Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen explains why he sat out the final 1.8 seconds as Toni Kukoc hit a game-winning shot in the 1994 playoffs: ‘You’re insulting me. That’s how I felt.’

“I don’t think it’s a mystery, you need to read between the fine lines,” Pippen told GQ. “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.”
