Sports journalist Dan Patrick interviewed NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen over the comments he made during his GQ interview. One of Pippen's bombshell remarks came when he claimed Phil Jackson's famous decision to draw up a last-second play for Toni Kukoc instead of him was racially motivated.

"I don't think it's a mystery, you need to read between the fine lines. It was my first year playing without Michael Jordan, why wouldn't I be taking that last shot?" Pippen said to GQ. "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. I felt like it was an opportunity to give [Kukoc] a rise. It was a racial move to give him a rise. After all I've been through with this organization, now you're gonna tell me to take the ball out and throw it to Toni Kukoc? You're insulting me. That's how I felt."

When speaking to Dan Patrick, Pippen doubled down on his comments when Patrick challenged him on his claims. When Patrick told Pippen that calling Jackson's decision "a racial move" insinuates that the legendary coach is a racist, Pippen said, "I don't got a problem with that," before confirming his belief that Jackson is a racist.

"I mean, do you remember Phil Jackson left the Lakers, went and wrote a book on Kobe Bryant, and then came back and coached him? I mean, who would do that? You name someone in professional sports that would do that, you know? I think he tried to expose Kobe in a way that he shouldn't have," Pippen added. "You're the head coach. You're the guy that sits in the locker room and tells players, 'This is a circle and everything stays within the circle, because that's what team is about.' But you as the head coach, open it up, and now you go out and you try to belittle, at that time, probably one of the greatest players in the game."

Despite Patrick's attempts to defend Jackson, Pippen brought up the fact that he played for the coach and was around him when cameras and media weren't around.
