No, Krause didn't draft Michael Jordan, however he is responsible for surrounding Jordan with the supporting cast that helped the Chicago Bulls capture six titles in eight years.

He struck gold in the 1987 NBA Draft by trading Olden Polynice for Scottie Pippen, and selecting Horace Grant with the 10th pick.

Krause also drafted B.J. Armstrong with the 18th overall pick in 1989 and found European sensation Toni Kukoc in the second round of the 1990 draft.

And before the 1995-96 season, he dealt backup center Will Perdue to San Antonio for Dennis Rodman, who replaced Grant as the starting power forward.

Unfortunately, Krause broke up the Bulls after the 1997-98 season. He has since struggled to rebuild with young talent such as high schoolers Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler.

He retired as GM in 2003.

"Trader Jack" impressively built the "Bad Boy" Detroit Pistons teams that won back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990.

After taking Isiah Thomas in the 1981 NBA Draft, McCloskey selected backcourt mate Joe Dumars with the 18th overall pick in 1985.

In 1986, he selected John Salley in the first round and Dennis Rodman in the second round.

McCloskey also hired Hall of Fame coach Chuck Daly and traded for veterans Bil Laimbeer, Vinnie Johnson, Mark Aguirre, Rick Mahorn, and James Edwards.

Currently the general manager of the San Antonio Spurs, Buford drafted two players that teams foolishly passed up.

He selected Manu Ginobili in the second round in 1999 and later took Tony Parker with a late first-round pick in 2001.

The two draft steals teamed with former No.1 overall pick Tim Duncan to win titles in 2003, 2005, and 2007.

And each year, Buford continues to build around the talented trio with cheap but productive veterans who help the Spurs remain competitive.

West won the Executive of the Year Award twice during his days as a general manager.

He played a huge role in creating the Lakers dynasty that won five championships in the 1980s, led by All-Stars Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In the summer of 1996, West gambled by trading away players in order to free up cap space to sign prized free agent Shaquille O'Neal.

He shipped Anthony Peeler and George Lynch to Vancouver for future second-round picks and sent Vlade Divac to Charlotte for Kobe Bryant, who was the 13th overall pick in the draft.

And luckily, O'Neal decided to sign with the Lakers and the team won three consecutive titles from 2000-2002.

As the Memphis Grizzlies' GM in 2003, West barely missed winning the lottery which would have landed LeBron James.

After guiding the Boston Celtics to 938 victories and nine championships as head coach, Auerbach took over as the team's general manager in the late 1960s.

He drafted stars such as Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White, who helped lead the Celtics to titles in both 1974 and 1976.

In addition, Auerbach drafted Larry Bird in 1978 and then brilliantly turned Joe Barry Carroll and Rickey Brown into Kevin McHale and Robert Parish in 1980.

The "Big Three" of Bird, McHale, and Parish led Boston to championships in 1981, 1984, and 1986.
