i didn't watch the last dance and being a die hard detroit fan, i don't think i ever will.

but growing up, i've read several articles about krause and the way he handled the bulls. people who dealt w/ him was almost unilateral in saying he was an unethical, insensitive, and a scrooge s.o.b. but of course, no one can ever deny jerry was a basketball visionary.
krause took a chance on jordan when pundits thought he was just a high flying skinny kid w/ lots of flash, that's why hakeem olajuwon and sam bowie were picked ahead of him in the '84 draft. he then cunningly overhauled the bulls personnel and surrounded his "airness" w/ unknown and unproven role players who proved to be a good fit for a series of successful championship runs w/o hurting their bank account.
i guess it would be safe to say w/o krause, scottie pippen would probably never be a superstar in the level he's now revered (although he was reportedly treated badly as a bull) and phil jackson won't even be a byword in the nba because no nba team wanted his services due to a tainted reputation associated w/ past drug use. heck, maybe even the sterling steve kerr will only be best remembered as a 3rd string player in phoenix.
