Do you follow professional basketball?
gpt
I do follow it, basketball is among my favorite sports, my favorite team is the Wizard, what about you_
human
I haven't been keeping up that much with it recently.  I have been a Bulls fan since the days of Michael Jordan.
gpt
I see, Jordan was a great player indeed, one of the best of all time, well the Wizards started out slow loosing against the Toronto Raptors.
human
But they seemed to keep in it, they were only a few points behind.  Plus the Raptors are 1st seed in their division.  
gpt
Yeah it was a close game, I hope they can do better on other games, it would be a shame if they didnt had a good season
human
Isn't the next game coming up this Friday?
gpt
I think they are playing tomorrow actually against the Bucks, we lost the last game against them so hopefully we can do better this tiem
human
Well best of luck to them, maybe if they started shooting "granny style" for those free throws they could score some extra points, physicists actually proved it is the best technique, even though it looks kind of stupid.
gpt
Yeah I think they could improve but players refuse to do it for that same reason, it looks stupid although I dont care as long as my team wings
human
Definitely, whatever gets those points on the board.  Kind of like the 105 points Cheryl Miller once scored in a game.  That's crazy, sometimes teams dont even score that many.
gpt
He did? wow, thats a whole lot of points for one player in one game I wonder if he shoot granny style lol
human
Maybe, that would be how I'd have to get it done.  Basketball is far from my sport.
gpt
Ok so if you are a basketball fan then you definetly know who Allen Iverson is?
human
I do.  I heard he has some crazy endorsement with Reebok.
gpt
He does, he recieves $800.000 a year and then when he turns 55 he will receive a big payment of $32.000.000
human
I'd be good with just $800,000 for life.   They could throw some free shoes in too.  Lol.
gpt
I agree lol, its crazy how big companies can offer players deals like that one, or like Nike when they didnt care about the fine of the air Jordans
human
Sometimes they are playing the long game, companies that is.  Look at how many pairs of Air Jordans they have sold over the years, just for a few years of fines.  I mean they are still current and popular shoes, and thats like a 20 year run on it.
gpt
I agree and I guess a company like Nike can afford it, after all they offer million dollar deals to a lot of players.
human
There are also those players who sacrifice money for their own betterment, like Tim Duncan who stayed in college instead of going straight to the NBA.
gpt
I think the decision Tim Duncan made was the right one, he lost a lot of money but many players end up bankrupt after their carreers are over
