@pat1994ish, In Game 3 of this series, the Knicks and Bulls were tied at 102 with 1.8 seconds left in the game. Phil Jackson had deisgned the play for Toni Kukoc to take the last shot to win the game and Pippen was upset by this because he had led the 1993-94 bulls team in so many categories and was playing well for them. He felt that he was robbed of having an opportunity to take the last shot to try to win the game for the Bulls. That was why Pippen asked out of the game.

@LChris6 True but irrelevant, game three came to a final shot, not a final call- there's a dfference

[1103bullsnation]

The most bogus call in NBA History. The 1994 Chicago Bulls were going to win four straight titles but got robbed by Hue Hollins. That foul happens in today's NBA but in the 80's and 90's BULLSHIT!!!

@Exile101882

To be fair the Bulls barely escaped with a Game 3 victory, the Bulls lose Game 3 and you're looking at an entirely different series.

@ballerb2000 Your a dickweed

@ballerb2000 Also - when MJ retired in 1993, the media thought the Bulls wouldn't even make the playoffs. They no clue that Scottie Pippen was that good - good enough, or great enough I should say, to lead the Bulls to 55 wins (only 2 less than the year before WITH Jordan). In that sense, the year was a remarkable success and noted by Phil Jackson and Jerry Reinsdorf to be their favorite year, even more than that championship years. MJ gets too much credit - Scottie deserves more credit.

@TheDignam. The Bulls failed to win a title without Michael in 1994, yes - but you have to take into account how close they were - without Hugh Hollins, the Bulls may have won the championship that year. Also, the reason they struggled in 1995 was not because they "understood they couldn't win without Michael." They played .500 ball that year because they lost Horace Grant and the interior defense and rebounding that left with him.

That's most likely a foul in today's NBA, but in 1994??? NO WAY

still have the starks jersey i wore to this game.....

@Emanuelknicks Yup that proves that Pippen was kind of selfish and jealous of MJ by his comments about LBJ being better than MJ. He was more worried about being a hero than winning a playoff game.

roster, where they traded Horace Grant and left a big hole in the power forward position/defensive/rebounding areas- in turn thisgave way to the signing of Dennis Rodman, I believe.  And as from the bug picture, I am a firm believer that the Bulls/Jordan significantly shaped the evolving of the league, and they drove a lot of stars and their teams to elevate their game, in terms of toughness, spirit, and finess.
