      Krause was the best GM but he still blew it all up out of jealousy. He told a dynasty at their height "I don't care if you go 82-0 and win it all, its over" Krause didn't care how the players, coaches, and fans felt then, why should Chicago care now? MJ didn't even invite Krause to his HOF induction, why would anyone expect Jordan to show up for Krause? Because he's deceased? At the end of the day Krause got what he wanted, everybody left and he received ALL the credit for their failures since. Krause's legacy could've been the best basketball GM of all time but instead he's the GM that built and destroyed the best team all time.... btw I don't think Mrs. Krause deserved any of that, they could've applauded for the victories at least.

    Let's be clear. The people weren't booing Jerry Krause's wife. They were booing the man himself. The boos started at the mention of his name even before they showed her on the screen. I'm a Chicagoan that was present for the dynasty. I lived it in real time. Chicagoans understood what Krause did to build around Jordan. We gave him credit. But we also give him credit for tearing it down the way that he did. Which is why the Krauses have had to deal with this type of reaction for years. The man got booed and heckled everywhere he went. This isn't a product of what was shared in the Last Dance. As a Chicagoan that was actually around to experience the dynasty in the moment, I can say that Stephen A is on point.

    Stephen A is the only out of town person who has a decent take on this subject. We all agree, you don’t boo the man at the ceremony with his wife there. That’s was bad and I feel awful for his widow.
    But the amount of out-of-town stupid I’ve been hearing this week from people who feel like they can lecture Bulls fans on the history of what happened because they watched the Last Dance is comical.
    Stephen A is right. Krause wanted to rebuild after 98. He told Phil you can go 82-0, I don’t care. But what everyone is forgetting is that Krause wanted to break up the team after 1997. He wanted to trade Pippen to Boston for those two lottery picks the Cs had.
    Krause was so desperate to rebuild and prove he could build a contender without Jordan. Yet in the 5 years Krause was still running the team after they were broken up, he couldn’t even get the Bulls back to the playoffs. And it took John Paxson, who replaced Krause, another 2 years to get them there.
    The only thing I agree with Russo on is Reinsdorf. He was the owner and could override any decision by Krause, but he didn’t. He let Krause be his human shield. It was the same thing in the Last Dance. Krause got a lot of criticism, and rightfully so, but Reinsdorf kinda got to skate by, which he shouldn’t have. Reinsdorf is one of the worst owners in sports.

    That's always been the most puzzling Sports story in history to me, " The Last Dance" for a Bulls Team that had won 5 Championships prior to winning the 6th and this Jerry Crouse Guy says " hey that's it, I'm busting this thing up?" Feels like some mob pressure or something that lead to him making that call. Just think, 28 yrs later, not a single championship appearance! Not a Bulls Fan, but it was just crazy that they voluntarily stopped this second best championship run in the history of the NBA.

      Chicago has hated Krause and Reinsdorf for decades for this very reason. It's a weird experience seeing Krause booed again after being booed nonstop for decades and then people from all over the country who haven't paid attention for decades all of a sudden have an opinion.
      No, we don't care that you think we're classless. Why? Because 99% of people commenting on the issue really have no idea what they're talking about.

      @@fuckfuckfuckshit781The difference that you forgot to point out, is that the Ring Of Honor was supposed to be a ceremony honoring all of Bulls history. And yet, people decided to be petty for no reason, and boo a man who died 7 years ago who is no longer around to defend himself. And yet, when they are rightfully called out, all you Bulls fans throw around excuses saying “He broke the team up! They could have won more!” or “We have a right to boo who we want”.
      The Ring Of Honor was not a place to whine about hypotheticals. The Bulls dynasty was broken up 26 years ago. Many Bulls fans were not even alive when it happened. No matter how angry you are about it, at the end of the day, the dynasty still brought home 6 championships and became arguably the greatest team ever. People should focus on the good that came out of everything, not the bad.

    I'm a life long Bulls fan, and I witnessed the 90's era. I do not blame MJ or Pippen for not showing up (their personal beef is a different story for a different thread). Ultimately, Chicago does not need a "Ring of Honor," primarily because they already have enough accolades and the Ring of Honor is essentially a gimmick. Also, the Chicago Bulls fans were not boo'ing Mrs. Krause, they were boo'ing the memory of Jerry as a GM. The only GREAT move Jerry made (in my opinion) was drafting MJ. The Bulls never won a chip before or after MJ played for the team. Yes, Jerry was a decent GM, but pushing out MJ and Phil Jackson before the dynasty was finished is basically unforgivable (as it pertains to sports). I don't know if the Bulls could have won more chips if MJ didn't retire the second time, but we at least wanted to see...Some people are taking this way too personal, it's about the team not the person. I think the media is hyping it up for content as well. Hopefully this news story will eventually fade away with the rest of the largely irrelevant noise of sports media.
