Jason Terry, a former NBA player who retired in 2018, joined Master Tesfatsion on an episode of “Untold Stories.” Terry reflected on his time in the league, but the more entertaining portion being the time he was dunked on by LeBron James.
He mentions during the interview, “I want to say it was one of the lowest moments of my career, but at the same time, I mean I'll forever go down in history. Like, you got dunked on by the King!”
Listening to The Jet's side of the story comes with some comic relief. Especially when Jason Terry mentions how it's the top question he's asked by the public in regards to his career.
“Every camp, every clinic around America I go and talk to kids, they don't ask, like, ‘how did it feel to play 19 years,” Jason Terry said. “How did it feel to play with Dirk (Nowitzki), or win a championship?' (instead, they ask) how did it feel for LeBron to dunk on you like that?”
Furthermore, it is quite comical listening to Jason Terry describe the famous moment. He mentions how it happened in “slow motion,” and even asks himself, “and what made me jump, is what I'm trying to figure out.”
He was even roasted by his teammates, and his Wikipedia page was updated at the time, claiming he died that day from LeBron's dunk. It's nice to see Jason Terry have a light-hearted approach to the event that happened back in 2013 while he played for the Boston Celtics.
Jason Terry played in the NBA for 19 years, averaging 13.4 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game. LeBron James is still getting after it, putting up crazy numbers, for the Los Angeles Lakers.
