It was a shameful scene in Chicago on Friday night for the Bulls' first Ring of Honor ceremony, when fans couldn’t behave themselves on a night that was supposed to commemorate the most glorious era in franchise history.

The late Jerry Krause was always referred to by Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf as “The Architect,” having put together six championship teams in the 1990s. You wouldn’t have known that from the reaction Bulls fans gave his widow at halftime, booing her as she represented him at center court.
