Scottie Pippen Bücher

This unflinching memoir from a two-time Olympic gold medalist and NBA Hall of Famer recounts how Scottie Pippen, the youngest of twelve, overcame family tragedies and neglect from college scouts to become a vital part of basketball's greatest dynasty. Pippen's significance to the Chicago Bulls is undeniable; without him, there would be no championship banners or the iconic "Last Dance" documentary.

He set aside personal ambitions to help the Bulls achieve unprecedented success. In this candid narrative, Pippen shares his thoughts on Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Dennis Rodman, addressing the challenges of being labeled Jordan's sidekick and the lack of respect from management and media.

Offering an intimate look at his daily interactions with Jordan, Pippen provides basketball fans with a rare glimpse into his life and his essential role in one of the sport's most legendary teams.
