    Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen says Phil Jackson should quit while he's behind.

    The former Chicago Bulls great, speaking Thursday on ESPN's The Jump, rested blame for the recent failures of the New York Knicks squarely on the shoulders of their president while offering sympathy for the plight of All-Star Carmelo Anthony.

    "To be honest with you, I'm gonna have to go at my old coach Phil Jackson," said Pippen, who played under Jackson with the Bulls, won six NBA championships and made seven All-Star teams.

    "I just think he hasn't put the right pieces on the floor. I give a lot of credit to Carmelo, who has been very professional in getting through this 82-game season, and now he's being benched to some degree, they've taken a lot of his minutes away."
