University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history’s most compelling figures, Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen is one of the most successful professional athletes of all time and has been named one of the Greatest Players in NBA History. In the 1990s, Pippen and Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships – and quickly turned the NBA into a sterling global brand. Pippen is also the only NBA player to win an NBA championship and an Olympic gold medal in the same year – twice. Born in Hamburg, Arkansas on September 25, 1965, Scottie Maurice Pippen grew up the youngest of 12 children, led his high school basketball team to the state playoffs, made the team at the University of Central Arkansas as a 6 foot 1 inch walk-on, grew to 6 foot 8 inches during his college years, caught the attention of NBA scouts, was selected with the 5th overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft, led the Bulls to their first “three-peat” in 1991-1993, let the Bulls to their second “three-peat” in 1996-1998, was a seven-time NBA All-Star – and the 1994 NBA All-Star Game MVP, and is a two-time inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
