Official: JET named Sixth Man of the Year
Quote:
Six shooter: Dallas Mavericks' Jason Terry named NBA's top sub
10:22 AM CDT on Wednesday, April 22, 2009
By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News
esefko@dallasnews.com
Mavericks guard Jason Terry has been voted the NBA's sixth man of the year, a league source said Wednesday.
Terry, who averaged 19.6 points and came off of the bench in 63 of the 74 games he played, is expected to be honored at a Friday news conference.
Coach Rick Carlisle said on many occasions during the season that Terry's willingness to come off the bench was a key to the Mavericks reaching the 50-win plateau for the ninth consecutive season.
"Most players would want to start and would feel that not starting would probably not be in their best personal interests," Carlisle said in the season's final week. "The thing I respect and admire most about Jet is he's a team guy. He makes it about winning.
"If he didn't have an upbeat, positive feeling, it could have gone the other way."
Terry had been a starter virtually his whole career, but his scoring this season was just one-tenth off of his career best 19.7 points accomplished in his second season. His ability to come off the bench and heat up quickly was a terrific weapon for the Mavericks this season.
Terry said recently that this had been an enlightening season for him in many respects as he learned the subtleties of coming off the bench and providing an offensive spark.
"Coach Carlisle, what he's set up and how he caters to me when I come off the bench in terms of getting me involved right away, that's big," Terry said late in the season. "And Jason Kidd's alertness, obviously, being able to find me. It's a team award, for sure."

I love Jason Eugene Terry! And I've said it before, but I'll say it again: if I wasn't married to a wonderful man, I would become JET's psycho stalker! Congrats to the object of my adoration!

You know, I share a similar sentiment. JET is second on my list (after Dirk, of course) of Mavs that I would really love to just hang out with and get to know. While I wouldn't classify him as an "object of my adoration" (my fiancee might get a little upset about that), his passion, sincerity, and commitment to giving his best effort are very attractive qualities, IMO.
Congrats, JET!

Terry really has a great presence in front of the mic. Few guys in the NBA have that. Kobe is another one.
