@jstein why would you leave a semifinals game between the bulls and Knicks when the bulls are bound to win it in glorious fashion or you have the honor of watching it go into overtime? You may as well have grabbed a hotdog halfway through the 1st and dipped...
I was at this game. My dad made us leave after Ewing scored so we could beat the traffic. We heard a thunderous roar as we walked through the parking lot.
Well, Jordan and Pippen might have been one of the best dynamic duos the NBA has ever seen, but Jordan partnered with Kukoc to win a exhibiton/charity golf even last spring, so yeah...
how dare ya dumb azz say pippen had Barkley and olajuwon they were outta there fuckin prime second Barkley had back problems and olajuwon knee problems i can't stand people who don't know shit about basketball! in my Floyd mayweather voice!
Pippen was an amazing player..Can shoot, drive, post up, rebound, can distribute the ball and he was the best wing perimeter defender of the 90´s..He could have been a franchise player on any other team..Could Jordan have won without him? Yes! but Pippen relegating himself to the sidekick role under the G.O.A.T. made the Bulls unstoppable...Remember he was the first person Jordan thanked on his HOF speech!
@TheLirJet Couldnt agree more..Great teams win championships, and great players LEAD teams to championships..I would not go as far as to say anybody was gift wrapped their rings, at least not a superstar player (like Pippen or Kobe, cause without them their teams wouldnt have won)... During the 90´s Bulls dynasty Pippen was one of the top 10 players in the league, and tho prime-Shaq was the main driving force behind LA in early 00´s, Kobe was one of the top 3-5 players in the league...
people think jordan needed pippen to win? pippen couldn't even hit the gotdamn gamewinner on the team he was the leader of. he had to defer to a gotdamn rookie. pippen was never a leader on any team nor was he ever the sole reason a team won regular season or palyoff games. he was part of the reason. pippen = never hit a game winner in the finals.
pippen = never was even considerd an option to take the game winning shot in any playoff series he and michael jordan played in. so i'm supposed to believe he's the reason jordan won championships? lmfao i don't think so fuckin steve kerr and john paxson took the game winning shot instead of pippen what a fuckin stain on his career that is
@waff1eirontmacsplat He puts them in a position to get to the game winning shot... You obviously know nothing about basketball dude, to say that... Everyone knows Scottie wasn't a great shooter, he was a good shooter, incredible passer, great defender, above average rebounder... Kukoc was a better shooter and that's why he took the shot... It's clear you don't know anything about B-ball to say that, with Lebron and Wade it goes whoever has the smaller or weaker defender, go study the game bro
@TheLirJet he didn't put them in postion to win shit fuckin cunt get lost...ps the bulls made it to the second round not the fuckin eastern conf finals you fuckin idiot. you telling me i don't know anything about basketball? lmfao you don't even know what round this is you fuckin ding bat get back under your fuckin rock
@waff1eirontmacsplat If you remember they had a fight in the huddle you know nothing about basketball, it's clear to tell, you probably are horrible also.... Dude, Scottie wasn't even in the play cause he asked to take the shot.Scottie wasn't a great shooter, he was a defender, passer, rebounder,sick player to have on your team. You know nothing about Basketball, if you don't think Pippen helped Jordan your out of your mind, Jordan left bulls they won 55 games East Chmps, Lebron left Clev won 20
@TheLirJet then kukoc had to save his ass, a fuckin rookie, he wasn't even shooting good that game. still phil let kukoc take the game winner instead of pippen lmfao. kucko was shooting 25 percent in that game and phil jackson gave hjim the fuckin ball over pippen who was shooting 50 percent? lmfao pip was a true sidekick
i think pippen should not be the one inbounding the ball. it is better if pippen and kukoc are both inside the court. man inbounding the ball will have multiple options if both of them are inside. i think michael jordan, kobe bryant, lebron james, dwane wade, kevin durant, derrick rose, dr. j, wild chamberlain etc. would have done the same if you would ask them to just inbound the ball in the last seconds of the game.
This was when basketball was great! Coming off of the Bird/Magic era into the Michael Jordan dominance and even in during his 1st retirment the NBA was awesome. The NBA is a joke now people. I mean, I think players liek Kobe are great but lets face it, these guys today are all about the money and the endorsments.
I think Pippens conflict with Kucock had more to do with his contract. Kucock was getting paid more then Pippen and Scottie had a beef about it and with good reason. Kucock was a great player, in his peaks years he came off the bulls bench if he had played for a lesser team he would of been an all-star no doubt about it.
@eyeswideopen86 dont be ignorant idiot, would mj ever inbound a ball? NO and pippen was there mj that season he got them there without the GOAT, so dont u think he deserves the last shot, that he has worked so hard to get? Okay i dont think it would have been a big deal if he was running to get open and then they threw it to kukoc... BUT INBOUNDING COME ON MAN THATS DISRESPECT TO THE REAL MVP THAT YEAR!
@33bullsfan It's unprofessional. Cool that you call me an idiot yet you don't know how the difference bw there and their. My main beef w this play is that he isn't bigger than the game or bigger than the moment. The overall goal should be to WIN, not who makes the play. The bulls wouldn't have been in a position to win if it wasn't for Pippen, everyone knows that. What's the big deal if your teammate gets experience in a high pressure situation? The dude's ego got the way of the bigger picture.
I'm with you on this one. I agree that Pippen should have been an option, but he should have also been a team player here as well. There's a huge level of professionalism here and Pippen didn't show it at all.
i remember this night i was at a school dance in 6th grade, and i didnt even want to be there cause the bulls were down 0-2 and i knew they needed to win this game. i was so happy to see this highlight on tv when i got home :-)
On the final play, one significant person is missing on the floor.... Scottie Pippen. This was the infamous altercation he had with Phil Jackson. Pippen was supposed to inbound the ball to Toni. But I guess since MJ left, Scottie felt that it was his time to shine, not the rookie Kukoc.
This Bulls team had the tangibles to win the title in '94, but the fact that MJ wasn't around gave teams, like the Knicks, a sense of confidence and belief that they could finally beat the once unbeataBULLS.
this was essentially the same play draw by phil jackson when he called for toni kukoc to hit that game winning shot as he did against reggie miller and the pacers during this year's regular season
and this is why phil jackson chose kukoc to take that last second shot in game 4 of the 94 eastern conference semifinals against the knicks.....as great as scottie pippen was, phil knew scottie was not accustomed to taking such a pressure packed shot like Kukoc was.......that's why phil is the greatest coach ever
Amazing when you think about it. For all those years, the Bulls were so grateful to have Jordan especially for those situations because he was so money in game-winning-shot situations. Then for a year they don't have him, they get in a big playoff game against a hated rival in that same situation they always would lean on Jordan for, he's not even on the bench to keep their confidence steady, and someone else, Kukoc, is able to step right in and hit a Jordan-like buzzer beater. Didn't need him.
Why did Pippen want to inbound the ball at full court with 1.8 seconds and timeouts left? When I watched it back then I thought THAT was the reason he stayed on the bench, because he was mad that Phil called the timeout instead of letting him take the half court shot.
Just like today Phil distrust Ron Artest for taking a bad shot. But Ron had a chance to rebound the missed shot last playoff. Pippen was really pissed off these series, much worst in game 5. Its was a stupid call..
i think this was the game that pippen got mad at phil jackson because phil didnt draw up the last shot for pippen. he opted for kerr or toni kukoc to take the last shot.
The Bulls were about to go up 3-2 in this particular series, when good ol' Hue Hollins made one of the worst calls/decisions you will see in an NBA game. I just wonder what would have happened had the Bulls eeked this series out. Obviously they could have easily gotten themselves in a 3-0 hole, but just about every game was tight, as per usual, with these two teams. If MJ played that year, no question they at least make it to the Finals!
@cowboykiller47 Well the only thing i know about it is the Bulls orginally (sp?) drafted Kukoc around 1990. Well from what people have said is Bulls GM at the time Jerry Krause was wanting to pay Toni Kukoc a lot of money to come over. Jordan and Pippen took offense to that because both felt that Pippen should have been taken care of first.
@pointguard40 yeah but again heres the butterfly effect, and maybe the knicks wouldnt have tied if they had 4.5 left, or maybe they would make the 3 and win or take it earlier and there was still time for kukoc to make it...
This was the moment when Pippen acted like a Bitch and refused to come off of the bench to finish the game because he didn't get the final shot. I agree that he was the main man on this particular squad but Pippen was a bitch for not being a team player! That's why you see Phil going nuts when TNT goes to second commercial! Holla Back!!
@LeeWhisnant there was a lot more going on though because Pippen signed a shitty contract and was one of the best players in the NBA and felt under appreciated after all those years of having shitty players getting more money than he was, i mean in 1990-91 Dennis Hopson was getting 200 grand more than Pippen and he averaged 4 points a game. And then Phil Jackson tells him that he isnt going to be taking the shot when the game is on the line, i can totally understand his frustration
@LeeWhisnant It goes beyond that.. for that entire season the bulls organization and the city of chicago had put this enormous amount of pressure on Pippen..the whole year Phil Jackson tried to convince Pippen and himself that ¨we can do without mike, youre the man now¨ and Pippen carried that team all the way and had the best year of his career..then on the biggest play of the season, he doesnt get the last shot.. It was frustration.. it was wrong, but theres more than what meets the eye..
You also have to consider Pippen had been playing his whole career under Mj´s shadow and this was supposed to be his big moment..He was frustrated because he was very underpaid compared to other superstars in the league and he should have either MVP or DPOY that year and both went to Hakeem..if anything this was just a long overdue meltdown..
@prospect42191: with all due respect to Scottie, who had a fabulous season, no way he was either DPOY or MVP over Hakeem. Olajuwon averaged 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists (!), 1.6 steals, 3.7 blocks and shot 52.8% from the field in leading his team to a better record than the Bulls. He even shot 42.1% from 3 point range that year, much better that Scottie's 32%. Hakeem was a monster that year.
@badpdx Agreed Hakeem had a monster season and Im not saying he didnt deserve MVP or DPOY but Pippen also had a huge season he averaged 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, 0.8 blocks on 49% fg... and led the bulls to 55 wins in his first year without MJ.. and defensively they were both the best and most dominant at their positions so Im sayin it could have easily gone the other way..Just saying
@prespect42191 Just like when Jordan left to go play baseball, They bulls won over 50 games and made it to the eastern conference championships... Jordan and Kobe are two of the luckiest players... They got sick teams built around them.. Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman, Kerr or before that Grant, Paxton, Pippen, Longley... same with Kobe, he got gift wrapped 2 rings... Hawkeem was sick, he did it with good talent around him not great... Can you blame Lebron for leaving Cleveland who won 20 games after???
@TheLirJet first of all you dumb piece of shit pippen threw a fuckin fit when coach phil told pippen he wasn't going to take the fuckin shot asswipe so what are you talking about pip's dumb ass didn't go back into the game that's how much of a fuckin retard he is just like you
@TheLirJet mike= 33.0 ppg 9.6 rpg 4.0 apg 1.0 bpg 1.6 spg on 62-124 .500% and a 5-0 record without pippen in 1996 at age 33.....and a 5-0 record...not too shabby...
@TheLirJet time to again expose the "mike had pippen" theory...
pippen= 55-27 record with bulls in 94...AGE 28...but 34-31 before mikes comeback in 94-95....
MIKE= 32-12 in total combined wins which = 727% in title yrs without pippen in the lineup...mike = 1-0 in 93 without pippen in the lineup .....mike = 5-0 without pippen in the lineup in 96. mike = ...26-12 in 98 without pippen in the ineup....
@TheLirJet BULLS were 24-11 in 98 before pippen made his season debut that yr....only that "bad" because mike was learning to shoot with his injured index finger in the early games...
BULLS WERE 16-4 IN 1998 WITH 34 YEAR OLD MIKE CARRYING THE LOAD IN THE 20 GAMES BEFORE PIPPEN RETURNED....including dropping 40+ in 4 outta 8 games before pippen returned...
damn....just imagine if mikes finger wasnt injured and he was 28 yrs old like pippen was in 93-94....LMAOOO
@TheLirJet ....mike= 5-0 without pippen in 96....nuff said....
arent you forgetting the 26-12 record i showed in 98 without pippen?....only that "bad" because in november he was adjusting his shot due to an injured index finger on his shooting hand...
@TheLirJet mike= shot ..699% fts in 15 games in november(games 2-16 were in november)....shot .436% fgs...also steve kerr missed 10 games in the 26-12 span....
and unlike pippen in 93-94,mike was not 28 years old....he was 35 yrs old....and cost,let me show you why the bulls were ONLY 87-13(reg.season and playoffs combined)....lmaoooo....SCOTTIE!
@TheLirJet pippen= shot .370% in 10 regular season losses in 96
pippen= shot 19-66 .288% in 3 playoff losses....costing the bulls a 15-0 run....
bulls started the 96 playoffs 14-1....the only loss had pippen shooting 10-29 .345% in a 3-pt road loss in new york.....people hold mikes performance in the 96 finals against him...
@TheLirJet pippen= shot 4-17 .235% in game 4 loss....shot 5-20 .250% in game 5 loss.....maybe pippen was doing mike a favor....after taking a 3-0 lead in the series,maybe pippen blew 2 straight games so the bulls could not only celebrate the title in chicago,but let mike win his 1st title since his dad was murdered on fathers day....
@TheLirJet why did pippen have a 1st round exit in 99 after a ring with mike in 98?...didnt he have hakeem and barkley?...or did hakeem and barkley "have pippen"...yet fail?
The good thing about Jordan retiring the first time is it show people how Jordan wasnt the whole team. They did win the tittle for those years but the put up good records with good players like Pippen and Kukoc.
I have Phil JAckson's book "Sacred Hoops", and have read it. He talks about this game and what happened int he lcoker room after it. BEfore Phil addressed his team he tok his contacts out in the bathroom and then heard someone gasping for air near him---that person was Bill Cartwright. Cartwright then started to cry and he said in a faint voice: "I can't believe Scottie did that". Then after Phil talked to the team, Bill got up and yelled that was BS to Pippen.
During that 2nd threepeat Kukoc stated numerous times in interviews that Pip and him are really great friends. Toni described him as his favorite teammate. But in that first year there were some animosity between those two. If I remember correctly, Scottie was angry at the Bulls management cause Toni as a rookie had much better contract then him.
All of that is true. Scottie was angry because of his contract compared with Toni's. However, even in their first year they actually did like each other despite that. Pippen & Kukoc never took the contract stuff personally.
There is another clip that shows Pippen's reaction to this. He actually snaps out of it, jumps off the bench, claps his hands and does find Toni to go hug him.
@AnteBalboa americans aren't very happy about how we europeans see them, and yet they call their national leagues champions World champions.... isn't that just "a bit" arrogant????
Shut your damn pie hole. Yeah, "WORLD CHAMPIONS" because Europe doesn't matter w/ basketball. You're telling me that there is a European team thats worth a damn? Who is your best European player ever? Kukoc? Petrovic? Yeah... Ours is Jordan. Fall back bitch.
you know what sucks though, the bulls would of been back to the finals if the refs didnt call that horrible call in game 7. it took the refs to help the knicks out and jordan was retired as well. too bad cause the bulls has swept the rockets during the regular seaon too.
Actually, that horrible foul call on Pippen occurred in Game 5 at MSG. The Bulls had the game in hand and would've closed out the Knicks in Game 6 in Chicago. Guaranteed. The fact that the Knicks needed 7 games, home court advantage, no Jordan, and Hue Hollins to bail their asses out, shows you just how good the Bulls TEAM was.
not game 7 it was GAME FIVE WHERE HUGH HOLLINS SCREWED THE BULLS on that foul call long after the shot by hubert davis hollins calls a foul on pippen IT WAS A HORSE SHIT CALL, by a horseshit ref.
No Mike Breen hasn't been announcing NBA games that long. I believe he began as a low string NBC announcer in 1997 as well as the lead WNBA announcer.
The first major moment Mike Breen had as an announcer was on NBA on NBC in the 1997 Playoffs when the Heat/Knicks fight happened and Van Gundy clung on Alonzo's leg
Marv Albert did announce this game. He was the lead announcer for the NY Knicks radio station, so I'm sure you can find the tapes if you really wanted to.
He rarely reacted to things. So much so that his wife at the time used to nag him about his reactions at the end of games. He told her that he would start to wave at her at the end of games to show her that he was actually happy about the win.
dear ladies, Kukoc was a year earlier 1993 a champion of Europe, , so if you gonna suspect in somebody , find someone else, that shot is nothing compared what how many titles he has in career period.
It was a great play made by toni kukoc however it was unfair for pippen to not get the ball during the dying seconds of the game, he was the star player of that team when Micheal was gone and after being overshadowed by him throughout the years...
there is no "fair" or "unfair" in pro sports. actually it was a smart call by phil jackson. pippen was a likely choice to make that shot, rather than kukoc who was in his rookie season. pippen was supposed to be a "bait", unfortunately he opted not to be on court at this point as i recall! on the other hand, another bonus to choose kukoc was that he was obviously faster than his matched defender - toni used his body superbly to create a final shot, pushing the defender to the opposite side.
pippen was WRONG, VICTORY BELONGS TO THE TEAM and TK made a tough shot! i do remember the post game PC phil jax said practice was called for the next day you could tell he was PO 'D !!!!
@jstein why would you leave a semifinals game between the bulls and Knicks when the bulls are bound to win it in glorious fashion or you have the honor of watching it go into overtime? You may as well have grabbed a hotdog halfway through the 1st and dipped...

Just like today Phil distrust Ron Artest for taking a bad shot. But Ron had a chance to rebound the missed shot last playoff. Pippen was really pissed off these series, much worst in game 5. Its was a stupid call..

Ya gotta love how they play the "hey" song right after he makes the shot. That song = Bulls. When other arenas play it, it's just not the same.

i think this was the game that pippen got mad at phil jackson because phil didnt draw up the last shot for pippen. he opted for kerr or toni kukoc to take the last shot.

The Bulls were about to go up 3-2 in this particular series, when good ol' Hue Hollins made one of the worst calls/decisions you will see in an NBA game. I just wonder what would have happened had the Bulls eeked this series out. Obviously they could have easily gotten themselves in a 3-0 hole, but just about every game was tight, as per usual, with these two teams. If MJ played that year, no question they at least make it to the Finals!

@cowboykiller47 Well the only thing i know about it is the Bulls orginally (sp?) drafted Kukoc around 1990. Well from what people have said is Bulls GM at the time Jerry Krause was wanting to pay Toni Kukoc a lot of money to come over. Jordan and Pippen took offense to that because both felt that Pippen should have been taken care of first.

LeeWhisnant 1 year ago 9
@LeeWhisnant there was a lot more going on though because Pippen signed a shitty contract and was one of the best players in the NBA and felt under appreciated after all those years of having shitty players getting more money than he was, i mean in 1990-91 Dennis Hopson was getting 200 grand more than Pippen and he averaged 4 points a game. And then Phil Jackson tells him that he isnt going to be taking the shot when the game is on the line, i can totally understand his frustration
therevelation222 7 months ago
@LeeWhisnant It goes beyond that.. for that entire season the bulls organization and the city of chicago had put this enormous amount of pressure on Pippen..the whole year Phil Jackson tried to convince Pippen and himself that ¨we can do without mike, youre the man now¨ and Pippen carried that team all the way and had the best year of his career..then on the biggest play of the season, he doesnt get the last shot.. It was frustration.. it was wrong, but theres more than what meets the eye..
prospect42191 6 months ago
You also have to consider Pippen had been playing his whole career under Mj´s shadow and this was supposed to be his big moment..He was frustrated because he was very underpaid compared to other superstars in the league and he should have either MVP or DPOY that year and both went to Hakeem..if anything this was just a long overdue meltdown..
prospect42191 6 months ago
@prospect42191: with all due respect to Scottie, who had a fabulous season, no way he was either DPOY or MVP over Hakeem. Olajuwon averaged 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists (!), 1.6 steals, 3.7 blocks and shot 52.8% from the field in leading his team to a better record than the Bulls. He even shot 42.1% from 3 point range that year, much better that Scottie's 32%. Hakeem was a monster that year.
badpdx 3 months ago
@badpdx Agreed Hakeem had a monster season and Im not saying he didnt deserve MVP or DPOY but Pippen also had a huge season he averaged 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, 0.8 blocks on 49% fg... and led the bulls to 55 wins in his first year without MJ.. and defensively they were both the best and most dominant at their positions so Im sayin it could have easily gone the other way..Just saying

@prespect42191 Just like when Jordan left to go play baseball, They bulls won over 50 games and made it to the eastern conference championships... Jordan and Kobe are two of the luckiest players...

BEfore Phil addressed his team he tok his contacts out in the bathroom and then heard someone gasping for air near him---that person was Bill Cartwright. Cartwright then started to cry and he said in a faint voice: "I can't believe Scottie did that". Then after Phil talked to the team, Bill got up and yelled that was BS to Pippen.

During that 2nd threepeat Kukoc stated numerous times in interviews that Pip and him are really great friends. Toni described him as his favorite teammate. But in that first year there were some animosity between those two. If I remember correctly, Scottie was angry at the Bulls management cause Toni as a rookie had much better contract then him.

Actually, that horrible foul call on Pippen occurred in Game 5 at MSG. The Bulls had the game in hand and would've closed out the Knicks in Game 6 in Chicago. Guaranteed. The fact that the Knicks needed 7 games, home court advantage, no Jordan, and Hue Hollins to bail their asses out, shows you just how good the Bulls TEAM was.

ogie 2 years ago
there is no "fair" or "unfair" in pro sports. actually it was a smart call by phil jackson. pippen was a likely choice to make that shot, rather than kukoc who was in his rookie season. pippen was supposed to be a "bait", unfortunately he opted not to be on court at this point as i recall! on the other hand, another bonus to choose kukoc was that he was obviously faster than his matched defender - toni used his body superbly to create a final shot, pushing the defender to the opposite side.
