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 DESCRIPTIONThis 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.

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.

Design Hazard
Size: Medium, Style: Bacon, Size: Medium, Style: Bacon
I have one of these in a larger version I picked up at the petstore. This one I do not recommend. There is a whole in the center where the pet bites down and my doggies' teeth kept getting stuck in it. If you've ever had a toy get stuck in your pups mouth, you've seen how thet go nuts trying to get it out.

Cane Corso approved
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
I have two Cane Corsos, One is 80 pounds the other is 120 pounds. They can seriously destroy some toys very easily. These chewies have actually lasted for over six months at this point, which is pretty much miraculous. I bought them some more just so I always had plenty of them laying around as this discourages them from getting into trouble, chewing things they shouldn’t be chewing. They walk around with these and their mouths all the time and even after all these months, the squeakers still work. These are really high-quality and if you have a dog that just destroys toy toy, I highly recommend these. Even though they’ve had these for months, they go back to them to chew on and play with , it’s also really funny because they walk around with one and hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they’ve got a stogie hanging out of their mouth. If these toys can keep the interest and survive being mauled by these two giant Destructo mutts, then they must be really, really tough. I highly recommend these for super chewers. These even a hold up to having one dog, grab each end and then play tug-of-war with it. These guys can Easily go through A cow huff every day, but these toys are still going strong
