"Is Elon coming off the bench?" - Fans react after Scottie Pippen stirs debate with unusual Michael Jordan's Bulls vs. AI question

NBA fans had mixed reactions after Scottie Pippen asked an unusual question on X, formerly known as Twitter. In a post on his official X account, Pippen asked his followers, a question about who would win in a seven-game series between his Chicago Bulls and Artificial intelligence.

The tweet featured a picture of AI-generated images of Pippen and Jordan squaring off against two Tesla Optimus robotic humanoids.

"Who would win in a 7 game series? 🏀 BULLS vs. AI," Pippen tweeted.

NBA fans were quick to react to Scottie Pippen's tweet, with some fans choosing the Chicago Bulls. Others chose the Optimus robots, and there were those who wondered if Elon Musk would play in the game.

"Depends, is Elon coming off the bench as the 6th man?" a fan asked.

"Tesla would light you up, bro. They come with telepathy and would drain your mojo and turn you into cheerleaders," one fan joked.

"I'll go with the Bulls. Maybe far in the future, the robots could win tho," another fan wrote.

Some users were concerned about Scottie Pippen's wellbeing and even wondered if the NBA player had gone bankrupt. Other X users brought up his ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, and his relationship with Michael Jordan.

"Scottie, if you need money, just tell us, man," a fan tweeted.

"Lost your wife and now you're on here tweeting for engagements. Life comes at you fast," one fan said.

"So now you with MJ again??" another fan asked.

Pippen and Jordan had a fallout after The Last Dance aired during the pandemic. Pippen was not pleased with how MJ spoke about him and the way in which his role on the Chicago Bulls was portrayed in the series.

While fans were entertained by Scottie Pippen's recent question. The former Chicago Bull was trolled by the internet when he asked a more bizarre question over the weekend. The six-time NBA champion shared an AI-generated photo of Elon Musk wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey.

"How many championships would we have won with @ElonMusk?🤔," Pippen asked.

It was a weird question given that Musk has no athletic background. The Bulls haven't had a lot of success since Pippen and Michael Jordan left in 1998. The duo won six rings for the franchise over a period of eight seasons between 1991 and 1998.
