Terry training with the Iceman

by MeanMr.Mustard on Jan 3, 2009 7:43 PM CST

From a Jason Terry Q&A on the Weekend Dime:

Q: You're off to the best start of your career and I heard recently that you worked out over the summer with George Gervin. How did that come about?

A: He started training me in 2002 and then I went back to him this summer. We played golf and trained three times a day. The thing about it is, once you've been in the league for 10 years, you know how to shoot. But just being with a guy that's a Hall of Famer and him just building you up mentally, I think that does more than all the shooting.

Some interesting stuff in there... Talks about working on his mid-range pull up as opposed to 3's.

I wish Marc Stein still wrote for the DMN. His stuff beats Sefko and David Moore any day.

Good read, thanks for sharing

And great that Terry still is eager to learn new things at 30+

doesn’t matter in this case, fans vote the starters…. so forget about that one right now.
and for the reserves they will probably have a hard choice [to make] to get dirk in..

melo
amare
duncan
artest might pass him, too (in votes)

and for the guards..

kobe tmac roy paul billups parker ginobili kidd, williams and nash might get in by their pure reputation edge [amongst coaches]

My initial thought

Why is Jason Terry training with Chuck Liddell?

"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?"
