Day 2

Better... Today in class we tried to talk about Obama's speech but...maybe next time.

Here was an very interesting article on the "greatest general manger" of the Chicago Bulls, Jerry Krause. Michael Jordan referred to Krause as Crumbs. This maybe before your time, but Krause is infamously known as the person responsible for breaking up the Bulls' Dynasty. However, this article puts a different light on Krause.

"[Krause] delivered Jordan history’s greatest coach in Jackson. He gave him Tex Winter and an unstoppable triangle offense. He gave him a Hall of Fame running mate, Scottie Pippen. Jerry Krause gave him a championship cast for three titles, and when Jordan returned from baseball, the GM reshaped the roster for three more championships. Jordan couldn’t do it alone, and never did. Whatever Jordan wants to believe, no one in basketball has ever given more to his greatness than Jerry Krause. No one....
...For once, Jordan needs to take care of [Krause]. He should stand up for Jerry Krause now, the way that he never did as a Bull. Older and wiser, Jordan should be more than a little humbled over how hard it is to build a championship basketball team. Krause never drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrision."

Any basketball fans in my class? Want to play fantasy basketball when the NBA season starts?
