Scottie Pippen – The Best Defensive Forward the NBA has Seen in the Last 25 years
Let’s face it – Scottie Pippen is the best defensive forward the NBA has seen since I was born (1982). In his Hall of Fame speech, Dennis Rodman said that Jordan and Pippen were the best 1-2 duo ever to play the game. And he played in an amazingly talented era.

Is it just me, or could the political system in the US use a massive influx of non-salesmen/women? I’m tired of hearing candidates sell crap they can’t deliver to the American people. On a list of dumbest quotes politicians have ever muttered publicly, this has got to be near the top of the list.
12 Business Lessons Worth Reading
Here’s a great article on The 12 Most – The 12 Most Important Business Lessons You’ll Only Hear from a Mentor. I particularly love this one: 9. Surround Yourself with People Who Give a S _ _ t Some of us are “lucky” enough to constantly supported and influence by people who care.
