I think you're misremembering. The reason pippen fumed and refused to enter the game was bc the last shot was drawn up for kukoc.
I won't defend that action but I completely understand it. It was finally his time to shine, to quiet people down that thought he was only good bc of a Jordan, and the play is called for kukoc? That was a huge slap in the face. That said he didn't handle himself well - but I get it.
