Sometimes, everyone agrees. For example, saying the race of Michael Jordan, the greatest ball with a basketball in his hands, had not been the same if I had not had a squire to the great Scottie Pippen.

Without it, most likely Michael Jordan could not have done with all the rings with which it did. Since her arrival to the NBA in 1987 (for the Sonics, who traded him to the Bulls), Scottie Pippen just missed a playoff in 17 seasons, becoming the second player with the most postseason games played, behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Everyone wondered what would have happened to Scottie Pippen if I had not played together for Air Jordan, and those people had their response after the 1992-1993 season, when Michael Jordan retired. In that season, 1993-94, Scottie Pippen led the Bulls in virtually all sections, both offensive and defensive, and managed to rise with the award for the MVP of the AllStar. After a regular season that ended with a mark of 55-27, the Bulls fell to second round against New York Knicks 4-3.

However, despite being the season that proved not only a good complement, Scottie Pippen entered the controversy by refusing to make the final play of a game against the Knicks. Phil Jackson decided that the final draft it play Tony Kukoc and Scottie Pippen refused to go on the pitch. The funniest thing is that Tony Kukoc scored.

But everything would be forgotten when Michael Jordan returned, along with Dennis Rodman, a force of nature rebound and defense. With them came back to win three NBA rings. After the withdrawal of Jordan and the breakup of the Bulls, Scottie Pippen went to Houston Rockets and later played at Portland Trail Blazers, but lesions were present more than desired. Best of all was that the stars of today could share court with him, like Tracy McGrady or Kevin Garnett, who said in an article that "Scottie Pippen is a player to sit and watch him play. It was an example."

Then, after his retirement, Scottie Pippen was ruined and had to go play for the Nordic countries to earn some money, which is a clear example of what not to do when you have money to waste.

Scottie Pippen will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in the NBA in 2010.
