John Stockton almost wasn't in 'The Last Dance,' called it a 'Michael Jordan
puff piece,' director says
The last dance的导演说Stockton不想吹唪Jordan而差点没出现在影片中

"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表示没看过纪录片，Miller也抵制了一段时间
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.'"
另一个本来不想参加纪录片的1990年代巨星名单上又出现了一个名字：John Stockton
导演说他花了约两年才接到老史的电话，
老史说他不想成为吹捧乔爷的一部份
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.
跟老史的访谈拖到了2020/3/10才进行
之所以访谈这么晚，是因为这部纪录片本来是6月才要上映
但因为Rudy被确诊，整个NBA停摆
ESPN就提前进度，截至上周，最后几集仍有些时间轴被截切不完整
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.
最终，Stockton确定参与纪录片，并且他很可能扮演重要角色
他所属的爵士队在两次决赛中败给了公牛
这显然会帮Jordan带来更多的光采
Stockton不愿出面是可以被理解的
但他最终在影片中的出现为这个故事的关键增添了一些必要的声音
