re: Kraus, yeah he comes across as such an antagonist in this. Like they never show him smiling or being agreeable or anything. He's portrayed as this short, fat, petty little man who wears this perpetual shady frown, who is constantly getting picked on, and who has some Napoleon complex going on, running around telling everyone to give him credit too? (They might have said this, but) what was his redeeming worth? If everybody hated him then why'd they keep him around so long?

Anyways, for those that didn't see, didn't know, didn't care, but maybe now are interested because of the documentary, here are some pics from when the 97-98 team visited Allen Field House. As the show said last night when talking about the exhibition season, Pippen and Rodman weren't there, and I can remember standing in line wondering if the team would even be together but at the time you just felt there was no way they were going to break the champs up as they were going for another 3-Peat. Stood in line 8.5 hours out in front of AFH and was able to snag some tickets.

I probably posted on .Net, but I was also there. I remember that in the days leading up there was talk about Michael not making it to the game. It was something like the day before where it was confirmed he'd be there. I still haven't been to a place with that many camera flashes.

The game was also a pretty short time after Shawn Kemp was traded for Vin Baker. That was a bummer. If my memory is right, the Glove was there.

I'm guessing it was a favor to Roy, or Roy hooked it up somehow at least because of his relationship with MJ.

It was pretty common for NBA teams to play exo's in big college arenas back then. It might even still be happening today. They still do similar stuff now in that they play a lot of exo's in non-NBA cities. The Sprint Center has an NBA and NHL exo every year.

CRUMBS to you!
I would run in to him often.
He LOVED to eat at a place called Hub's. I would eat there about once a week and I would see him in there a couple of times a month. Indeed he inhaled his food and wasn't the most pleasant of people.
I was actually sympathetic. He was always alone and no one in Chicago really liked him. Even when he was winning championships.

I meant to comment this sooner, but Roy does come across as incredibly smug in this, even by Roy standards.

That was a fun game (I want to say 2006 or 2007)?

Awesome, haven't seen that pic before. Who wins a dunkoff that day? Earl, Gregory or old man Jordan? Probably going with young Gregory.
