The most controversial play of Scottie Pippen's career came in the second round of the 1994 postseason. With the score tied at 102 in the final seconds of Game 3 against the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson drew up the final shot for rookie forward Toni Kukoc, and Pippen was so upset by the decision that he removed himself from the game. Kukoc made the shot, but with Pippen still upset over Jackson's decision, the Bulls couldn't overcome the Knicks and lost in six games.
