Beskrivning
From March 26, 1985 until April 4, 2003 Jerry Krause was responsible for shaping the Chicago Bulls' roster as vice president of basketball operations. He called the shots and yet, even after six championships, could never shake off the status of the underdog. He conducted 37 trades to win the first championship for the Bulls, was constantly evaluating talent and throughout his tenure remained who he was at heart--a scout. Krause's fate was closely tied to his surroundings, the people he employed and the ones he ignored for certain positions.This book examines Jerry Krause as a basketball scout and executive. Rather than redirecting hate, casting blame or clearing anybody's name, it shows the other side of the story of the Bulls dynasty--one with a sharp focus on roster construction--and the interactions between the team, the staff and the front office. This is a story about making hard decisions and learning how to live with them.

Recensioner i media

“Jerry Krause is easily one of the most complicated, fascinating figures I have encountered in all of my decades writing about the NBA. Deeply wounded from his early life, Krause somehow managed to fashion his pain into a memorable career in sports management. His collision with Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in Chicago in the 1990s proved epic in its impact. Lukasz Muniowski has captured all of this in his fine biography, which offers a fuller understanding of Krause's story and perspective.”—Roland Lazenby, author, Magic: The Life of Earvin “Magic” Johnson
