Scottie Pippen Rewind The Commercials

With the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame recently inducting former Chicago Bulls great Scottie Pippen into their hallowed halls of greatness, what better time to give one of the NBAs Top 50 Players of All Time his very own multi-part, weekly Player Rewind Series. Scottie was the antithesis of the 5 tool player with supreme abilities to handle the rock, score when needed, or play lock-down defense on virtually any player on the floor. Although he will forever be labeled a sidekick to the great Michael Jordan in their magnificent run in winning 6 NBA Titles, Scottie was undoubtedly a great man on and off the court from his humble beginnings in Hamburg, Arkansas to Olympic Gold Medalist, and eventually as a standard of greatness that many players of todays game continue to strive for. Hopefully this series will serve to educate the youngsters about one of the greatest defensive players ever, while at the same time helping to reminisce on just how spectacular a player the man know as Pip really was.
Part 5 The Commercials
The age old issue remains of whether playing alongside the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan actually helped or hurt Scottie Pippens career. Even though it was doubtful that Pippen would have won 6 World Titles, one area that definitely helped being paired professionally with perhaps the most marketable NBA player of all-time in Jordan was the relm of commercials and endorsements. While weve already covered some of the many shoes Pippen sported in Part 4, lets take a look at some of his more memorable commercials and endorsements he started to accumulate towards the middle and latter parts of his career.
One of the first commercials to feature Pippen, along with good friend and fellow Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, circa 1992, was this cheesy ad for Coca-Cola where Barkley and Pippen play a game of one-on-one. I remember it mostly for Pippens amazing accuracy when shooting a quarter right into the vending machine coin slot and it then spitting out 2 bottles of Coke(that and Barkley being in great shape).

Also in 92, Pippen started to appear in some pretty horrible sneaker ads like this one for the Nike Air Flight IIs. It was a spoof on the old black-and-white Twilight Zone television show, where Scottie continuously dunks over nerdy white guys in glasses titled Time Warp.

In 1997, Scottie teamed with Grant Hill, then of the Detroit Pistons to make this adorable McDonalds commercial with children, to hock their famous Chicken McNuggets (which were only $2.99 for a 20 piece):

Of course, like all big time athletes, Scottie eventually got his very own chance to tell the world that Anything less would be uncivilized for this Right Guard ad in 98.

But my favorite has to be this spot where Pippen teamed up with Hakeem Olajuwon for a VISA Gold Card ad where the Dream Team was in Spain for the 92 Olympics. After Olajuwon offers to treat all other competing teams for lunch, Scottie shows some comic relief by informing the Dream they were only supposed to meet for lunch. Pippens expression makes the whole video watch-able.

Break Barrel Air Rifle | All Things That Are Good

Pyramyd Air For All Your Air Rifle Needs

I Love My Break Barrel Air Rifle

A Short History of the Break Barrel Air Rifle

Air guns represent the oldest pneumatic firearms technology.

The oldest existing mechanical airgun, a bellows airgun dating back to about 1580, is in the Livrustkammaren Museum in Stockholm.

This is the time pegged as the beginning of the modern airgun.

Air rifles have come a long way since then.

A very long way.

My First Break Barrel Air Rifle Was A Gamo Shadow

Spring Mechanism Of Air Gun

Spring-piston air guns are able to achieve muzzle velocities near or greater than the speed of sound (1,126 ft/s) from a single stroke of a cocking lever or the barrel itself.

The difficulty of the cocking stroke is usually related to the power of the air rifle or gun, with higher muzzle velocities requiring greater effort.

Spring-piston air guns operate by means of a coiled steel spring-loaded piston contained within a compression chamber, and separate from the barrel.

Cocking the airgun causes the piston assembly to compress the spring until a small hook on the rear of the piston engages the sear.

Pulling the trigger releases the sear and allows the spring to decompress, pushing the piston forward, thereby compressing the air in the chamber directly behind the pellet.

Once the air pressure has risen enough to overcome any static friction and/or barrel restriction holding the pellet, the pellet moves forward, propelled by an expanding column of air.

All this takes place instantly, during which the air heats to several hundred degrees and then cools as the air expands.
