NBA legend Scottie Pippen throws out wild tweet with Elon Musk photoshopped in Bulls jersey – Image Source: Imagn
NBA legend Scottie Pippen appears to hold businessman Elon Musk in high regard — so much so that he has speculated on how many championships he might have won if the world’s richest man had played alongside him on the Chicago Bulls.
The six-time NBA champion created a buzz on social media on Saturday when he shared a photoshopped image of Musk in a Bulls jersey on X (formerly Twitter), which has since garnered over a million views and retweeted over a thousand times. He asked his followers:
“How many championships would we have won with @ElonMusk?”
Scottie Pippen did not provide context for the post, but it may stem from Musk’s prominence in the cryptocurrency world, particularly with Bitcoin and Dogecoin — fields that Pippen has shown interest in recently.
It could also reference Musk’s success in business through ventures like Tesla Inc, X Corp. (Twitter) and Space X. Musk’s influence has even extended into politics, with his ties to former president Donald Trump credited by some as a factor in Trump’s reelection efforts.
Scottie Pippen and Chicago Bulls still a big success
While he ponders how Chicago would have fared had Elon Musk’s success rubbed off on them, Scottie Pippen and his Bulls team were nonetheless a big success.
Winners of six NBA titles in the 1990s, the Michael Jordan-Pippen-era Bulls are undeniably one of the greatest teams, if not the greatest, in league history. They steadily climbed the ranks, and when they reached the summit, they held sway — a picture of consistency and a go-getter mindset.
Through their impressive run, Scottie Pippen was a constant. Never mind that he played, for the most part, behind Michael Jordan. He was solid in what he did and undeniably left an indelible imprint on Chicago basketball history.
Pippen landed in the Windy City by way of a draft-day trade with Seattle in 1987 after playing for Central Arkansas in college. From there, he just continued to soar, establishing himself as a key piece for the Bulls alongside Jordan, helping Chicago to win NBA titles in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. When Jordan temporarily retired in the mid-90s, “Pip” stepped up to become the face of the team.
The spectacular run ended after their last NBA title in 1998, when the Bulls organization decided to go in a different direction and rebuild.
In 12 years with the Bulls, Pippen finished with averages of 17.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.1 steals in 856 games.
