
human
Years ago, the Pats were the worst. The 49ers were great. Things change. Soon Brady will retire and a female QB will take his place. 
gpt
Perhaps, but even the move to shorter QBs is remarkable.  The NBA has 29 team in the US and 1 in Canada.
human
Canada is lucky to have that. I think the league needs to consider a team in Mexico. Mexico has people. People can become fans. Fans pay money.
gpt
Great point.  You need to get on someone's marketing staff.  I have a buddy who schedules NBA refs and works at the HQ in NYC.
human
That's a great job! Does he get to meet players like LeBron?
gpt
Absolutely.  He sometimes travels with the commissioner and meets everybody.  Once the guys are scheduled, administration is not too difficult.  Have you seen players shoot "granny style?"
human
That underhanded thing? Yeah, it's weird looking.
gpt
It is, but physicists have proven that it is the best way to shoot free throws.  Players don't do it because of their egos.
human
Physicists should try playing basketball, then they'd understand. Ego is an important part of the game.
gpt
Heh heh.  Great point.  Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA, but Michael wore them anyhow.  NIke paid a fine for each game.
human
I bet Nike arranged that well in advance. Publicity from every angle.
gpt
Exactly.  It was probably better for them to pay the fine than if the NBA had overlooked it!
human
People take note, the shoes sell. People watch the games just to see what's going to happen. 
gpt
*hands at sides* Yep.  I went to the University of Oklahoma and they are one of only 4 schools that use Jordan Brand jerseys.  "There is only one Oklahoma" It attracts recruits.
human
*eyes brighten* Interesting. Thanks for the chat. I'll catch you later.
gpt
Thanks to you too!
