Michael Jordan vs Jerry Krause and The Demise of The Chicago Bulls 

yet, he had a chance to come back and could've had any contract he wanted but he didn't. So much for a one man band. The one man band would've been coming back to a new coach, no Pippen, and no Rodman. They would've had money to sign another all star and decent power forward. Might have even been able to get Charles Oakley back. But bottom line is that team wasn't going to win and MJ knew it, so he retired so his story can end well.

⁠@@eddieG667I don’t know why they don’t see through the bs, Phil was also offered the job & like you said if you’re the GOAT & can win with anyone you could’ve proved it there. It’s all bs narrative pushed to exalt Mike. I agree.

Until you realize that it was the mainstream media that made michael jordan and that nba didn't start with michael jordan and enda with michael jordan. The same way boxing doesn't start with ali and ends ali. Michael jordan fans are the stupidest fans. Bill russell fans are way more mature and understanding and realize basketball at the end of the day is a team game. You wanna play by yourself and be a one man band, then you go out in play 1 vs 5 in try to win 82 games and play 48 minutes while trying to inbound the ball to yourself and guard all 5 positions and rebound while guarding 1 vs 5.

@BeastSquad-uq1wh I understand what you're saying,but he's not put on a pedestal for no reason.C'mon,I wasn't born yesterday.It's his game more than anything else that you're saying that did all his talking.You can say it's because of this and because of that,but if he doesn't perform out there on the court,there's nothing to talk about.I honestly haven't seen any other player to this day that tops his game despite all the statistics.You say the media made him great,that's a crock of sh*t.The media were only there promoting his game because he had one.No game,no media attention.Do you get it?The media have no control whatsoever over what he did on the court,nor did the Bulls organisation.They were all riding on the coattails of his game.How do you not see this?Let me say this.If Jordan had played this way back in the era of Cousy,Russell and Chamberlain,,his game would still be revered like it is today,guaranteed.Russell and Chamberlain don't have this type of game,neither did Kareem for that matter.If it were so,they would be spoken about more and more over Jordan,but their not.Even I would,but I'm not.I'm no dummy,I know what I saw.I don't need anyone to tell me otherwise,and you can include all of them.He is not at the center of discussions for no reason,despite you saying others made him who he became,because only he can perform to do the things he did on the court the way he did.No person or organisation can help him out there on the court despite all the help they provide for him.He still has to perform and perform he did,like no other I know of.He's the best by far,hands down, everybody.

@faronanderson2536 if jordan played in the 1950s and 60s, he get his points. But none of that would lead him to titles and him dealing with racism, depending on which team the uncle tom would of gone to.

Nah, they needed Cartwright to go against the centers , you had Horace coming up, was no need. Had they been able to have Cartwright & Oakley that would’ve been different.

Amen. He made those dudes great

Jerry Reinsdorf oversaw the entire mess. Krause was a figurehead who did what he was told.

Jordan is not Brady and no one in the bulls org was Belichek

Lol, no

@@velvetbear7184 Um, yes.

Krause's contributions are undeniable. But making the relationship untenable was him injecting himself forcibly into the equation.

​@@marblox9300 what happened with the rebuild ? he make another dynasty ?

Protect his legacy from what? His GOAT legacy is written in immortality. 25 years after the Bulls demise we are still in awe of MJ. He was already in his mid 30's and everything was in place why would he opt to start playing from scratch?

@@docallen2796 umm because you love competing? Was Magic starting from scratch in 90-91?

Then why did he come back with the Wizards that had an even worse team?

@@fuckfuckfuckshit781 C’mon now. He and everyone knew he wouldn’t be competing for a title. A 1999 Bulls team without Pippen,Phil and Rodman would’ve still made the playoffs. Krause likely would’ve signed another star but it wouldn’t be like playing with Pippen. He saw all the greats getting eliminated in playoff games and that would’ve been torture for someone so competitive about his legacy

@eddieG667 Again. Jordan came back and played with the Wizards that had one of the worst records in the league the prior year.

💯

you're assuming everyone else were absolute angels to deal with. This documentary makes it seem like the 98 team was waking up eager and singing kum-ba-ya together, but that's so far from the truth. They were on their 3rd band aid from the 1996 team with a 1 year deal for Mike, a Rodman getting more bored with every game, and Pippen who wanted a new contract. MJ's alpha attitude also made it tough for other players to stay and nobody from the 91-93 squad was leftover for the 2nd 3-peat. Even when teams were the best of friends like the 80s Showtime Lakers they inevitably implode. Things came to a screeching halt with Pat Riley in 1990 after they won 5 championships together. And that was WITHOUT Magic retiring in the middle of the run like Jordan did and gave everyone much needed break from each other. Just the fact they won 2 more times after 96 is a miracle and everyone takes that for granted. Phil Jackson showed that even better owners like Jerry Buss can grow weary of his demeanor and they got rid of him not only once, but twice after he won multiple titles. Heck, he was even engaged to Jeanie and that wasn't enough.

@@eddieG667 Like I said, everyone should have just played their own position 😆

@@johnhamilton5435 seeing how everyone eventually showed their true colors later in their lives (especially Pippen) saying they needed to stay in their own lanes is like asking Lebron to have thick skin 😂

@@eddieG667 The narrative was written long before alot of them got there in saying Jordan was going to be the man. The shaped the whole NBA around Jordan. So the shine was going to him and everyone else should have just played their role 😆

@@johnhamilton5435 lol after watching the last dance and the ex player interviews after from Hodges, Cartwright, Parish, and Grant some of them sound like they were close to punching MJ 😂

He was offered the job despite that statement.

@@Supreme36074 After they won tha chip so tha damage was already done✌️

@@seanherring9340 regardless… he was offered the job, everyone knew they were winning a chip, that was a forgone conclusion..

Phil was offered a 1 year contract after it was publicly announced that Phil would never be able to stay regardless of a win or lose. Why should Phil put up with the humiliating remarks Krause would make in public towards him.

@@kathyrae1140 because he had always made just as disparaging if not more comments about Krause in the media or otherwise. Phil had his eyes on LA. He always coveted a center like Shaq who in his own words the triangle really was made for. Then to have Kobe. It was no brainer. Shaq publicly would call Phil the Great Phil Jackson & he became available. At the same time you could tell the Lakers players weren’t feeling Del Harris, it was obvious he was going there. Phil was just jumping ship because he knew then Bulls days were numbered regardless. At best the would’ve contended for two more.

@@Supreme36074 how was the rebuild ? he make more championship teams ?

They were lucky to win game 6 of 98 finals. Howard Eisley 3 pointer was wrongly waived and Ron Harper 2 pointer was okayed. 5 point swing and Jazz would have won game 6 and surely game 7 as Pippen was injured

That man has kids & no other indications he was gay, stop that 😂

People just like making shit up​@@Supreme36074

Dude was not gay stop making things up
