Enduring basketball legends like Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Penny Hardaway and many others will step onto the court for what is sure to be a thrilling showdown.  Scottie Pippen is best known for helping lead the Chicago Bulls, together with teammate Michael Jordan, to a league-dominating six NBA championships in the 1990s. The seven-time All Star was selected as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history in 1996 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010. An Olympian for Team USA as well as a professional athlete, Pippen won gold medals at both the 1992 Olympic Games as a member of the original Dream Team, and again in 1996. Dennis Rodman, on the other hand, is known as much for his flamboyant style as for his on-the-court expertise. While many disliked his tattoos, dyed hair and unapologetic attitude, there was no denying his defensive prowess, as he led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record-setting seven consecutive seasons from 1991 to 1998. He was twice selected as NBA Defensive Player of the Year, in 1990 and 1991. After helping the Detroit Pistons win two back-to-back NBA titles, he later joined Pippen and Jordan’s Bulls to win three consecutive NBA championships. Rodman was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.                                                               Tickets for US Pro-Ball Legend Asia Tour 2011 – Macao go on sale on Thursday December 1, 2011 at 10 am, on the first floor of Sands® Macao and at the CotaiArena box office at The Venetian Macao.
