Terry, who last played in the NBA at age 40 for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2017-18 season, played the majority of his career as a member of the Dallas Mavericks (eight seasons).
Sure enough, he had his most successful stint with the Mavs. Terry won the 2008-09 Sixth Man of The Year award after averaging a career-high 19.6 points on top of 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Terry was also on the title-winning Dallas team of 2010-11 — when the underdog Texas squad defeated the Miami Heat and their Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
The Jet started his career with the Atlanta Hawks and was drafted No.10 overall in the 1999 NBA Draft. Terry produced his best assist numbers as a member of the Hawks, averaging 5.5 dimes a contest during his five-year tenure in Atlanta.
Later on in his career, Terry was called upon as a veteran point guard and as spot-up 3-point shooter. He bounced around between four teams in his final six seasons, starting with the Boston Celtics in 2012-13, the Brooklyn Nets in 2013-14, the Houston Rockets from 2014 to 2016 and finally finishing his career with the Bucks from 2016 to 2018.
As a well-traveled veteran who played (and contributed) at age 40 in the NBA, Jason Terry would surely make for an engaging and strong-willed coach wherever he lands.
