Krause broke up a title team that he put together. The filmmakers painted a resentful image of the executive through select interviews, though his own quotes suggest the same. “Players alone don’t win championships,” Krause famously said, “organizations do.” The Last Dance shows footage of Jordan and Pippen openly teasing Krause. Before Pippen asked for a trade, he was screaming at him from the back of the team bus. “He had a way of alienating people,” Reinsdorf said. Breaking up the team was probably the most striking self-sabotage in NBA history—particularly because Jordan had warned against it.
