Asked whether there was resentment from other Bulls players over Pippen’s decision, Kerr said, “No, not at all.” “Everyone respected Scottie so much,” Kerr said. “We felt his frustration.

Later, we all understood, let’s give him his space, and he’s going to be there for the second stretch of the season for us.”
