Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen had many great moments with the franchise, including six championships alongside Michael Jordan. However, Pippen had his share of lows as well, including when he benched himself for the final play of a playoff game against the New York Knicks in 1994 during Jordan's first retirement.

With 1.8 seconds left and the Bulls and Knicks tied, Phil Jackson drew up a play for Toni Kukoc, the Bulls' rookie phenom from Europe. Pippen was pissed off and remained on the bench as Kukoc buried the shot to win the game.

In an interview with Tyler R. Tynes of GQ, Pippen addressed what happened and went real hard in the paint:

I don’t think it’s a mystery, you need to read between the fine lines. It was my first year playing without Michael Jordan, why wouldn’t I be taking that last shot? I been through all the ups and downs, the battles with the Pistons and now you gonna insult me and tell me to take it out? I thought it was a pretty low blow. I felt like it was an opportunity to give [Kukoc] a rise. It was a racial move to give him a rise. After all I’ve been through with this organization, now you're gonna tell me to take the ball out and throw it to Toni Kukoc? You’re insulting me. That’s how I felt.

The former Bulls star wasn't done:

Yeah. Go back and look at it and you can see it. It was my team. Why are you telling me to take the ball out on a game-tying shot. It wasn’t even a game-winning shot. Why are you trying to let him be the hero? He ain’t the leader of this team. No. You trying to make him a hero to hit that shot. If he misses, he playing wit’ house money. He playing what I done earned here. Okay? I have been earning this for Michael Jordan for years and he gets the last shot. And I’m supposed to step inside and let Kukoc get in there? [Scoffs.] Do you understand English? Oh. Okay. Exactly.

It's clear the Bulls legend still has some hurt feelings over Jackson's decision to go to Kukoc in that spot. It's somewhat understandable given Pippen was an MVP candidate that season, but almost 30 years has gone by since it happened.

Of course, we know these guys keep these slights with them for a long time (see: Michael Jordan), so it's probably no surprise that Pippen is still mad about this.
