NBA great Scottie Pippen seems to have a lot of respect for businessman Elon Musk. It is so much so that he has made predictions about how many titles he would have won. If the richest man in the world had been a teammate of his on the Chicago Bulls.
When the six-time NBA champion posted a Photoshopped picture of Musk wearing a Bulls jersey on X on Saturday. It went viral. It has now received over a million views and retweets. He questioned his supporters:
How many championships would we have won with @ElonMusk? đŸ¤” pic.twitter.com/Qp0lXZgLLN

He did not give any context for his tweet. But it might be related to Musk’s fame in the cryptocurrency space, especially concerning Bitcoin and Dogecoin. These are the subjects that Pippen has recently expressed interest in.
It might also refer to Musk’s achievements through Space X, X Corp. (Twitter), and Tesla Inc. Musk’s influence extends to politics, as some have attributed Trump’s reelection campaign to his connections with former president Donald Trump.
Scottie Pippen and his Bulls squad were a huge success. But he wonders how Chicago would have fared if they had been influenced by Elon Musk’s accomplishments.
The Bulls which have Michael Jordan-Pippen are one of the best teams in NBA history. They won six titles between 1991 to 1998. A symbol of constancy and a driven attitude. They ascended the ranks slowly and held sway until they arrived at the top.
Scottie Pippen remained consistent during their remarkable run. He mostly played behind Michael Jordan, but it doesn’t matter. He was dependable in his work and unquestionably made a lasting impression on Chicago’s basketball history.
