How could it have been rehearsed as Pippen said? Unless the entire game was scripted out and they knew at half time that the score would be that and they would be in this position to rehearse that exchange between Kerr and Jordan for the purposes for publicity and the story? That's really the only way they could actually have rehearsed that and pulled it off. That doesn't even make sense.
I think Pippen's point was that the scenes on the bench and everything going on with cameras on the bench and behind the scenes was consciously planned and scripted for Jordan's production.
It doesn't mean what actually played out on the court was scripted, more that it actually played out well for that part of what Jordan had said to Kerr on the bench.
If as Pippen said, Stockton had not dropped down off of Kerr then the play would have played out differently and that Bench footage would not have been the big thing it became.
