So, there's more to this story of Scottie Pippen. He has tweeted some good prediction that did happened although on the exact date but with the price that he has mentioned. Now, he has met Satoshi in 1993? only him can tell the truth, maybe true, maybe for the sake of attention.
Even if he has made some good predictions in the past about the price of bitcoin, that does not still prove that what he is postulating is true. I can't even for one day agree to those words; there are people who could have come up with such lies, and it will be a bit convincing.
So let's assume he actually knew who Satoshi is and they were friends. What happened over these years? Why did it take him so long to come up with such a crap story? Well, I can't find any suitable answer other than to say that he's just seeking attention, which he's probably getting because he's now trending online with such a statement.
