Scottie Pippen accused his former NBA coach Phil Jackson of being a racist on Monday in the latest of act of candor from the Basketball Hall of Famer.

While appearing on “The Dan Patrick” Show, Pippen was asked about recent comments he made to GQ, in which he said Jackson made a “racial move” by not giving him the last-second shot in a 1994 playoff game against the Knicks.

“By saying a racial move, then you’re calling Phil a racist,” Patrick asked Pippen. “I don’t got a problem with that,” Pippen replied, to which Patrick followed up, “Do you think Phil was or is (a racist)?”

Scottie Pippen had no heart. He was a total pussy on the court. The Bad Boys were famous for their “Jordan Rules” but they also had the “Pippen Rule”, not as well known, and that was to give Pippen a hard foul as soon as possible, then give him another and he was usually finished for the game after that. Michael Jordan didn’t cry about the Jordan Rules, he went out and battled the Bad Boys on the court like a true competitor does, Pippen didn’t deserve to be on the same court as MJ, or Isaiah, or Dumars, or Laimbeer, or Rodman, etc...etc.... Pippen can go to hell, he’s always been a total scumbag.

And, by virtue of the accusation Phil Jackson is guilty.

Scottie Pippen ? Sounds like a Dog Breed, but you are the REAL RACIST, just like most of your kind

What’s next. Is Bill Russell going to denounce Red Auerbach?

Agreed. You could visualize how race likely played that kind of a role in why it took the Boston Red Sox from 1918 to 2004 to finally win a World Series (the so called “Curse of Ruth) as it took them until about 1959 to finally sign their first black player (Pumpsie Green) when they could have had both Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays that few years earlier.

Leftist dogma these days is that all white people are racist.

Hi.

I accuse Pat Riley and Red Auerbach of racism.

Ooops.

Sheesh, this shit has got to stop.

Next thing you know the Dodgers and Branch Rickey are the next racists that needs to be cancelled.

Oh, he’s dead, never mind.

Oh wait...

Maybe Jackson was worried that Pippen would suddenly get a debilitating migraine right before taking the final shot.

What did 23 think of this?


I’d be curious as to what Rodman would think of this.

Scottie just slipped loads in my books—for a player as good as he is to continually be second fiddle would be tough, and I had always admired him for it.

I’d bet there is a decent chance that Rodman would tear a strip off of Scottie.

And if all white people, in their eyes, must wear their dogma, some might say, “What the hell, I might as well earn the label.”

I don’t see a good end to this stupidity.

Scottie Pippen is a thug who was arrested in January 1994 for possession of an illegal weapon:

“Isn’t Phil a commie?”

Maybe a rich bourgeois commie.

Scottie is angry because he signed a long term deal and would have made much more if he waited.

Maybe Phil urged him to sign that long term deal for security. It made Pippen one of the lowest paid best players of his generation.

He’s lashing out.

Wonder if Scottie ever realized the Knicks probably expected him to get the last shot and worked their defense against him??? Jackson worked a play to where a less known player would get a great opportunity to make the shot and he did...

Smart coaching...
