Chicago Bulls' Ring of Honor Ceremony Sparks Controversy

Fans Boo Late Jerry Krause, Key Players Absent, Charles Barkley Calls for Apology

During the Chicago Bulls' Ring of Honor ceremony, fans booed the late Jerry Krause, the team's former general manager, causing his widow, Thelma Krause, to cry.
Key members of the Bulls' championship team, including Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, did not attend the ceremony.
Charles Barkley, former NBA player and current commentator, criticized the fans' behavior and the absence of the key players, calling the event a 'disgrace'.
Barkley, along with other commentators and the Bulls' president and CEO, called for an apology to Thelma Krause.
Jerry Krause, who passed away in 2017, was a key figure in the Bulls' six NBA championships in the 1990s but has a complicated legacy due to his role in dismantling the team.
