A big storyline in the fifth episode of the ESPN documentary “The Last Dance,” which aired Sunday night, was how Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas was left off the 1992 “Dream Team,” the group of mostly NBA players that led the United States to the gold medal in the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
Although no direct mention of the Utah Jazz was made on the subject Sunday, their two players who did make the team — John Stockton and Karl Malone — did end up being key figures in the saga of Thomas not being on the team.
