Scottie Pippen is undoubtedly an NBA legend — his six rings, seven All-NBA and 10 All-NBA Defensive Team team selections prove that. However, while Pippen is one of the best players to ever play for the Chicago Bulls, his basketball resume isn't exactly perfect.

That was never clearer than it was during the 1994 Eastern Conference Semifinals. With Michael Jordan retired (for the first time) and playing basketball, Pippen was left to lead a Chicago Bulls team that was just coming off its third championship in three seasons.

Well, Pippen did help lead the Bulls to a solid 55-27 record and a third-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Chicago would skate by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round but found a much tougher opponent in the New York Knicks in the semifinals.

The Knicks would win the first two games, which left Chicago needing to win a pivotal game three at home. With the game tied and 1.8 seconds left, Pippen's reputation would take a dive as the All-Star forward would refuse to take the court on the final play after exchanging heated words with Bulls head coach Phil Jackson.

Chicago would end up winning that game as Toni Kukoc hit the game-winner as time expired.

While Pippen was unquestionably the best player on that team, his teammates like current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr were surprised by his move that night to say the least. Kerr, on the recent episode of ESPN's 10-part documentary, The Last Dance, said:

“We don’t know how to act because Scottie is one of our favorite teammates, one of our favorite people in the world. He quit on us. And we couldn’t believe that happened. It was devastating.”

The Knicks would go on to win that series in seven games, while Pippen would go on to win three more rings with Chicago once Jordan returned.
