Dallas Mavericks legend Jason Terry takes assistant job at Arizona

The Dallas Mavericks traded for Jason Terry in 2004. He was the tenth overall pick by the Hawks in 1999. Terry had become a proven scorer and starting guard, but Atlanta missed the playoffs in each of his first five seasons. That left Terry looking for a fresh start.

The Jet quickly became the Mavericks’ second-leading scorer. They made the playoffs in all eight seasons he spent in Dallas. Terry was a key piece in the Mavs run to the finals in 2006.
