Jason "JT" Terry, all time leader in steals at
the University of Arizona was the 10th overall
pick in the 1999 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks
where he played until traded to his current
team, the Dallas Mavericks in 2004.
JT holds the distinction of scoring 1,000
points, and 200 steals the most in Arizona
history. In his senior year, he was named First
Team All-American by Associated Press, National
Player of The Year by Sports Illustrated,
CBS/Chevrolet and Rawlings Basketball Player of
the Year and Pac-10 Player of the Year. He still
wears his trademark knee high "cat socks", a
tradition at Arizona.
At Dallas the 6'2 guard and eight year pro
averages 17 points per game.
Ever the supporter of community causes, JT for
the third consecutive year donated funds to
Gilda's Club of North Texas, a cancer support
program. This year the $16,400 donation
represented $100 for each of the 164 three point
goals he made during the 2006-2007 Mavericks
season. His donation was matched by the Credit
Union of Texas and an anonymous donor bringing
the total of the donation to nearly $50,000.
He regularly participates in the NBA Read To
Achieve and NBA All Star Reading Teams.
While with the Hawks, his foundation started in
2000, hosted the Jason Terry All Star Hoops
Showdown celebrity weekend including a basket
ball game featuring an All Star roster of NBA
talent at Phillips Arena to raise funds for the
United Negro College Fund metro Atlanta
universities. He also established a computer lab
in Seattle and holds his annual summer camps for
boys and girls in Seattle, Tucson and in 2003,
Atlanta. The NBA honored him with the Community
Assist Award in 2002 and he will be recognized
by Coca Cola and Boost Mobile as the 2007 Image
Leader in Dallas the week of August 20.
The son of Andrea Cheatham and Curtis Terry,
Jason is one of 10 children and was born in
Seattle Washington where he graduated from
Franklin High School.
He and his wife Johnyika have four daughters. |
