Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and High School Years College Years at the University of Central Arkansas Scottie's NBA Career Pippen's Personal Life Scottie Pippen's Impact on Basketball Pippen's Most Memorable Moments Pippen's Legacy & Future An excerpt from the book: Tom and Jerry. Lone Ranger and Tonto. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Batman and Robin. Jordan and Pippen. It's hard to describe a man who many have believed was a mere sidekick to Michael Jordan. However, like Jerry, Tonto, Dr. Watson, and Robin, Scottie Pippen also established a name for himself in the game of basketball. Most of his career happened in the shadows of Jordan and people fail to realize that without Pippen, Chicago potentially would not have created the wining Bulls dynasty. Pippen once said, "Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team." He not only came to grips with his role, but embraced it, quietly racking up impressive statistics while giving his teammates the spotlight. The 6-time NBA Champion and all-leader in steals and assists among forwards, is one of the most versatile players in NBA history. Although Pippen averaged over 20 points a game along with 7 rebounds, he was continually overshadowed by the shooting guard god, Jordan. It wasn't until Pippen was charged with guarding Magic Johnson in the 1991 NBA Finals that everyone began to take notice and see Pippen in his own right. The world soon began to uncover the mystery surrounding Pippen's rise to fame in the basketball world. In the height of his prime, Pippen made 10 consecutive All-NBA First Defensive teams, and was only one of three NBA players to record 200 steals and 100 blocks in a single season. He was known to block the lanes of opposing teams with his unusually long wingspan (2.2m) and jumping ability. Coach Phil Jackson once described him as a "one man wrecking crew." His tireless work ethic and selfless playing style often resulted in him leading the Bulls in blocks and assists. He finished 23rd in all-time assists in his career. Pippen is truly one of the league's greatest treasures and few players in NBA history have actually matched his versatility. He was an incredibly unique player. On defense, he combined his height with strength and athleticism and there was no area he didn't excel in.
