John Stockton almost wasn't in 'The Last Dance,' called it a 'Michael Jordan
puff piece,' director says
The last dance的導演說Stockton不想吹唪Jordan而差點沒出現在影片中

"The Last Dance" fundamentally exists to tell Michael Jordan's story.
Although that might be gratifying for him and his teammates, the players that
they vanquished along the way have not been so eager to relive those
memories. Patrick Ewing revealed this week that he hasn't even been watching
the documentary. Reggie Miller resisted participating in it for quite some
time.
Ewing表示沒看過紀錄片，Miller也抵制了一段時間
Another name surfaced this week on the list of 1990s superstars who didn't
initially want to take part in the documentary: John Stockton. As director
Jason Hehir revealed on "The Dan Patrick Show," Stockton said that he did not
want to be a part of a "Michael Jordan puff piece."
"I finally got (Stockton) on the phone after like two years of chasing him,"
Hehir said. "(Stockton) said, 'I don't want to be a part of a Michael Jordan
puff piece.'"
另一個本來不想參加紀錄片的1990年代巨星名單上又出現了一個名字：John Stockton
導演說他花了約兩年才接到老史的電話，
老史說他不想成為吹捧喬爺的一部份
The interview itself, as Hehir reveals, didn't take place until March 10,
2020. Only a day later, the NBA season ground to a halt after Rudy Gobert
tested positive for coronavirus. They were able to conduct the interview so
late because the documentary was initially not set to air until June. When
the virus forced the entire country into a quarantine, ESPN moved it up. As
of last week, the final episodes still had not been completed because of the
truncated timeline.
跟老史的訪談拖到了2020/3/10才進行
之所以訪談這麼晚，是因為這部紀錄片本來是6月才要上映
但因為Rudy被確診，整個NBA停擺
ESPN就提前進度，截至上週，最後幾集仍有些時間軸被截切不完整
Eventually, Stockton did agree to participate, and he is likely to be heavily
featured in the remaining episodes. His Utah Jazz faced off with Jordan's
Chicago Bulls in the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals and lost on both occasions.
Needless to say, those outcomes obviously paint Jordan in a more favorable
light. Although the documentary hasn't exactly been a puff piece, his
participation ensured a heavy focus on his successes, two of which came at
Stockton's expense. His reluctance was more than understandable, but his
presence ultimately adds a needed voice to a crucial point of the story.
最終，Stockton確定參與紀錄片，並且他很可能扮演重要角色
他所屬的爵士隊在兩次決賽中敗給了公牛
這顯然會幫Jordan帶來更多的光采
Stockton不願出面是可以被理解的
但他最終在影片中的出現為這個故事的關鍵增添了一些必要的聲音
