Scottie Pippen accuses Phil Jackson of being racist Field Level Media 29 Jun 2021, 12:19 GMT+10 Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen on Monday accused his former coach Phil Jackson of being a racist. While appearing on the "Dan Patrick Show," the Chicago Bulls great followed up previous comments he made about Jackson during a recent GQ interview. Pippen, 55, referenced a play in the latter stages of Game 3 of the 1994 Eastern Conference semifinals when the Bulls opposed the New York Knicks. Jackson drew up the final shot for then-rookie forward Toni Kukoc, who is white, as opposed to Pippen, who infamously refused to re-enter the game.
