Goals of Satoshi, crazy AI painting, countless crypto bull-posting: What exactly is going on with basketball legend Scottie Pippen?  ,
In recent months, the seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist has dominated the Crypto Twitter timeline with a strange and impressive collection of comments and photographs relating to the crypto business.  ,
Points seem to have taken off next summer, when Pippen launched a crypto initiative aimed at tokenizing a hockey, from a key point in his career, as a real-world property. The” Game 5 Ball”, which was played by Pippen and Chicago Bulls during their 1991 NBA Finals triumph over the then-dominant Los Angeles Lakers, took on new life last year first as a crypto token, then as a” trash-talking AI sports agent” . ,
Yes, famous sports occasionally switch to crypto. However, Pippen quickly took points to a whole new level.  ,
The resigned NBA star started posting seductive AI-created images accompanied by debating says about Bitcoin and his relation to the crypto asset around the same time. One for instance, which shows Pippen in a prayer-like pose on a baseball court receiving a visit from a lumbering, masked man in a” Satoshi” sweater, accompanied a declaration that Bitcoin‘s strange father was communicating with Pippen via his psyche.  ,
” I had a vision I met Satoshi Nakamoto next day”, Pippen wrote, referring to Bitcoin’s anonymous father. ” He didn’t see me as another person. Instead, Satoshi was glad that I was opening a new street for RWA in the crypto business” . ,
Thereafter, the visions became more confrontational.  ,
Pippen claimed to have met Satoshi in 1993, which is exactly 15 times before Nakamoto first appeared online, while speaking with Bitcoin maniac Michael Saylor at a blockchain conference in Miami in November.  ,  ,
Saylor’s bewildered, real-time response to the claim quickly went viral.
When Pippen explained that Satoshi was not actually a human being, he thought, but rather” an idea” and” a legacy,” which started to form in the same year as the legendary 1990s Chicago Bulls ‘ legendary streak.  ,
In the new year, as industry have surged, Pippen has merely doubled down on his special kind of bull-posting. He appears to have been particularly interested in the connection between the Bulls and the idea of bitcoin bull-posting.  ,
Another latest entry saw a muscle-bound Pippen grasping for a floating Crypto sign with tens of unidentified fingers as he attempted to steal his prized possession.  ,
The renowned athlete has recently crossed the boundaries of the wider bitcoin ecosystem, including Bitcoin and his own image. Vitalik Buterin smoking a cigar in front of a large corporate office building with a large Solana brand, according to an image that was posted to his X accounts on Thursday.  ,
Some questioned whether Pippen had mistakenly referred to the tower in the background of the photo. Real Pippenheads quickly responded, claiming that the baseball player has entered a new era of manifestation and undertone in his fantastically original crypto oeuvre.  ,
