這場疫情大流行推延了NBA賽季，不過這並未阻止球迷欣賞籃球的歷史。《最後一舞》這部講述90年代芝加哥公牛隊王朝的紀錄片呈現了麥克·喬丹及其隊友前所未見的稀有鏡頭。

In the space of just 14 years, Michael Jordan defined himself as a global superstar-an NBA legend who transcended basketball and became a pop culture icon. The '80s and '90s were a never-ending highlight reel for Jordan and the Bulls, but since 1998, he's largely been off our screens-until now.

在不過十四年的時間內，麥克·喬丹將自己定成了一位全球超級巨星—一位超越籃球，成為流行文化偶像的NBA傳奇人物。對喬丹和公牛隊而言，1980和1990年代是一段持續不斷的精彩集錦，不過自1998年後，他已經幾乎沒有出現在熒幕上了——直到現在。

To go back to these series and to see how close they were to everything falling apart and for him to put that team on his back time and time again ... By the end of that '98 series, people were either physically or mentally checkedout, and Michael has [had] to carry the team once again.
If you wrote the ending to that series, and if you wrote episode 10 in the script, you'd be laughed out of a Hollywood office because it's so corny, but it actually came true. And who better to orchestrate that than Michael Jordan himself?
DON RIDDELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT

《最後一舞》導演 傑森·海爾
回顧這些系列賽，看到就差那麼一點點，一切就要分崩離析了，而他把球隊一次又一次地扛在背上.在98年系列賽結束前，大夥不是身體提不上勁，就是心不在焉，而麥可必須再度扛起球隊。
如果是你寫了那個系列的結局，如果是你寫出了第十集的劇本，你會在好萊塢的辦公室裡被笑掉大牙，因為那太陳腔濫調了，不過它確實成真了。而有誰會比麥可·喬丹本人更適合編寫那一切呢？
