The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[IPC]

Bulls earlier honored the 1995-1996 team in the franchise’s inaugural ring of honor class ( too bad jordan, pippen and rodman weren’t there) sad note, Jerry Krause’s widow cried as the fans booed when his late husband was introduced

(note: bulls legends jerry sloan, artis gilmore among others where also part of the class)

Krause might have been a bit of a dick, but he was a pretty good GM in the 90's. Made a lot of good moves to surround Jordan with the help he needed (Cartwright, Pippen, Grant, Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc, Paxson, Armstrong, Harper, etc.). He screwed up after the dynasty, though.

Great, Bulls fans are now in the news because of this crap.

The fans who booed were a disgrace. Bulls fans regularly booed Krause in the 90's too, but this was not the time.

The native of Serbia joined the Warriors coaching staff in 2021 after head coaching coaching stints in Montenegro and Serbia. He played professionally in Europe, where was a three-time Adriatic Basketball Association MVP. He won a gold medal for Serbia and Montenegro at the 2001 Eurobasket. He has also served as an assistant coach for Serbia’s national team.

He also coached a young Nikola Jokic in Serbia, long before any saw Jokic as a two-time MVP who could lead a team to an NBA championship. He was instrumental in Jokic's development as a skilled big man.
