Jerry Krause will reportedly be enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

According to The Tribune's K.C. Johnson, Krause — the former Bulls general manager who helped build the dynastic teams of the 1990s — will be included in the Hall of Fame's 2017 class.

Krause passed away 10 days ago at the age of 77 and received tributes from many former members of those 1990s teams, including Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Pippen went as far as suggesting that Krause belonged in the Hall of Fame.

It seems Krause will join those three, as well as 1990s Bulls star Dennis Rodman, in the Hall.

Krause worked as the Bulls' general manager from 1985 to 2003 and helped construct the rosters that won the franchise's six championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
