Bulls GM Jerry Krause went after Kukoc with a big contract and pissed off Jordan and (esp) Pippen, who was underpaid, to the point where they made a mission of shutting him down in Barcelona. They embarrassed Kukoc.
Remember when Pippen wouldn’t go on the court for the final play in a playoff game, because Coach Jackson designed the play for Kukoc to get the ball.

It was during Jordans suspension for gambling, errr...playing baseball.

Yeah I do. It was the same East semifinal series against the Knicks. He'd had a helluva season and felt the ball should be in his hands. I didn't fault Jackson for wanting Kukoc with the ball. He had a better outside shot. I believe he made it, too.

Pippen tossed a chair on the bench. Looked bad doing it.
