For the most part, former Chicago Bulls general manager and two-time NBA Executive of the Year Jerry Krause was successful in building up this franchise. He was one of the original architects of both of the three-peats for the Bulls. But he was also part of the downfall in the late 1990’s, that might’ve prevented this team from winning more titles beyond the 1998 NBA Finals.
As the Bulls lead executive from 1985-2003, Krause saw a mixed bag of results beyond the best of the years surrounding all-time great shooting guard Michael Jordan. Not many of the players that suited up for the Bulls during the 1990’s liked Krause all that much.
