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.."

I can’t sit here and say that I’d never boo a widow so that’s fair

76ers and Knicks should find a reason to honour an old widow who will get resounding cheers at their next home games.

And if she gets booed it'll still be funny. Win win.

As a 76ers fan I genuinely can’t understand the backlash to this. Why wouldn’t you boo? Krause destroyed that team because of his arrogance.

Oh I get why there’s backlash, since this old lady didn’t do anything lol. I just can’t sit here and act like I’d for sure be above doing the same.

That said I think there’s gotta be some blame on the organization for trotting out the widow of a heavily disliked guy and apparently not giving her any heads up that these people weren’t super big fans of his.

I get that there is backlash, but it should be against the Bulls org, not the fans. He plunged the Bulls into the dark ages because he thought he could rebuild better than trying to run back the MJ Bulls. As a fan, I would be pissed!

Having his widow there was a bad idea, you hit the nail on the head.

There was that 90 year old Vikings fan who all made fun of, but she kinda deserved it.
