Shaquille O?Neal recalls upon NBA?s most ?Disrespectful? dunk

During Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Scottie Pippen made history for all the wrong reasons. It was 1994 and the Chicago Bulls were in a contest with the New York Knicks. The Bulls were missing their MVP, Michael Jordan. MJ had then already announced his retirement and was trying his hand at minor-league baseball.

Without Jordan, the pressure of winning fell on Pippen?s shoulders. And he succumbed to it.?

The Bulls won the match but lost all respect.

During the game, Pippen dunked the most ?disrespectful? shot in the history of the NBA. When Pippen leaped for the winning basket, he ended up dunking over this 11x NBA All-star, Patrick Ewing.

As a result, the Knicks? MVP felt disrespected at the Chicago Stadium, that too in front of over eighteen thousand spectators. Because of Pippen?s leap shot, Ewing was shoved down onto the floor.
