Jason Eugene Terry (aka JET) was an essential figure on the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks. Paired with Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki, Terry made key basket after key basket in the playoffs, helping to lead the Dallas franchise to its first-ever title. But Terry is no stranger to winning. Born in Seattle, Washington, the prolific scoring guard won two state championships with Franklin High School in the early '90s. Then he won another ring in college at the University of Arizona in 1996. The 2009 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Jason today is a lead assistant coach with the Utah Jazz, a franchise he is trying to help bring back to the limelight. Known for his signature headband and his knack for big moments on the court, Jason is one of the key figures of the twenty-first century NBA.
