The doc itself brings back a lot of good memories. Great refresher on the drama and you knew Krause would not come off well in it.
It’s interesting that Kerr and Paxson were about the only guys to say something nice about Krause, but neither of them could talk about him without mentioning the bad.
I also like reading current NBA players’ reactions on Twitter. Seems they don’t see anything like this/MJ.
Krause was one of most hated men in Chicago sports history and yet without him there is a decent chance Chicago has 6 less Championships. It's interesting to get different perspectives on Krause and Reinsdorf from different people. Just this morning I was reading comments from a former KU player and his friends. Let's just say there was a little "anti-semitism". Not from the former KU player but his "friends". Then I read stuff from those who know/knew both Jerrys well.
On another note, I'm a bit surprised that so far Pippen is coming off as a villain.
Consensus in Chicago was he was an asshole for a long time in the 90s. I've shared my stories in the past so I'll spare everyone now.
Only thing I will say is that I find it amazing the guy pulled the bullshit move in 95/96, pulled the bullshit move in in the 94 playoffs where he refused to play because a play was called for Kukoc and not him (see video below), pulled the bullshit move when he implied Bulls fans are racist (
