I don't think anyone doubts Jerry's success in putting that team together. He made real savvy moves in getting Scottie, Phil, Kukoc, not signing Horace Grant back and then landing Rodman a couple years later.
If he wasn't such a cry baby loser, he could of gone out a hero! Instead he cried, complained, and created all sorts of drama because he wasn't in the spotlight. Now he will forever be remembered as a piece of shit instead of one of the smartest GM's in NBA history.....and he did it to himself.
There is no possible valid defense to "I don't care if you win a championship, this team is being broken up." They portrayed him as a villain, because that is the only possible realistic way to portray Jerry Krause! I don't feel bad for his family, as they're a bunch of millionaires and it was no secret what a POS Krause was....
