Dan Majerle Rumors

Nearly 28 years have passed since former Phoenix Suns guard Dan Majerle first felt the anguish over losing to the Chicago Bulls in the 1993 NBA Finals. The hurt still lingers. So much so that Majerle admitted he still reflects on former Chicago Bulls guard John Paxson making a game-winning 3-pointer in a decisive Game 6 at least once a week. “I think about it a lot,” Majerle told USA TODAY Sports. “They show it a lot. But I do think about it a lot.”

Then, Jordan revealed he became motivated to play well against Majerle because former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause respected Majerle’s defense. As explained throughout the documentary, Jordan had despised Krause partly because of Krause’s desire to receive more credit for how he evaluated talent and assembled teams. “It’s a point of pride for me,” Majerle said. “You got the greatest player in the world, that has ever played basketball sitting there and talking about that one of his motivations was to kick your ass. That’s not a bad thing.”

“I knew Milwaukee would bounce back and make this a series. But I still think the Suns are going to win,” Majerle said. “I’m actually picking them in six [games]. But I knew it wouldn’t be an easy series at all.”

Dan Majerle, one of the Phoenix area’s biggest sports figures in his days playing for the Suns, has filed a complaint in Superior Court against Grand Canyon University over the handling of his firing as head men’s basketball coach and the salary he believes he is due to receive. Arizona Sports first reported the story Monday night. Majerle did not comment when reached out by The Arizona Republic. His attorney, Dana Hooper, provided a copy of the complaint to The Republic. “Dan just wants what is fair,” Hooper said in an email. “This isn’t the route Dan wanted to go, but he had no other option.”

The complaint says that interim Athletic Director Jamie Boggs informed Majerle of the firing in a phone call. “During the call, Boggs did not give any reason for the termination and did not tell Majerle he was being terminated for Cause,” the complaint reads. “Boggs said the university decided that it was moving in another direction and said she was sorry. “A decision to ‘move in another direction’ is not grounds for Cause under the Employment Agreement.” Bob Romantic, executive director of public relations for GCU, issued a statement on the university’s behalf Tuesday morning:
