Triunfando en la NBA: Scottie Pippen

Rarely in the different sports, and more so in basketball , you can see that for physical or athlete's own abilities, can play different roles to perfection within a team.

One of the largest in the history of the NBA , which has not only coped with this difficulty but it takes a well deserved place as one of the best players ever, has been the unrivaled Scottie Pippen .

With its 2.1 meters high and weighing 95 kilograms, has played mostly small forward, but has managed to play in different positions making, along with Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman , a trident too dangerous for their rivals.

His first steps were taken at the University of Central Arkansas, a university less than, but for his very good performance (achieving an average of 7.9 points, 3.8 rebounds) were not high expectations for its jump to the professional leagues.

However, it was signed in 1987 by the Seattle Supersonics , leaving a short tenure in the franchise until Jerry Krause, director of operations for Chicago Bulls , he decided to take him to Arkansas.

He began with a run up to be a perfect complement to Michael Jordan, then a true team leader in 1993 (after the first withdrawal of "Air" ) and reaching to be the best player in the All-Star Game .

In 1998, after endless glory fill the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets moved to Charles Barkley , who had a bad relationship that ended up forcing him to leave the team.

Finally, after a step-by Portland Trail Blazers, he returned to Chicago Bulls in 2004, retiring from the court on December 9, 2005, which was decided by popular vote also retire his number 33 (as on 23 Jordan, among others)
