Right or Wrong: Pippen's infamous decision

Kukoč's game-winner shouldn't be a footnote

Everyone knows of Kukoč's game-winner against the Knicks in Game 3 of the 1994 NBA Playoffs because of how Scottie Pippen reacted to the play not being drawn up for him, which is a shame because it was a big-time shot from a player who became an integral part of Chicago's second three-peat of the decade.
