I recently rewatched the last dance and while Krause was wrong to drive out Phil Jackson, the man is arguably the 2nd most important reason the bulls have 6 titles. Krause brought in Pippen and Horace Grant which helped the Bulls during the first 3 peat and brought back Phil for the last year and got them another ring. The man isn’t even alive all those boos were absorbed by his poor widow who did nothing wrong. Bulls fans deserve the sorry ass team they have now and will be lucky if they ever win another ring

[@laurocoman]

The documentary ends on the note about Jerry wanting to rebuild the team and letting the old guard go, but it builds him up and gives him credit where it's due during several episodes. The Last Dance is not the problem. These crowd could have clinged to any part of it and they focused on the one segment that doesn't favour Krause.

What have we become as a society where a man, posthumously represented by his wife and children, gets booed? This is shameful on every level. What a disgrace to human decency. Do better Chicago fans!

I look at Jerry Krause's wife's face, when he was being honored for something and the crowd was booing him even though he's dead. Because of some of his actions, his wife paid for it.

Some of the fans at the game were classless. Jerry Krause built the roster to win those championships. As a fan born and raised in Chicago that lived through the era it was an amazing time. There was a tension that spilled over into the media in regards to the Phil and Scottie against Jerry. We all knew that Jerry wanted Phil gone and us as fans were hurt because MJ stated that he only stays if Phil stays. That crushed alot of fans.

[@breauxcewayne1971]

He broke up the team and got rid of Phil Jackson after they had just won their 6th championship so he could start a rebuild. The Bulls haven’t won a championship since and haven’t even made the Finals. There’s no guarantees in rebuilding so why break up a team that could have possibly won it again the following year. Jordan said it best that team deserved the right to defend their championship and let a team beat them first. He told Phil Jackson before the start of the 6th championship season that he can go 82-0 and he still won’t be back as coach of the Bulls. He already decided to fire a coach who’s won 5 championships a year in advance before he ended winning a 6th championship makes absolutely no sense. So the animosity is understandable HOWEVER the man has passed away so no need to boo a man who’s passed away and to your point he put together the dynasty so he deserves credit as well. Especially don’t view his widow. If the ones who booed knew he passed away and knew his widow was in attendance then shame on them.

Steve Kerr in the past two years has essentially put the Warriors in positions to fail night in and night out. He has failed to recognize our shortcomings this offseason and did not encourage Dunleavy to invest into height. This season has been a nightmare for us and this may be how he leaves the Dubs, on a really bitter note. When Steve Kerr returns to Chase Center years after he has left the organization, every single warriors fan should be on their feet trying to get as loud as possible. This man has given me alongside the rest of dub nation some of our best memories associated with basketball. I will forever be grateful for all he has done for us he has long ago cemented himself as a Warriors legend. I would be completely embarrassed and livid if any of our core throughout the years is treated the way that Mr. and Mrs. Krause we’re treated last night in Chicago. That’s despicable. Hopefully she forgives them and returns to an incredible ovation to from the Bulls fans who know that this was wrong.

Up until about 15 years ago this would have never happened at a special moment like this. Krause’s wife is a grieving widow and something like this would only set her back. It probably took a lot of effort and energy for her to work up the courage to come out for the evening and have her late husband honored. After hearing all of the boos it most likely upset her a great deal. I lost my Dad 11 years ago and my Mom still has difficult days and days where she doesn’t feel like going anywhere. When we do get her out she has to muster up a lot of effort and courage. Heaven forbid any of these booing fans ever lose a spouse or a parent. Then they will be in her shoes. Despicable

Be honest with yourself here…Krause could’ve won them 15 championships and people will be booing and blaming him for not winning 16. This society is a joke.

[@nakamstejoguizo]

This disrespect started with MJ. That guy accused Jerry krause of all problems. Fun fact after Krause Jordan never won again. Even as a GM or owner Jordan never won again. Michael Jordan should be the first to recognise Jerry krause

[@supernotnatural]

Yeah, because MJ was like 40 years old you GENIUS. Back then, 35 years old age was like 45 years old today. Secondly, without Scottie hitting his prime, MJ never won shit and Jerry Krause made everything hard for Scottie. You really have no idea. Better to not talk about the decade that you weren't even born at kid.

To be fair, it’s going to be tough for Bulls fans to start cheering for Krause…being he’s the primary reason the Bulls team broke up. It will only take MJ’s plea for people to start appreciating Krause for Bulls fans to change.

hes also the main reason mj got any help and could win any rings, like its 25 years later and the man died and yall still hold a grudge?

[@tristancampbell4941]

Doing that to a person memorable in your organization? You would need a Donald Sterling-level of reason. A Karl Malone-level of reason (Especially for a man who's deceased). Do you think that overwhelmingly negative response was partially due to "The Last Dance" documentary? This wouldn't be the first instance of a person/group of persons feeling upset or getting disrespected because of it. And I felt that it wasn't even supposed to put those in the organization down; I felt like it was to show how impossibly difficult it is to keep the business and its employees above water for as long as possible. At least for the fans that weren't alive to see that full Bulls championship run.

[@JohnAlbinius]

Fuck Jerry, I ain't gonna be punk'd by d bag media people who suck others souls for a story or any other shit. They mad, and I am loving it.

[@nassers599]

MJ showed if they would have give the keys of the Franchise to him, if it would be like nowadays where players play an instrumental role in decisions, the bulls would have won nothing. He would be a great player with no success. He can't win sh*t as a GM. So he should be thankful to Krause. Thanks to Krause MJ is considered and rightfully so to be the goat. Otherwise it would be LeGM. Circumstances also define your legacy.

[@tanni3778]

GM MJ cant even do things right with Charlotte Hornets. That only tells us that Krause was right, Org wins championships not just players. Give Krause his credit. He built one of the best team in NBA history.

[@FactsoverFeelings94027]

Their hate for Krause is stronger than their love for his widow. These are the facts.

To see his wife having to go through that was sad, and heartbreaking, she definitely didn't deserve that! But I have to say, why isn't anyone placing the blame where it really belongs? The person to blame is Jordan himself! Jordan never hid his disdain or dislike for Jerry Krause, and the fans know that! And we all know, no matter what, the fans are going to get behind Jordan!!

Its official Bulls fans have overtaken Raptors wishing n praying for opponent injuries as the most classless fans in the NBA

[@80teg]

The 2 are not even close to being the same: - Raptors cheered a steal and fast break, which happened to be because of KD tearing an achilles - Bulls fans who were at that game KNEW FOR A YEAR that tonight was the ring of honor night, and KNEW Krause was dead, and (like every other honored dead) KNEW HIS FAMILY WOULD BE THERE ON HIS BEHALF.

[@JohnAlbinius]

Not a bulls fan but people are allowed to like and dislike who they want, YOUR organization put you on that stand, YOU put yourself in the street for any and all love, hate it don't matter. Call people classless or whatever you need to, they'll keep booing and doing what they want. FUCK JERRY
