- Chicago Bulls were dismantled systematically to satisfy a couple of raging egos. A decade's worth of domination purposely, coldly disassembled in a handful of days.

It was a privilege witnessing the Bulls Dynasty
Totally agree, I wouldn't trade being a 90's kid for the world. It would have been nice to be in my 20's at that time, but it's all good, I still appreciate living through the times.
Jerry tried to show that he could do it without MJ, Scotty, and Phil, and it failed horribly
Indeed
If you weren't alive during this dynasty you missed something extremely special!!!
I was born in 1990 so I would've remembered their last few championships if I had been paying attention. One of my biggest regrets not to.
Growing up watching the Bulls dominate the 90’s was truly something special.
Charles Barkley already addressed this. He said the reason the Bulls broke up was because Reinsdorf didnt want to pay anybody. Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Phil were all up for new contracts after that season. And they wanted top dollar. Reinsdorf didnt want to pay. So it was spun like the situation was Krause's fault when really it was Jerry being too cheap to pay guys their worth.
Thanks for saving us time to know why bro.
same way he runs the White Sox
So why did Krause make it his business to let the entire world know that no matter what happened, the team will not be back?? So Jerry told him to give that emotional jealous speech the way he did??
I believe it was both.
Jerry didn't want to pay, and Krause didn't want the team together anymore.
Thanks for this information bro
He paid Jordan over 30 million in 97 and 98 which was unheard of at the time.
The Bulls could have gotten more than six rings. Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause destroyed the Bulls dynasty with politics and unwarranted animosity towards Phil. SMH.😞
I sucks to not have had a serious title contender for 25 years now, but I would not trade having lived through the Jordan era. I saw 90% of the Bulls games, and no words can describe how special those 90's Bulls teams were.
Those baby Bulls years gave y'all some hope followed by D.Rose.
@@g6686not I never liked D. Rose. He was always soft in every sense of the word - extremely overrated.
The DRose 🌹 Bulls 🐂 were very very very good. His injury 🩸 just wrecked a homegrown kid from fulfilling a city's dream.
@@alecsanderhamilton9224 , even with a healthy Rose, those Bulls teams were never going to get passed Lebron. Trust me, I wanted them to, but I was realistic.
@@silvianosanchez8430 they had a chance. 2012 they had a shot with a healthy DRose 🌹 to beat the 12 HeaT... The 11 Mavs got em and 14 Spurs got em we coulda had em.
How these players and coach made it to championships with destructive Krauss at the helm is astonishing.
Krause got a bad wrap, they don’t win without his moves. He should have just been given more credit & I believe it’s different. He said organizations win championships, which is true but the media ran with it & turned the statement into the front office is the reason they won when all he meant was it took them all .
Closest thing to a guaranteed win I've ever seen in team sports! Brady was close, but football players only play on 1 side of the ball! Jordan dominated on both sides and because of that he dominated the game! All 1 needs to do is watch the last 45 seconds of game 6 of the 98' Finals and you see how he went out! Steal the ball from Karl Malone and go the length of the court and hit the Finals winner with the whole world knowing what's coming! They should have come back to defend until someone beat them in the Finals! It wasn't easy, but MJ was still on top and he held it all together! We'll never know because it ended in 98'!
Yeah, I lived through the whole thing. I just couldn't believe those guys were willing to break up a WINNING team just to prove a point. Well, it's been 25 years and the Bulls are still looking for answers. Not as easy as it looked, huh?
It only took 5 years for Krause to get run out of the league after breaking up the team.
His draft picks and GM moves afterwards were clueless.
He did a great job building around an elite talent, but he clearly thought he was more responsible for the teams success than the greatest player of all time.
@@filho4437TRUE. He made a nice 99-00 foundation of Elton Brand and Ron Artest... But yes, he didnt have that masterful engine 🚂 like Jordan to just make pretty around the soul of the machine.
Brand lasted what two seasons? Artest 3? Then drafted Chandler and Curry? Curry obviously the softer one there. Jalen Rose? Fizer? Heinrich? I think that John Paxson eventually. He started to put together the positive Baby 🍼 Bulls 🐂 after the negative Krause Baby 🍼 Bulls 🐂... Still no Jordan.
Phil went to Lakers, Kobe and Shaq won a 3 peat that's his legacy. MJ left Bulls and went on to become a Billionaire. Bulls and Krauss they never won another championship to date. So the crux of the matter is players with their coach win championships, management must make the players happy by paying their salaries and not meddle in the players and coaches work.
This end was A real tragedy in the world 🌎 🥺
Jerry Krause was absolutely the villain in this one MJ always made height jokes at his expense
And Reinsdorf was always kissing his butt
I lived through it all and i say all time i wouldn't wanna live in any era cuz that mean id miss the chance to witness jordan and bulls
Jerry Krause's enormous ego kept the Bulls from going for a seventh championship.
A bit short sightedness from Reinsdoof as well, Jerry’s fucked their own dynasty beyond all recognition
Reinsdorf is the guy who makes the final decisions. He was a cheap POS who didn't want to pay his players.
@@HeathOverledger: Yep FUBARed👎🥺😲😠🤬
Lol. It amazes me how 90 percent dont blame the owner. You know, the guy who employs Krause. 🙄
Awesome video man
Really appreciate
Keep up the good work
Great job, as always
Jerry Krause operated with a slave owner mindset, telling Jordan "we OWN you" We all know what type of ideology comes behind that statement. So he DESERVES the jokes that were put upon him.
💯
Thank you so much for that.
8:48 without Krause, Jackson wouldn't have coached the Bulls, and likewise without Jackson (or Jordan or Pip) the Bulls wouldn't win championships either. It's a two way relationship.
How would you know what would not happen? A different coach could of came in and took the Bulls to a championship. Or, Mike could of left the Bulls for a different team. No one knows what could of happen just accept what did happen.
AGREE… Jordan wanted to keep Collins as the coach and didn’t want Jackson…
He also didn’t want Tex winters triangle offense philosophy
Krause got Pippin
I love me some Jordan but Jordan and Phil found out QUICK it’s not that easy and simple to build championship teams
The owner and management did the Chicago Bulls Dynasty wrong at the end cuz I think they could have at least won 1 more championship/the lockout season 1998/1999 NBA Season
Awesome work!
3:26 Mike Tyson did not fight in Vegas in June 88 (when Oakley was traded), he had fought earlier that month against Michael Spinks in Atlantic City
Cap Oakley told same story
@@fresh2def23231
1. Go look at the date when Oakley was traded
2. See if Tyson fought in Vegas that month
It's Jerry Krause's fault, he was too sensitive about his height, yes that was the issue, his insecurity about his height, he wanted to show he was the boss (small dude problem)
Small man complex
Thank you. I saw what I have read in Blood on the Horns
Dope video 🔥🔥🔥
masterpiece 🤌
In fairness, I think if Derrick Rose never got hurt and that core of Rose, Deng, Noah, Butler stayed together the Bulls could have won at least one championship. LeBron ruined the league with his super team garbage. Sure, as a kid, I was devastated the Bulls broke that team up. I remember friends back then telling me in late June of 1998 that Phil Jackson isn't the coach anymore and MJ and Pip were leaving for sure, I didn't think much of it. However, in 1998-99 being 13/14 years old, I understood what the tension and ego this Bulls team had. I didn't blame Jordan, Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen for the break-up, but I didn't know how much Krause played a roll in that destruction. I wish the Bulls could have competed for a few more years. I understand the Bulls were one of the oldest teams in the league but the NBA was a slower pace era in the 90s.
I can't entirely blame Krause because in 2000, Krause went after Tim Duncan, Eddie Jones, Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill. But the Bulls needed to get younger and Reinsdorf is a cheap owner not willing to spend. If I was the GM of the Bulls, after 1998, you keep MJ, Scottie and Phil, I would have traded Ron Harper and Scott Burrell to the Lakers for Eddie Jones. Another big move I would make is trading Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman to the Washington Wizards for Chris Webber and Ben Wallace to Chicago. Ben Wallace wasn't near his potential yet because he was under utilized in Washington. Those trades make sense because you give up championship vets for younger talent alongside MJ and Scottie. A team of Longley, Webber, Pippen, Jordan and Eddie Jones would have competed for a championship into the 2000s. But everything happens for a reason, we witnessed another dynasty with Shaq-Kobe and C-Webb was phenomenal in Sacramento with J-Will/Bibby, Peja and Vlade. Ben Wallace would go down as a champion in Detroit and one of the best defensive bigs in NBA history. Eh, a guy can only dream if the Bulls could have retooled that way.
Yeah slower paced in the 00s than the 90s... The league was paced by the old school of the Magic Bird and Jordan eras..They had curated the game to their styles and the Kobe and Garnett eras with their highschool beginnings were kind of constrained and slow to unravel those veteran styles cemented in the league culture by the guys who matter of factly raised the game's profile to challenging Soccer ⚽ as a world 🌎🌍 game... Bird and Magic came into a largely disinterested NBA culture 🧫, allowing them freedom to really smack the league upright and off balance so they could win a few rings while also establishing a sort of style that was their own without earning their stripes before hand but instead instantaneously earning stripes and reprogramming the league in their images... This before the league stabilized to their winning attitudes... Bird says the NBA was different and for real by the 1984 Finals, when the Lakers and Celtics re-engaged horns in the finals🤘 and then Jordan and Olajuwon and Barkley followed in the 84 draft and then came Ewing, & Malone & Dumars and they cemented with Isiah Thomas and Kevin McHale and Dominique Wilkins and Clyde Drexler and James Worthy from pre 84 draft's what the NBA was all of a sudden which was thick with really committed gym rats that loved basketball 🏀 first, cocaine third or fourth, pussy definitely second, but basketball 🏀#1 above all even money 😁💰, and they still had the hybrid old school money mentality middle class mentality, gratefulness and hunger to earn more and innovate more and participate harder, and raise the integrity of the game collectively...
And that lasted strongly that generation from about 84-93 and the scores and the pace was still comparable to the 70's and early 80's... The game started to slow down more from 88-93 but was still fast comparatively to what would become of the mid to late 90's and 2000's up until about 2011 and into the mid 2010's when then Curry and Golden State and Harden and Houston and Durant and OKC ratcheted up the old 88-89 Knicks and D'Antoni and 93-94 Rockets and 94-95 Magic's 3 and paint and run break and gun philosophies... and then the game reopened up to the mid 80's scoring and pace levels then rose higher to early 80's levels and now is on its own journey and competing with the greatest scoring levels in NBA History and moving faster than it ever has...
They really opened it all up... But yes 84-93 saw the shift from wide open, high body movement within the key, transition basketball 🏀 of the Bird and Magic and Isiah and Dr. J and Kareem eras to the back you down, iso, pick and roll, 3 and key Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley, Ewing, Wilkins, Drexler, Robinson eras... Then of course by 91-93 the game had become Jordan's world 🌎🌍 and the next generation were hungry rich kids like SHAQ, Mourning, Coleman, Larry Johnson, Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Kobe and Iverson and you got these guys now expected to right away produce like Jordan in 84 instead of join a big 3 scoring unit like Drexler in 83 had with Vandeghwe and Paxson... The league was paying these high schoolers big moneys 🤑💰 to play and sell sneakers, and highlight reel, and cross you over, and break you down and taunt you on LIVE television 📺 and dunk on you and build individual rivalries 1on1 to plaster two faces of a franchise on pregame introductions and videogames... Sell over and over again, Magic vs Bird, Magic vs Isiah, Isiah vs Jordan, Jordan vs Magic, Jordan vs Drexler, Jordan vs Barkley, Olajuwon vs Barkley, Olajuwon vs Ewing... And the three man weave teams of Alex English and Mark Aguirre and Adrian Dantley were pretty much gone... It was the duo they were packaging as the league expanded and teams talent were spread throughout the league 2 stars, 1 near star, 6th man and role players or 1 star, 2 near stars, 6th man and role players, or 3 near stars, 6th man and role players...
Then the Garnett Danny Ainge save his job deal in 07 inspired the 11 LeBron Big 3 deal that brought back the 3 stars, 3 20 pt scorers on a team ambition. But the league was inspired in the 90's by Jordan and the Bad Boy Pistons so the Knicks, Rockets 3 and key and thick D came into existence and the establishing offense to feed one guy like Jordan in the triangle, K. Malone in the Stockton Sloan yo yo and crossover guard for forward picks motion offenses flourished, the 3 and key Knicks, Spurs, Rockets, Magic, Suns offenses. The eventual Joe Dumars Pistons and Twin Tower 🗼🗼 Spurs pinching offenses to 69-79 ppg when the 91 Bulls and Lakers averaged 105-110 ppg and those were slow championship teams by the standard bearing Magic teams in the 80's.
Yes in 1998, the NBA was Jordan's league. And from about 99-03 it remained his league even without him 3 of those 5 years and 2002 he almost showed it was still his he was that good and the league had not yet evolved past his legendary grip on the game.
Yes Jordan and Chicago could have won 2 more rings, 3 more rings, 2 of 4, 3 of 5, for 8 in 12, 9 in 13 or so like Russell from 91-02 or 03... And the league still moved like and for the likes of K. Malone until his retirement in 04. And for Jordan in Washington until Kobe hit em for 55 in 03 and that was a wake up call 🤙 to Jordan that those three years off (99-01), your age, and attrition and my ambition (Kobe), yes even your time is up (Michael).
That is a nice dream btw... Man if only. U would think Reinsdorf would have wanted to break the bank 🏦 a little for Krause to show up Jordan and Jackson a little bit and ensure Krause stayed a winner in the media's eyes after Jordan and co. Left. Why go thru all that trouble, 😵💫 fight for your homie, show ur loyalty to the Penguin 🐧 and not Superman, Batman and Rodman and Alfred just to vanquish the good guys, keep the villain and then screw him over by not locking up Duncan or McGrady or Hill or any of them and building thru the draft after a dysmal 99 season?
He should have paid high ransom to ensure Timmy at least. He was a champion 🏆 already. Hard to say you overpaid for that proven youthful commodity that is 7 feet tall and sturdy...
I like ur team dreams and fairy tale trades... Harper and Burrell for Eddie Jones? I like it... What else they give up though? Phil Jackson, money and draft picks? Because that's the hardest part Jackson was not staying... U can't say you'll keep Jackson. He was driving a hard bargain with lots of chips with 6 titles in 9 seasons of professional head coaching in the NBA. He could ask for the roof, and wanted Krause's job if not his head... He wanted BIG BOSS credit 💳. He was coaching Jordan, and not the GM... Only so much credit left for Jackson in Chicago. Jackson wanted and needed a break and went to Los Angeles to guide SHAQ and Kobe. Eddie Jones was gone by 99... Who do the Bulls hire as head coach in 99 if Jordan miraculously stays in Chicago in 99? Tim Floyd was near cemented in the 99 role as Bulls 🐂 Head Coach.
So Jordan, Pippen and Rodman behind Floyd?
Yeah, tough sell. That's what unraveled everything. Krause not pandering to Jackson, Jackson not willing to slum under Krause any longer. Jordan and Pippen and Rodman being Jackson's guys not Krause's. The threading 🧵 was just not there anymore.
The best scenario for Jordan would have been go to New York and fight with Ewing vs Robinson in 99 and Duncan and SHAQ and Kobe in 00... Pippen in Houston and then Portland by 00 flirting a Jordan vs Pippen 2000 NBA Finals. 99 and 00 Knicks vs Pacers ECF's Jordan vs Miller and Bird again...
And Rodman floundering in Los Angeles in 99 and Dallas in 2000.
But those fairy tale trades for the sake of trying to extend a dynasty are fascinating... Duncan, 00 free agent. Eddie Jones for Harper and Burrell, with possibly something else involved although Jones was moved for space for Kobe and Harper did play for Los Angeles in 00 and 01... Burrell instead of Glen Rice? I mean, people rush to buy without seeing all product out there I suppose... Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill by 2000?... In trade by 99? Pippen for Hill? Pippen for McGrady? Pippen in Toronto with Carter and Oakley and Willis and Antonio Davis is a nice team, veterans with the young Aire Apparently Jordan Tar Heel... Ben Wallace wasn't on anybody's radar until 01 right? How long is Jordan's window 🪟 post 98? CWebb cool.
Jordan Pippen CWebb? Jordan Duncan Pippen? Jordan McGrady Duncan? Jordan Wallace Kukoc Eddie Jones Pippen?
The math that'd go into all this would give me a heart attack and all these names circa this time period.
No wonder they blew it up !!!!
Said, fuck Pippen's paycheck.
Jordan, good riddance, I can build a champion without ya!
Jackson, syonara you wanna bee Cacique cultural appropriator full of shit beanstalk!
I'll get Duncan! I'll get Hill ! I'll get McGrady!!!!
I'll get all 3!!!!
How much they want?
I'll draft Elton Brand !!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Reinsdorf clever decision cost him with no more championships
It’s that ‘little hat people’ thing
Amazes me that a player would literally retire over a coaching decision.
Jerry Krause: HANDSOME man. Total GQ model.
I don't understand how pippen can hate MJ
It’s the most baffling thing
The Last Dance documentary because it showed more of Jordan and it made it look like it was all him. Each member really didnt get much screen time apparently but also Pippin was releasing a book at the time he said that. But Pippin then admitted he didnt go to Jordans father funeral and Jordon didnt know that or didnt console him and Jordan was pissed.
Krause Jackson pippen we’re all soft ego individuals…mj was the reason for everything and they hated it
They all were important to their success, they don’t win without Krause moves, Jordan’s scoring, Phil’s coaching & Scotties all around play.
@@Supreme36074Starts with Jordan and ends with Jordan
Anyone familiar with the intro music.....what song is that?
jackson wanted control like riley had in miami, coaching and front office control. jackson got arrogant and forgot who gave him the job. pip just signed a dumb deal even with jordan and krause telling him not to. everytime you win a championship the players will have to be paid and a raise which means the organization gets less profit. 2016 cavs perfect example. bball is a business. as long team is making profit they don't care if they kept losing in the 1st round.
Jordan stated in the video the franchise went from 12 million to a couple hundred million... reinsdorf made out.. but its everyone's ego... but definitely the Jerry's...
Dismantling the greatest team ever + the NBA’s goat/world’s most famous man (besides maybe the other MJ: Michael Jackson) to “rebuild” is mind boggling. Just think, if his dad hadn’t been murdered, MJ has a minimum of 8 straight titles.
He "retired" those two seasons because he was suspended for gambling. Playing baseball was just something that he used to fill his time and further his ego.
@@user-hd7he7vy4s You’re pretty special if you believe that rumor.
Do you narrate all the videos yourself? The voice sounds familiar for some reason
7:27 jordan didn’t make 30mil every yr. just his last 2 seasons with bulls
Facts. He made a ton more from multiple endorsements, Nike, etc
Jordan was underpaid for years as well. Not just Pippen.
@@Renegade-jk4ux he just didn’t whine about it every second he got like pip
@@Se0420_he didn’t have to he had 30 million a year of endorsement money. & knew his contract was coming to a end while he was talking about Pips… Jordan knew his pay day was coming regardless. & Pip couldn’t get those endorsements because they were already given to Mike. No team had two superstars in their prime to the point so no company would pay two from the same team.
@@Supreme36074 endorsement money has nothing to do with nba contract money. That’s just idiotic to think one has a weight on the other. And you do know pip had endorsements right? you think MJ the only player who had endorsements? even larry johnson had endorsements. Pip was a shitty businessman. It’s not up to MJ to look after pip pockets. he a grown ass man. Pip own agent and the owner both told pip NOT to sign the contract and he did it anyway. and you somehow blame MJ?? that’s nonsense. This is the same guy who bought a 10 million dollar plane with no engine that he never laid eyes on. Pip made a ton of bad investments outside of basketball. MJ didn’t
Against those Utah jazz LeBron would've bricked it or passed it out lol
we need the Michael Jordan channel to come back!!!
Is this a repost?
@17:45
That might be beginning of dribble but that looks like a ball carry
everything blowed up in Jerry Krause face thats why they booed him at the ceremony Jerry Krause wife didn't deserve the disrespect but Jerry Krause did break up the team didn't want to pay scottie pippen didn't want to pay horace grant didn't want to pay phil Jackson for being coach of the year Jerry Krause it all caught up with him God don't like ugly
People don’t realize that the first Jordan retirement was crucial to extending that run. Not only did it give Jordan a mental break, but it gave him a new core. It more importantly gave Pippen, Jordan, and Phil a much needed break from each other. The second threepeat team was nowhere as close as the first team. Some hardly spoke to each other.
Even when the teammates are complete buddies like the 80s Lakers, they inevitably implode like they did in 1990.
I say this all the time. There is no 3 peat without the rest & then pickup of Rodman.
Iowa State not Iowa.
Michael Jordan was the Alpha of all Alpha’s. That’s not easy to deal with when your not at that level and nobody else was
They have a big paying contracts, even longly got somwwhere to go and the bulls management doesnt want to pay anyone 😅
Y'all pretending the D Rose 🌹 Bulls 🐂 werent right at the door are lying to yourselves... The 84-98 Bulls 🐂 had the GOAT 🐐. Krause fucked up. Reinsdorf fucked up. The 99-04 Bulls were very bad... 05-11 Bulls 🐂 and the Paxson era started off very successfully. The Baby 🍼 Bulls 🐂 had some nice rivalry building playoff experiences. Hiccedup, reassembled, drafted D Rose 🌹 and were in the ECF vs Miami in 2011. 2012, they were as good as the 2012 Spurs who became the 2014 Spurs. D Rose 🌹 and his herk jerk body failed on us. But he was an MVP a true one, better than Nash, he was capable of bringing us a title. Those Bulls were for real and a contender and the best team in the league at one point or arguably so. That failed right at the pinnacle and then vanished. That was tragic.
You mixed some of the 97 and 98 press conferences with 96 to make it match your subject matter. Creative editing...and per your norm your main coverage of pip is negative. You showed jordan showing out...pip hurt and complaining😂. You feed my bulls love but your narrative is always clear. You have an art for storytelling youre good at what you do. No hate here i promise.
The league should retire the number 23 #jordan
“ Organizations win championships, not players” Jerry Krause
Michael and Phil (and Grant) were arrogant, Scottie was inauthentic, Rodman was narcissistic, Reinsdorf was cheap and lucky and Krause was a sleaze. It all worked because of talent. Winter and Bach were the best of the bunch as people.
The documentary really didnt do anyone any favours, but it was the owners fault really he refused to pay out and i think he was the main of it all but Krause i believed in his statement franchises win but it did until you lost the players.
I think Jordan was right until they lost then it should have ended by those terms
Still they should never have booed his wife at that event
While I think jordan shouldn’t get 100 percent of the credit he generated so much money for the nba he deserved to be payed top dollar
JORDAN NEVER had a FINALS GAME 7…LET that sink in 😳and PIPPEN went to the ROCKETS and PORTLAND after this and was AVERAGE at best..Learn to DO YOUR HOMEWORK go check PIPPEN’S PORTLAND and HOUSTON NUMBERS 😩😩
el problema es el cambio de mentalidad Jerry Krause venia del beisbol, donde las organizaciones si ganan campeonatos, en el baloncesto es lo contrario, los jugadores son los que ganan campeonatos, Almenos eso dice mi padre que es deportista, y quise que me ayudara a entender el problema entre ellos.
You do need a team in any sport to win but I will say that in basketball, one guy can affect the outcome of a game more than in any other sport.
Krause fked up more than he did well..he passed on players like hardaway etc.
Those teams that be built that helped Jordan win six championships and then win 55 games without him would say otherwise. Plus he got Phil Jackson. JK was one hell of a good GM and did his job tremendously well.
Howard Eisley’s 3 pointer should of counted
The thing that I remember the most about the Bull's dynasty is the fact that the Chicago fans were so obnoxious and rude. I just have to wonder how many of those people are still fans now.
I always say THE BULLS GET BULLETPROOF LOVE CUZ OF THEIR DOMINANCE....EVEN EARLY ON BEFORE THE WINNING THEY WERE BUILDING SOMETHING SPECIAL......PIPPEN WILL FOREVER BE BITTER SHEESH YOU WERE IMPORTANT TOO 😂😂😂😂
Jerry Krause to MJ as (former) Charlotte Hornets owner : see what I mean? Organization wins championship.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reinsdorf let Krause put everyone there except Jordan.
Jordan was there before all of them, including Reinsdorf.
It was always Jordan's team. He layed the foundation for all of them off the back of his game.
What made the franchise collapse was the fact they thought they could continue building without the main load-bearing pillar, Michael Jordan.
As soon as he left, the franchise collapsed almost instantly, which ultimately proved they were all insignificant to the real reason why the Chicago Bulls were so successful.
Fact.
The bulls fans and players should kiss jerry krause behind for helping orchestrate the trades that got him the 6 rings, He (jerry) might be an donkey to work for, but he assembled the team and the coach he needed to win. He (jordan) does the playing which he is good at, and with the help of the NBA to become the star that he is. Jerry likewise is doing his job which is to be strict and unforgiving to his players, he may be a donkey and a lot of players and fans seemed to hate him since if your a jordan supporter its kinds automatic for you to hate what he hates, but in the end he did his job. Remember this is the same jordan who vervally abuses jerry every chance he takes. This docu is pro jordan since jordan is an untouchable in the NBA. But again without jerry jordan cannot even pass the BAD Boys pistons.
Jordan is so overrated
Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf are both Jewish....
So?
They were all egotistical a-holes! Everybody just blames Krause because they need somebody to take the fall and people don't want to accept that their hero MJ is not a great person.
