About the Book

Esta biografía, más parecida a una firme "cátedra" (The New York Times), de manos del doblemente medallista olímpico y estrella del Salón de la Fama de la NBA, revela cómo Scottie Pippen, el más joven de doce hermanos, superó dos tragedias familiares y la indiferencia absoluta de los buscadores de talentos universitarios para convertirse en un componente esencial de la más grande dinastía del basquetbol en los últimos cincuenta años.

Con buena razón se ha reconocido a Scottie Pippen como uno de los mejores jugadores de la NBA.

En pocas palabras, sin Pippen no habría banderas de campeonato --y mucho menos seis-- colgando de las vigas del United Center. No existiría el documental Last Dance. No habría "Michael Jordan" como lo conocemos. El equipo de los Toros de Chicago de la década de 1990 no existiría como tal.

Entonces, ¿cómo es que el más joven de doce hijos pasó de crecer en la pobreza en el pequeño pueblo de Hamburg, Arkansas, lidiando con dos tragedias familiares en el camino, a convertirse en una leyenda reverenciada de la NBA? ¿Cómo fue que el adolescente flacucho, ignorado por todos los programas importantes de basquetbol colegial, terminó siendo el quinto en la selección global del Draft de la NBA en 1987? Y quizá lo más contundente sea cómo fue que Pippen hizo a un lado su ego (y su propia cúspide profesional ilimitada) para que los Toros se convirtieran en la dinastía más dominante del basquetbol en el último medio siglo.

En Sin defensa, el seis veces campeón y dos veces medallista de oro olímpico se abre para ofrecer una mirada aguda y transparente sobre Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson y Dennis Rodman, entre otros. Pippen detalla cómo se retorcía por ser etiquetado el segundón de Jordan, y comenta cómo hubiera podido recibir (y debería haber recibido) más respeto de parte de la administración de los Toros y los medios.

Pippen revela historias nunca antes contadas sobre algunos de los juegos más famosos en la historia de la liga, incluyendo el juego de playoffs de 1994 contra los Knicks de Nueva York, cuando se salió por decisión propia faltando 1.8 segundos en el reloj. Comenta cómo fue lidiar con Jordan día a día, a la par que servía de facilitador de la ofensiva y ancla de la defensa.

Pippen finalmente les da a los adorados millones de fanáticos del basquetbol lo que tanto desean: una mirada sin adornos, "cuidadosa e inusualmente modesta" de su vida y su papel en uno de los principales y más populares equipos de todos los tiempos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This unflinching "master class" (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.

Scottie Pippen has been called one of the greatest NBA players for good reason.

Simply put, without Pippen, there are no championship banners --let alone six-- hanging from the United Center rafters. There's no Last Dance documentary. There's no "Michael Jordan" as we know him. The 1990s Chicago Bulls teams would not exist as we know them.

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?

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 Jordan's sidekick and discusses how he could have (and should have) received more respect from the Bulls' management and the media.

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.

Pippen is finally giving millions of adoring basketball fans what they crave; an unvarnished, "closely observed, and uncommonly modest" (Kirkus Reviews) look into his life and role within one of the greatest, most popular teams of all time.
About the Author: SCOTTIE PIPPEN jugó diecisiete temporadas en la NBA, ganando seis campeonatos y dos medallas de oro olímpicas. Fue honrado como uno de los 50 mejores jugadores de la historia de la NBA en 1996.

MICHAEL ARKUSH ha escrito o coescrito quince libros. Se desempeñó anteriormente como redactor de plantilla en Los Angeles Times.
