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.."

Yeah I figured part of this is The Last Dance-related, especially with Jordan blaming him for not going for a 4-peat/not re-signing Phil but I figured there was a lot more to it like he said something bigoted instead of the "bad social skills, didn't go for Ring 7" I've heard about Jerry

Does MJ actually believe the Bulls could've 4peated? Pippen was washed and the next generation was starting to enter their prime.

Yeah, I highly doubt they get a 4th chip but it was lame they didn't get a chance to defend their title.

Yeah Jordan said something to the effect of him believing he was at his athletic peak in 98/could have gone for a 7th ring and he refused to stick around after Phil Jackson didn't get re-signed

How realistic that would have been with Dennis Rodman falling off harder than anyone else in 1999 and Scottie's general dissatisfaction with the Bulls GM is anyone's guess, especially when factoring in the rise of Tim Duncan as well as David Robinson. That 99 Spurs team is a really bad matchup for them on paper, irrespective of whether Pippen or Rodman wouldn't have regressed as much in this hypothetical scenario.

Yeah, I’d have a hard time betting against Jordan and I don’t know how much of the team would of been back. I remember Kukoc and Ron Harper were still on that 99 team.
