Reinsdorf bought into some warped reality that Krause was some savant that could build championships. fukk them both for how they treated this team on their way out
I didn't see the entire ceremony.

Was Reinsdorf there and if he was, did he receive the loudest boo of the night? If he didn't, that's bizarre, cuz 25 years after everything ended, fans still line his pockets and fill that arena 20K deep every night despite Reinsdorf always treating the Bulls even after their peak as 2nd best.

he wasn’t there, but Jerry Reinsdorf, like Krause, stays getting booed at any public fan appearance since the championship parades. It’s basically a tradition

and this is really on Bulls brass IMO. they should have known this reaction was coming. the fact that they planned this event only 6 weeks ago says everything needed to be said. a well functioning organization plans something like this a year in advance with meticulous detail

Garbage.
Shameful GOAT city cosplayed as NY & Philly for the night
Even NY and Philly probably wouldn't do this. Yes in real time active legends will get booed but a retired/dead one? Nah.
"that's not Chicago. that's New York, Philly, not Chicago we're not like that" :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol:


Toronto fans were ready to assault DeMar's daughter last season because of a play-in loss. Every single fanbase is ready to boo or cross the line when they're not happy, has nothing to do with city or sport.
See the above. Being over the top with an active player =/= booing a dead man being honored.

And it's not every single fanbase, it's generally cold weather cities that go this hard.

This is classless. Making an old lady cry and while Jerry Krause is not well liked his front office savvy helped get the Bulls 6 rings.
Well this is what happens when you put out a propaganda documentary that elevates one man while denigrating many of his teammates and the GM.

Nuance is lost and people are made out to be villains and all the good they did is forgotten

Blaming this on a documentary is a cop out .

Chicago hated him while he was alive. Everyone knew this. Organization basically set up a situation to take a shyt on itself by putting her out there.

Lane Kiffin won 2 titles at Alabama, they can in no way shape or form hold a Lane Kiffin appreciation night in Tuscaloosa.

Is it fair to her, no. But you know the situation, it is what it is.

THIS is the man whose memory ya’ll are defending by the way


He added, "When Michael pushed back, Jerry told him that management had made the decision because he was 'their property', an unfortunate gaffe that alienated Michael and tainted his relationship with Krause from that day forward."

Nobody shedding tears for Krause and his delusion. And Reinsdorf enabled it (the way he gets off scott free seemingly is weird).

Ownership/front office 100% didn't read the room.

And while Krause was a fukkboi thinking he was more important than what he was, he does deserve his ring of honor achievement. Wanting to honor him while everyone else was inducted wasn't wrong either. Introducing her first before announcing his name might have been a better move as everyone would've seen an elderly widow there and would've toned it done at the beginning. Still the crowd lightened up when they saw her and clapped accordingly.
