Charles Barkley, Steve Kerr & Isiah Thomas SLAM Bulls Fans For Booing Jerry Krause and his Wife

[@sandramayes3884]

Chuck also called out Jordan Pippen and Rodman for not turning up

[@cliffiez4540]

They won't turn up because they were chased away from the franchise by Krause and later Paxson. I am actually very surprised Phil Jackson even showed up. To have all the star dynasty players feel ostracized from the team and city, and to put that little toxic troll up in front of a bunch of drunken fans who watch a crappy team ever since her husband destroyed it.

It's not their fault. The fans need to have some respect for someone deceased regardless. Especially knowing the widow is there already in pain. I wouldn't shit on someone I hates wife. They have nothing to do with it.

[@jwg7993]

MJ, Pippen, and other team members refused to show up. They could have set things right, but were selfish. By accountable, I don’t mean financially, but rather morally. To do a widow like that is despicable.

[@MrT67]

​​@@user-bp9xp9ev5vIt might not have happened if MJ had bothered to show up. This is what happens when a prick like Jordan holds grudges all his life; fans follow suit. MJ might arguably be the greatest player if all time, but he's an ass. What now? Is he going to continue to hold grudges against people like Charles Barkley also and go to his grave without making peace? Life's too short. Everyone makes mistakes in life and Jordan is no different. Obviously the NBA is a high pressure environment, so the capacity for mistakes is magnified. But these guy's playing days are long gone. Why not move on? Chuck made mistakes big time, but he reinvented himself. Zeke was highly controversial, but he has done his best to make amends. Jordan will end his days surrounded by sycophants, ass kissers, etc. But how many will be his true friends? I've lost any respect that I had for Jordan and Bulls fans are the worst. This will taint their organisation for a long, long time.

Credit should be given to Krause for putting the team together. It wouldn't happen if not for the decisions Krause made. Like how MJ and Pippen didn't like Krause bringing in Toni Kukoc but that was the right move and Kukoc was important to the 2nd 3peat. The problem with all the issue with the Bulls is people feeling under-appreciated and disrespected. Krause felt Phil isolated him from the players, he wasn't respected by MJ and given the due credits. MJ felt Krause disrespected him. Pippen upset at the contract and being under-appreciated in the Last Dance documentary from MJ. I hope everyone come to realize that all of them are essential pieces to win those 6 championships, building that Bulls dynasty in the 90s.

[@cliffiez4540]

They NEVER should have rolled out his widow. Jerry Krause wanted to break apart the Bulls after the 4th championship and spent two seasons bad mouthing MJ, Pippen & Phil Jackson. He was booed at the championship rallies so he stopped going. Whoever dragged his poor widow out there had zero awareness about how hated he was and is in Chicago. He took one of the greatest dynasties that happened in a sports town starved for championships and turned them into the 3rd tier team. Krause was so sure he could break up the team and build another one. Yet he pissed off so many players and coaches around the league nobody wanted to play or coach here. He NEVER won a playoff game without MJ. Then when he retired in shame, and the attendance returned at the United Center, they installed his Minions GarPax and we all know what happened there. Chicago will always hate Jerry Krause. The Reinsdorks will never accept that and will always laud Jerry Krause as a messiah and ignore the fact that his behavior alienated the entire city and fans. Riensdorks should apologize publicly for bringing that poor woman out there for that kind of treatment.
