Do you enjoy the NBA?
gpt
I follow it sometimes.  I know there is 30 teams total.
human
*raises eyebrows* Did you know that one is Canadian?
gpt
No I didn't!  I do know though that the NBA players are the world's best paid athletes by average salary per player.  
human
I was not aware of that. Have you heard of Reggie Miller?
gpt
Yes!  He is one of the NBA hall of famers!
human
Did you know that in high school his sister constantly outperformed him in basketball in high school? She broke 8 national records.
gpt
Wow must run in the family to be great.  Another NBA player that is somewhat intriguing is Allen Iverson with a deal he had.  
human
I heard he had a huge endorsement. Do you know the details of it?
gpt
Yes!  It was a lifetime endorsement with Reebok in 2001.  He would get $800,000 a year until he is 55 years old.  That's a lot of cash. 
human
Wow! He got an amazing deal. Good for him. 
gpt
Yes it would be a total of $32,000,000!  I bet Michael Jordan made good money also.
human
Oh I'm sure he did. Did you know that Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA when introduced?
gpt
I actually did!  They banned it but Jordan would wear them anyways because Nike was willing to pay the fine after each game!  
human
*leans slightly forward* I would have too then ha ha. 
gpt
*leans forward* Yes must have been a big money maker!  One NBA player I thought was pretty cool was Tim Duncan. 
human
*lips slightly parted* He played for the Spurs correct?
gpt
Yep, but before doing that he sacrificed money and stayed in college for 4 years instead of going pro right away.  That's why I respect Duncan.
human
Good for him. I'm glad he was still accepted and able to play. Do you remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
gpt
*tilts head* Yes I do!  His dominant use of dunking got the shot banned from College basketball for over a decade!
