re: Bulls fans boo late Jerry Krause causing widow to cry in brutal moment

I don't know if it can be justified, but Krause was very arrogant, as I recall - and he seemed to have no regard for what the fans wanted, the sentimental attachment that tons of people had to that Bulls roster, no respect for the idea that champions continue to be champions and defend until they can no longer do so, and so forth.

IIRC he condemned that team to being "losers" without giving them a chance to defend and be overtaken by another team. At that time in the NBA, you had a run of teams and each got overtaken, sort of like a lion leading his pride. He does so until he's knocked out. This was considered the proper course of things, as I remember.

I think the Bulls players and fans wanted that opportunity, and truthfully, they had earned it. I don't blame anyone for not liking Krause, he denied them an opportunity - that said, it's been so many years, and it's his widow, just let her stand there and live that moment. Don't shite on her like that. You express your anger on call-in radio shows, not at a live event like that.
