Did you hear about the Deal Allen Iverson did with Reebok? 
gpt
*smiles* I didn't hear about that.  What kind of deal did he make with Reebok?
human
800K per year and then 32M when he turns 55. That was smart to me. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* Nice!  That's a lot of cash.  Physicists proved that shooting my favorite shot...the granny shot...is the absolute best technique to consistently score points from the free throw line.
human
Too funny! Can you imagine if that was the rule and the only shot that could be taken, lol.
gpt
*laughs* I wonder if anyone in the NBA has ever done it?  I don't think I've ever seen it in a game.  It would be funny!
human
Yeah I think the only team to successfully pull it off was the Harlem Globetrotters. 
gpt
Nice!  I remember them from when I was a kid.  I think they were more popular in the 70s and 80s.  Do you remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from back then?
human
Yes he was the jam master, he's a legend of the sport. 
gpt
*leans slightly forward* yes!  I remember him for his hook shots.  Did you know that in 39 out of 50 states the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach?
human
Wow but i guess that makes since the sports produces a lot of money. didn't the dunk get banned because of Kareem? 
gpt
Yes.  He used it so much in college that they banned it for over a decade.
human
Wow, talk about changing the game. Do you know who invented basketball? 
gpt
*smiles* Wasn't that a guy who was the only losing coach in the history of Kansas?  James Naismith?
human
Right, lol. At least he gave us basketball. The New Zealand Basketball team are nicknamed the tall blacks, wow!
gpt
Wow is right.  They would catch so much slack for that here in the states.  I like how Tim Duncan decided to pass up going directly to the NBA and stayed in college for 4 years.  He lost a lot of money by doing that.  But, from what I know it was a promise that he made to his grandmother that he would go to college before trying to go pro.
human
Wow hey do you know where the highest court in the land is. 
gpt
I'm not sure.  Where is it at?
human
Ironically enough it on top of the highest court in the land, the Supreme court building. 
gpt
*laughs* Awesome!  I would love to have that at the top of where I work.  did you know that the golden state warriors earned about $12 million by losing game 4 of the NBA finals?
human
Is that because of the extra games that were played or something? Are you a Reggie Miller fan? 
gpt
I was a fan of his when he was playing.
human
Just wondering apparently he's in the hall of fame. Nice chatting with you.
gpt
*smiles* It was fun!  Have a good night!
