Overview

Esta biografĆ­a, mĆ”s parecida a una firme ā€œcĆ”tedraā€ (The New York Times), de manos del doblemente medallista olĆ­mpico y estrella del SalĆ³n de la Fama de la NBA, revela cĆ³mo Scottie Pippen, el mĆ”s joven de doce hermanos, superĆ³ dos tragedias familiares y la indiferencia absoluta de los buscadores de talentos universitarios para convertirse en un componente esencial de la mĆ”s grande dinastĆ­a del basquetbol en los Ćŗltimos cincuenta aƱos.

Con buena razĆ³n se ha reconocido a Scottie Pippen como uno de los mejores jugadores de la NBA.
Ā 
En pocas palabras, sin Pippen no habrĆ­a banderas de campeonato ā€”y mucho menos seisā€” colgando de las vigas del United Center. No existirĆ­a el documental Last Dance. No habrĆ­a ā€œMichael Jordanā€ como lo conocemos. El equipo de los Toros de Chicago de la dĆ©cada de 1990 no existirĆ­a como tal.
Ā 
Entonces, ĀæcĆ³mo es que el mĆ”s joven de doce hijos pasĆ³ de crecer en la pobreza en el pequeƱo pueblo de Hamburg, Arkansas, lidiando con dos tragedias familiares en el camino, a convertirse en una leyenda reverenciada de la NBA? ĀæCĆ³mo fue que el adolescente flacucho, ignorado por todos los programas importantes de basquetbol colegial, terminĆ³ siendo el quinto en la selecciĆ³n global del Draft de la NBA en 1987? Y quizĆ” lo mĆ”s contundente sea cĆ³mo fue que Pippen hizo a un lado su ego (y su propia cĆŗspide profesional ilimitada) para que los Toros se convirtieran en la dinastĆ­a mĆ”s dominante del basquetbol en el Ćŗltimo medio siglo.
Ā 
En Sin defensa, el seis veces campeĆ³n y dos veces medallista de oro olĆ­mpico se abre para ofrecer una mirada aguda y transparente sobre Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson y Dennis Rodman, entre otros. Pippen detalla cĆ³mo se retorcĆ­a por ser etiquetado el segundĆ³n de Jordan, y comenta cĆ³mo hubiera podido recibir (y deberĆ­a haber recibido) mĆ”s respeto de parte de la administraciĆ³n de los Toros y los medios.
Ā 
Pippen revela historias nunca antes contadas sobre algunos de los juegos mĆ”s famosos en la historia de la liga, incluyendo el juego de playoffs de 1994 contra los Knicks de Nueva York, cuando se saliĆ³ por decisiĆ³n propia faltando 1.8 segundos en el reloj. Comenta cĆ³mo fue lidiar con Jordan dĆ­a a dĆ­a, a la par que servĆ­a de facilitador de la ofensiva y ancla de la defensa.
Ā 
Pippen finalmente les da a los adorados millones de fanĆ”ticos del basquetbol lo que tanto desean: una mirada sin adornos, ā€œcuidadosa e inusualmente modestaā€ de su vida y su papel en uno de los principales y mĆ”s populares equipos de todos los tiempos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This unflinching ā€œmaster classā€ (The New York Times) of a memoir from two-time Olympic gold medalist and NBA Hall of Famer reveals how Scottie Pippen, the youngest of twelve, overcame two family tragedies and universal disregard by college scouts to become an essential component of the greatest basketball dynasty of the last fifty years.
Ā 
Scottie Pippen has been called one of the greatest NBA players for good reason.
Ā 
Simply put, without Pippen, there are no championship banners ā€”let alone sixā€” hanging from the United Center rafters. Thereā€™s no Last Dance documentary. Thereā€™s no ā€œMichael Jordanā€ as we know him. The 1990s Chicago Bulls teams would not exist as we know them.
Ā 
So how did the youngest of twelve go from growing up poor in the small town of Hamburg, Arkansas, enduring two family tragedies along the way, to become a revered NBA legend? How did the scrawny teen, overlooked by every major collegiate basketball program, go on to become the fifth overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft? And, perhaps most compelling, how did Pippen set aside his ego (and his own limitless professional ceiling) in order for the Bulls to become the most dominant basketball dynasty of the last half century?
Ā 
In Unguarded, the six-time champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist finally opens up to offer pointed and transparent takes on Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Dennis Rodman, among others. Pippen details how he cringed at being labeled Jordanā€™s sidekick and discusses how he could have (and should have) received more respect from the Bullsā€™ management and the media.
Ā 
Pippen reveals never-before-told stories about some of the most famous games in league history, including the 1994 playoff game against the New York Knicks when he took himself out with 1.8 seconds to go. He discusses what it was like dealing with Jordan on a day-to-day basis, while serving as the facilitator for the offense and the anchor for the defense.
Ā 
Pippen is finally giving millions of adoring basketball fans what they crave; an unvarnished, ā€œclosely observed, and uncommonly modestā€ (Kirkus Reviews) look into his life and role within one of the greatest, most popular teams of all time.
