Publisher Simon & Shuster had more details:

“In Unguarded, the soft-spoken, six-time champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist finally opens up to offer pointed and transparent takes on Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Isiah Thomas, 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.”

According to the description on the publisher’s website, Pippen claims to have been the “real” leader in the Bulls locker room and discusses the 1994 playoff game vs. the New York Knicks when he took himself out with 1.8 seconds left.
