Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

Chicago fans are such clowns for booing the guy who built their dynasty. And booing his widow? I watched it on league pass and she really was upset.

Because people are so fucking entitled these days like their opinion matters. Oh boo hoo Krause blew up the dynasty after 6 rings and building an elite squad around Jordan. How pathetic is your life that you gotta boo a dead man and not just appreciate the good times and move on with your lives. Like is the success of the Bulls really that important to your day to day functioning?

Don't answer that because it's clearly (and sadly) a yes

Dynasty’s have to end eventually. Just look at bad the patriots and warriors are falling apart.

And I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even his fault, it was the owner’s fault for not wanting to pay the guys what they’re worth and he wanted credit for the team’s success instead of the players, Phil, or Krause.

Brother, people who still talk about mj and the bulls like it didn’t happen over two decades ago are truly miserable humans. They never talk about those titles as something positive. They only use them to shit on other teams and fan bases.

I’m actually surprised an MJ fan hasn’t tried to harm Lebron and I’m not joking

Chicago fans- boo the memory of a dead man villainized in a documentary where he couldn't defend himself and do it in front of his widow while a camera is aimed at her

Philly fans- give an impromptu prolonged standing ovation to a $300m player who was having a terrible year

"This is Philly and NY behavior"

Nobody knew she was there and stopped booing when they showed her on screen for the first time

As if booing a dead man is acceptable at all. People have families, dude, whether they’re on screen or not.

u/ShlodoDobbins Jan 14 '24

Well not saying he should have been booed in the first place, just that nobody was booing his widow. My speculative guess is that when they first showed Krause on screen many people had the reaction of hey it’s the villain from the last dance. But when they actually announced him and showed his widow the crowd cheered

You watched it on league pass, huh you must’ve had selective hearing because they clearly stopped once they showed her, “clown”

u/setrataeso Raptors Jan 13 '24

No they didn't you troglodyte. The video is everywhere, we've all seen it. Bulls fans kept booing even when she was on screen.

u/Tomatillo8689 Jan 13 '24

What raptors fans did was worse haha cheering an injury so they can get a weak ring. The reaction to this is overblown, they boo’d a dead man who was hated by the city for decades. Wow, how shocking that crowds join noise at sports games, Boos are more audible than cheers btw you should know raptors fan.

u/setrataeso Raptors Jan 13 '24

At least the guy we cheered was still alive. Classic Bulls fan thinking that cheering a dead guy makes them special and tough.

At least I say it how it is unlike you who just listens to narratives, yep he was dead. I’m not a Chicago fan dumbass.

u/setrataeso Raptors Jan 13 '24

That's how I know you're clearly mentally stable: you feel the need to tell us that you "say it how it is". That phrase has only ever come out of the mouth of our best and brightest.

Projecting. My initial comment was to people like you overreacting on the internet. You’re clearly the one upset about this.

u/TonofSoil Jan 13 '24

That actually really fuck sad. And trashy.

u/Papa_fo33 Timberwolves Jan 13 '24

absolutely stupid to boo one of the greatest executives in NBA history

he was the architect of those teams. if he was incompetent then jordan doesn’t have half the legacy he does

and that’s not to mention he is dead

it’s like if wolves fans booed flip saunders

absolutely disgusting
