Pippen was advised even by the Bulls owner to not sign that long-term deal, but he was worried about getting hurt and wanted the security. It cost him millions in the long run. But he is not exactly a pauper either.
I was fascinated to learn how poorly Pippen was paid during their hay day. He signed a long term deal as a newbie so he was like the 8th guy on the payroll when Da Bulls got rolling.
I don’t remember him getting hit in the head alot......brain damage would be the only way one could come up with Phil Jackson being racist.
He made over $100 million in the NBA.

Think tens of millions. Phil probably made at least a passing remark, “good for your family’s security” and of course his starting lineup.
Pippen is never getting over that.
