    After reading up on the Bulls dynasty, I've come to one conclusion; they all needed each other. Krause might've been a pain in the ass, but he was a manager that put together a team that won six championships in eight years. You look at how Jordan and Jackson did as executives for other teams; Jordan and the Wizards drafting Kwame Brown (need I say more?) Then Jordan with the Bobcats/Hornets. Finally, you look at how Jackson did for the Knicks as head of basketball operations. In conclusion, just because you're a great player or coach, that doesn't mean you'd be great in the front office.

      Bro you don't just look at the outcome and say who's right: Bulls already started winning under coach Doug Colins, the made it to the fvcking Eastern Conference Finals! Even if Rodman was a good fit, he needed Jordan's presence so that he don't become an uncontrollable beast in the locker room (to which Rodman actually did sometimes, just on and off). Pippen was a great talent, but he only averaged 7 points in the first season with Bulls. Charles Oakly proved himself after he was traded for Cartwright to Knicks, and became a huge problem during Chicago and New York playoff games (although MJ always come on top). Horace Grant was proven to be very avarage in Magic, the only reason he did well in Bulls was because he was fed easy baskets (with MJ and Pippen's presence). Toni Kukoc failed so hard in 1999 when Bulls decides to build a team around him. This is not to mention after the Jordan Era, Krause traded the immense talent Ron Artest (Meta World Peace) for absolutely no reason even after he already proved his worth on the team. Krause soon resigned because after Jordan left, Bulls was barely winning 20 games a season!
      you clearly needed the players to win games because they are the ones who trained themselves and play on the court. Krause has nothing to do with the blood sweat and tears Jordan put during training and in the locker room, and a lot of the 'Krause was right' moment was because JORDAN MADE IT WORK, not Krause. This 'unbiased' video is just total BS.

      Hell no 🤣 MJ didn't need Krause nor Jackson... At best Krauss is a good scout, THATS IT. He was a horrible GM. Only reason the guys he brought in was any good is because MJ pushed them. He mis managed his players and built zero relationships with them. He isolated everyone. That's why once MJ left, everyone that could leave LEFT. Outside of Kerr, Harper (who has a great player before he went to the Bulls) and of course Pip, none of them became better outside of the Bulls. Actually Kerry regressed but only won more because he went to the Spurs. Harper followed Jackson. Everyone else was a shell of themselves after MJ left.

      If what you said is true, If Krause just kept doing his thing and looked past that, he would have found more contentment in achieving what he had achieved. Being that having an eye for good players (his good vision) played an important role in them crossing each others paths. I think the narrator said that Krause supported the underdog because he was seen as an underdog. To hell with all that. When you buy into the fluff that most yap about, you fall into a stupor that does zero for your mental health, much less overall reality.

      Facts. The only thing Krause did to Jordan was trying to stop him from playing the year he broke his foot. Any gm would have tried to stop that. Once phil got there he used that to make Jordan and else hate Krause. Phil was always the true Villain. He did the same thing in LA using Kobe as the problem during their first title runs with Shaq. The only problem was Kobe never complained. I still say Phil had an under the table deal with Lakers during the Bulls run is why Krause was ready to rid of him. Jordan was just to loyal to Phil.

    I'm a Laker fan and I'll go on record saying Jerry West was THE most important piece of the Showtime/Shaq and Kobe era. Krause was that guy for the Bulls. Having a GM that can find talented players to surround your superstars (with some of the worst positions in the draft) and keep a dynasty running is rare and needs to be appreciated more than it is. Think of it this way, If David Griffen was MJ's GM in Chicago, do you think they get past the Pistons with 'Boobie' Gibson being the number 2 scorer on the team? And if Krause was building a team around Lebron, which way would the G.O.A.T. discussion be leaning right now? As good as MJ was, Krause deserves WAY more credit than he get's for building and sustaining that dynasty.

    I'd give Krause his flowers if he didn't get caught in his feelings. Yeah, Jordan did as well, but nothing was comparable to Krause's implosion of the team. Krause built the team, sure. But you can't have one without the other. Players AND organizations win championships. It is ignorant to think otherwise. I don't think this should mean that Krause should keel over and listen to every one of Jordan's demands. But that quote is like if my manager said "Our employees don't make sales. The company does." Jordan can get pissed over nothing, but it's justified in that case.

Krause's problem was never lack of GM ability; it was always his attitude. And i'm not a fan of MJ's mocking disrespect for the man; MJ's got his own bad attitude.

The Coach and players win the games, not the organization. The Bulls have zero Championships without Michael Jordan and that's a fact nor a legacy.

    I saw the comments Regarding Michael and Phil’s time as being executives and i guess there’s some validity. However read “Playing for Keeps, by David Halberstam to get a view of what Krause was all about.
    The same shit happened here in New England with regards to Brady. Lame-a-check sabotaged his last 2 seasons with a piss poor offensive line for starters.
    Thom Brady (while not perfect) sacrificed a lot of his salary to keep good players on the team.
    Larry Bird said it best as the GM of the pacers a few years back.
    “when the teams wins, the t-shirt guy is making money, the concessions guys is making money, the players are making more money 💰 and so on and so on”
    Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Tiger , Bird , Brady , Gretzky, The Williams sisters (for starters) are all like Haley’s comet ☄️. They don’t come around very often.
    It’s the talent that’s wins championships in all sports , period. So who the hell sabotages there own team for having a fragile ego??? WTF 🤬???
    Red Auerbach got this and let his players do the talking & the winning for that matter.
    So i don’t care how many of Krause’s relatives are on on here defending him, he blew for that organization, period.
    As well they could’ve put young pieces around Jordan for a minimum of 3-5 years and kept on winning.

Krause told Pippen that Reinsdorf would not restructure the contract down the line and that it was pointless for Pippen to come back and ask for more money. Reinsdorf was true to his word, and that's why Pippen's wildcat strike failed.

    I remember bringing up Jerry Krause in the past on how he was one of the reasons Michael Jordan became a champion and MJ fans will get so upset or try to discredit that and I'm so glad you created this video and gave Jerry Krause his flowers because he deserves it. I still think his ego was the reason why the dynasty ended too early and that Bulls team should have had the opportunity to defend their dynasty until they couldn't defend it no more like the ones they beat in the past Like Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics, Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers or Isaiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons.
    But maybe that was a blessing in disguise for MJ and the Bulls because every fan of MJ when they bring up the conversation between him and LeBron they always say that he was undefeated when going to The Finals, If Jerry Krause didn't have a massive ego and wanted to prove a point and kept this team together and tried to smooth things over with Scottie Pippen and kept the team together would that team beat that San Antonio Spurs team the very next year in '99 in The Finals?!?!
    But Michael Jordan needed Jerry Krause Just as much as Jerry Krause needed Michael Jordan to do his job on the floor. At the end of the day Jerry Krause ego tainted his career moving forward after the Bulls dynasty because he was never able to get back to that promised land after breaking up that team.
    But we can't discredit what he brought to the table and was able to build in Chicago around the diamond that is Michael Jordan.
    And some Jordan fans are in the comments trying to discredit Jerry Krause saying that Jordan would have won without Phil Jackson as head coach or look down upon his moves he did to build that team.
    For some fans hearing this is like hurting their childhood in a way hearing the truth that these type of moves help Jordan become one of the greatest winners of all time. He was always an amazing talent and competitor but he needed the right pieces and horses around him in order for him to be a great winner and that's what Jerry Krause did as his time as a GM with the Chicago Bulls.

    If Krause was as great a GM as lead to believe please name me a note worthy pick after MJ left the building. Also on the Pippen & Grant draft an argument could be made had he taken Reggie Miller and Kevin Johnson while pairing them with MJ and Oakley the team would have progressed a lot faster. Also bypassing Karl Malone for Oakley wasn’t his greatest highlight either. For the most part Krause hit on very few picks to help significantly better the team. Dawkins was a better pick than Sellers if we measure careers. Oakley for Cartwright was horrendous trade IMO he was better off keeping Oak and Playing he or Grant at Center. But I’m sure all the great pick after MJ left is why so many think he’s one of the best to do it.

    I think this beef can almost be called even. Jordan was an incredible player who on even a slightly above average team could probably at least take them to the finals. Krause was a man who found pieces that could complete your team and take you places you never dreamed of. Both were petty and never bothered or even attempted to bury the hatchet even after all the success they had (mostly because of MJ’s almost maniacal obsession with proving himself right/winning all the time, partly because Krause was simply responding in kind.) Because of how personal MJ takes even the slightest gesture of ill will (you could accidentally sneeze in his direction and that would be his motivation to drop 60 points on you) this beef will never be resolved. Wouldn’t doubt if either man cussed the other on their deathbed.
