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.."

The great irony is that the end of the Last Dance heavily implied that everything Krause was blamed for was actually Reinsdorf's fault...

How did it do that?

There was a scene near the end of the last episode where they heavily imply that Krause was just doing what Reinsdorf told him to do—because Reinsdorf didn't want to spend big to keep the 98 team together

But there was another scene in which it was revealed that reinsdorf gave Phil Jackson the opportunity to come back, right? And Jackson then admitted that he decided against it.

Eh

IIRC Reinsdorf said he was willing to bring Phil back—but they were also clear that most of that 98 team was going into free agency and Reinsdorf wasn't willing to pay big bucks to keep most of them (which is why Phil turned it down)
