Scottie Pippen Accuses Phil Jackson of Being Racist

Hall of Fame forward Scottie Pippen accused his former coach Phil Jackson of racism Monday, doubling down on an earlier comment about an incident from the 1994 playoffs.

While appearing on Monday's Dan Patrick Show, Pippen addressed comments he made in an interview with GQ about a 1994 playoff game between the Bulls and Knicks.

With the score tied at 102 with 1.8 seconds remaining, Pippen infamously refused to enter the game coming out of a timeout. Pippen stayed on the bench in protest because Jackson elected to draw up the Bulls' last-second play for then-rookie Toni Kukou010d instead of him.
