Scottie Pippen agrees with Stephen A. Smith that NBA players shouldn't wear hoodies on the bench.
The Chicago Bulls legend took part in a brief debate with Tracy McGrady on the subject before joining ESPN host Rachel Nichols on Wednesday's episode of "The Jump," explaining how, from a fan perspective, he wants to be able to see the players.
Smith went on a rant recently about Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith wearing a hoodie on the bench, saying it might remind white fans of the fatal 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin.
