全美瘋追喬丹的「最後之舞」演什麼？　MJ：看完大家都會怕我

在球員時期，喬丹(Michael Jordan)是世界體育史上獨一無二的選手。但是在喬丹離開美國職業籃球(NBA)賽場過去17年之後，其華麗的名聲也逐漸褪色。現在，NBA球迷之間也圍繞詹姆斯(LeBron James)和喬丹誰更出色的問題出現爭議。

“I was working with a really long lens. I was just trying to shoot anything different… the guy was hand checking him and [Michael] grabbed his wrist. Michael wasn’t pushing him away, more so holding on to him and trying to push him off balance. Most players would freak out with someone [hand checking them] but he was able to mess with the person who was guarding him like that. It was a great job on the part of my film editor because it’s a really unique frame. It’s probably one of my favorite frames. I don’t think it’s been used in many places but I love the picture because you don’t see players do that to other players. You don’t see a tight defensive player being messed with like that.” (📸: @andyhaytphoto)

在因擔心新型冠狀病毒(Covid19病毒)擴散而中斷NBA的情況下，美國媒體ESPN開始了找方法翻出舊資料，用現代方式重新詮釋喬丹的偉大。ESPN在1997∼1998賽季一直跟隨喬丹，以及他效力的芝加哥公牛隊，並留下了一段不為人知的影片。

20日(台北時間)，該畫面終於問世。ESPN決定，將非公開影片和去年拍攝的採訪等綜合在一起，講述喬丹一生的紀錄片《最後之舞The Last Dance》，並從當天開始播放。喬丹親自出演講述自己人生的長篇紀錄片，說明當時的情況。

雖然喬丹積極地參與了拍攝，但在節目播出前，他似乎有些不安。他在接受體育媒體《The Athletic》的採訪時表示：「看了這部紀錄片後，有時會擔心人們會認為我是個可怕的家夥(horrible man)。」喬丹之所以如此擔心，是因為他在球員時期以身為非常嚴厲的領袖聞名。

"He helped me so much in the way I approached the game, in the way I played the game. Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen." _ _ _ _ “I didn't win without Scottie Pippen. And that's why I consider him my best teammate of all-time." – Michael Jordan, #TheLastDance on ESPN

而昨天首映的喬丹紀錄片播出前兩集，結果收視率馬上創下ESPN紀錄片歷史紀錄。這部紀錄片在ESPN和ESPN2的平均收視觀眾是610萬，這是ESPN歷史上被觀看最多的紀錄片。

《喬丹之舞》一共有10集，現在前兩集播放之後，剩下來的8集將在接下來當地時間每周日9點在ESPN和ESPN2上收看，將持續一個月之久。完全可以肯定，NBA停擺已經一個多月，全美的觀眾都沒有體育賽事可看，而這部紀錄片來得正是時候，將成為NBA球迷的大餐。
