So I then just made, as lifelike as possible, a mask of Scottie Pippen at whatever, 16, 17 years old.

And this concept, this notion of a distorted replication, an avatar of Scottie Pippen, gets right to the heart of our actual mystery here as we examine a world where it has never been easier to hide who you really are.

because what Wyatt Cenac does not know, as a person who logged off of Elon Musk's Twitter several years ago, is that while his relative, Michael Jordan, has stayed as relevant as ever while never joining social media, this, thanks in part to the incredible Last Dance docuseries and interminable sports television debates, Scottie Pippen has become something startling, a crypto bro himself.

For instance, I mean, Scottie Pippen tweeted this in September of 2024.

Bitcoin, Wyatt, proceeded to break $99,000 in November.

And this built the legend of Scottie Pippen, whose tweet was viewed 9.8 million times on Elon's platform, which then led to this tweet that got 27.5 million views.

Well, speaking of AI slop and contemplating mortality, it is also important to note that Scottie Pippen is not merely posting Elon Musk stuff.

Scottie Pippen is also posting videos of grandmas dunking.

It's so stupid.

Also, I feel like that totally just pisses on the legacy of Larry Johnson.

Grandma Ma.

Why aren't we appreciating Grandma Ma in this moment?

Instead, we're making AI grandmas to do the work that Larry Johnson already pioneered.

It's a really good point.

I mean, all of this, by the way, this is just a sampling of what Scottie Pippen's social media account is like now.

And it is so much like this that,

that I got a DM from a guy named Josh Cashman.

This is at Cable Thanos on Twitter.

He himself actually makes legitimately incredible Seattle Seahawks fan videos himself using human, you know, ingenuity.

And what at Cable Thanos beseeched of me, I mean, was this.
