Crypto Personalities Swarm Six-Time NBA Champion Scottie Pippen To Pitch Favorite Projects

NBA legend and Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen is receiving thousands of social media responses after posting a crypto-related query.

The retired six-time NBA champion posted a simple question on the social media platform X over the weekend: Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL)?

However, the Hall of Famer’s question didn’t receive a simple answer, yielding 5,600 replies, including a mishmash of different responses from prominent members of the crypto community. Some didn’t even chime in with an opinion on one of the top two smart contract platforms.

For example, Jack Mallers, the chief executive and founder of the Bitcoin wallet and payments application Strike, suggested Pippen look to BTC instead.

The crypto investor Chris Burniske, a partner at the venture capital firm Placeholder, asked “why not both?”

And Dogecoin (DOGE) co-creator Billy Markus, also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, didn’t waste any time shilling for his own project, responding “dog coin obv.”

Pippen tried to ignite another debate on Monday, asking “meme coins or utility coins?” The former Chicago Bulls small forward also teased “something big” coming to the blockchain but noted it was still a secret.

Pippen has long been a vocal supporter of crypto, even launching his own non-fungible token (NFT) collection in late 2022. The collection has registered 435 ETH in total volume, according to the NFT marketplace OpenSea.
