Did the NBA basketball legend Scottie Pippen just out himself as MAGA?
The answer is we don’t know, but this somewhat cryptic message seems to indicate some sympathy towards the work of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.
As Musk and his team seek to cut vast swathes of the federal government, critics have focused in on his young employees, including one who went by the online name “Big Balls.”
“Big Balls” resigned after he was found to have made racist comments on a burner account, although he has since been brought back to avoid propagating cancel culture.
Amid the controversy, Musk shared a meme in which he jokes about “Big Balls” striking a blow to the federal bureaucracy.
Pippen, meanwhile, responded to the meme with a picture of him holding two large basketballs.
“The bigger the balls, the bigger the legacy,” he wrote.

An NBA Hall of Famer best known for his time with the Chicago Bulls, Pippen has never been an outspoken political figure.
However, he was a supporter of Barack Obama and participated with him in a basketball game on the day of the 2012 election on the basis that it would bring the president good luck.
In 2015, Pippen revealed that Obama had sent him a handwritten note on his 50th birthday.

Yet a lot in the world has changed since then, and Pippen’s political views may well have shifted.
Pippen recently appeared on the Patrick Bet David podcast, where he discussed his difficult relationship with fellow legend Michael Jordan.
‘I just think Michael is a very difficult person to deal with,’ Pippen said of their relationship.
“I played with him for years, so I know that when it’s time for you to move in your direction, then go in your direction.”
“Don’t sit there and try to procrastinate or stretch it that the relationship is not where it was or not what it used to be, and it’s never going to be the same,” he added.
”So why try and make something out of nothing? Or try to make something that was never there?”
