This is what the Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said when asked about the booing from the audience during the mention of the late General Manager of the Chicago Bulls, Jerry Krause. All this happened during the first "Ring of Honor" celebration, a tribute to the great legends of the franchise.
The United Center dressed up Friday night to honor historic members of the organization during halftime of the game that pitted the home team, the Chicago Bulls, against the Golden State Warriors, two teams that are trying to move up the standings and give themselves a chance to make the Playoffs.
The recognition of these Bulls greats included the likes of Toni Kukoc, Warriors coach Steve Kerr and perhaps the most applauded of the night, the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, coach who won 6 championships in the Windy City.
The event could not count on the presence of its most emblematic players, the trio of Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen and of course, Michael Jordan, who expressed their frustration at not being able to be present at the event.
The night had its saddest moment when it was time to mention Jerry Krause's name, when part of the stadium began to boo. Krause's widow, Thelma, burst into tears at the situation;
Many personalities spoke out about it, showing their embarrassment and anger with the actions of a certain part of the public. One of them was Steve Kerr, when he was asked at the press conference after the game that ended in victory for his pupils 140-131.
"It's absolutely shameful, I can't believe it. I'm devastated for Thelma and the Krause family."
"We're here to celebrate that team. Jerry did an incredible job building that team. Tonight was all about the joy and the love that the team shared with the city and I'm very disappointed in the fans. And I want to be specific with those who booed, because I'm sure there are a lot of fans who didn't, but those who did should be ashamed."
Kerr knows the Chicago fans very well as he was an iconic member of those unstoppable Bulls that won three championships between 1996 and 1998. His legacy includes the well-remembered shot he made after Jordan's pass to secure the '97 ring against the Utah Jazz.
