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?
Jason Terry: 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.
Q: I didn't even know that The Iceman tutors players in the offseason. What do you work on with him?
A: He really doesn't. I think he's trained one other guy and that was Stephon Marbury and he had his best scoring year that year Ice trained him. He doesn't really do it, so it's an honor. I give him a lot of credit for my success.
On the court, I think we made 500 jumpers a day, but it's all midrange. No 3-pointers. He shows me how to get where I want to get on the court and be able to rise up and shoot and square my shoulders. He has this thing called "one piece." That's the [method] that he used. So every time I shoot, every time he grabs the rebound, he's over there screaming, "One piece, one piece."
Q: How did you pull off working out all summer with a Spurs legend? I've got to be honest: You're not exactly the most popular guy in San Antonio.
A: Not at all, not at all. But my uncle's from Detroit, where Ice is from. His high school coach -- Coach Meriweather -- he told me, "Ice would love to work with you and all you've got to do is call him." I called him back when I was in Atlanta and he told me: "Young fella, I'm a big fan of your game, I've been watching you. Come down and let's spend some time together."
Q: So these workouts are actually in San Antonio? I'm guessing you get a few dirty looks walking through the airport.
A: Oh, yeah. The facility that we work out at -- Concord Athletic Club -- it's all Spurs fans. As soon as I walk in the door, they're like, "What the heck you doin' up in here?" But I love it. No doubt [Gervin] is the best as far as getting to the spot, pulling up and squaring your shoulders. He's the best."
Q: It's definitely working for you. You're leading the Sixth Man Award race and we're starting to hear people throw your name out for the All-Star team. But one last question: Why didn't you have him teach you how to finger-roll?
A: He told me it's like trying to teach me how to be 6-6. Never gonna happen.
LMAO spursfans
Good thing I don't go to Concord anymore or else I may have vomited if I saw George Gervin tutoring Jason Terry.
That said, gotta give Gervin a free pass. He could go tutor Kobe Bryant on specifically how to use a finger-roll to score on Duncan every time and he'd still be good graces in my book.
Jet is a
all true spurs fans know it
Im a true spurs fan, and I have no clue what Terrys sexual preference is. And this must explain why I aint seen the Iceman so much this year. Ill always be an Iceman fan, he is why I started watching the Spurs. The Iceman and his finger roll put San Antonio on the map, not all our rings. But Im gonna call him what my youngest son calls me when I make fun of Finley and Fab. A back stabber...........with a pass.
In between feeling like I'm about to throw up in my mouth, I have mixed emotions reading this. Kind of like watching your ex-girlfriend or ex-wife take up with your worst enemy. Ice is and will always be my main man. I guess I'll give him a pass on this one, too. After all, that fake-ass Turtle can't beat the Spurs by himself - not without rendering some of his typical cheap-shot artistry.
That ball-punching Terry can really fill it up makes this worse. Come on, George, there's plenty of money around elsewhere.
I hate Terry but Ice is Ice, you can't get mad at him
While it is strange to see Ice tutor one of the players Spurs fans hate the most, you can't be mad at Ice. He's just an ex player trying to make a difference for a current player out of respect for the game.
Even though I hate that lil' turtle-headed bas Terry, I do know that he has a deep appreciation for ol school players. Thus his high socks. He's still a lil' punk-ass .
that bum!!!!!
He looks like Slick Watts.
It's the Ice Man baby. He's into that stuff. Rehabilitating juveniles. Good for him.
The only thing that will make this worse is if the Spurs play the Mavs in the playoffs and Terry goes off. I'm sure he'd give a lot of credit to Ice.
Gervin used to train Benoit Benjamin a few years back. Now that was an odd sight.
LMAO I wish I could've seen the look on those fat, overweight spurfans trying to play basketball when a Maverick walked in.
JET's the man. He's way better than anyone on this board gives him credit for.
whats next is gervin going to be a coach for the mavs?
or is ginobili going to teach rudy fernandez all of his moves?
TRADER ha
I don't really see any skill/talent in Jason Terry. Anyone can make jump shots. He had one good series against the Spurs and then he shoots well against us, but he's pretty mediocre outside the 2006 Spurs series....Jason Terry's an idiot.
Is this a personal remark or is there nothing personal?
Probobly just chuckled thinking that he had to get trained by a Spur to play better.
How come he didn't seek out Rolando Blackman's help?
Besides, isn't he the one who claimed that he "hates everything about the Spurs"? What a hypocrite.
I guess some of us have literacy issues. Gervin began mentoring Terry when he was with Atlanta. They established a teacher/student relationship back then. So now here they are having a working relationship, and Terry ends up in Dallas. Gervin isn't just gonna give Terry the cold shoulder now that he is a Mav.
He hates winning?
Answers alot of questions....
Are you telling me you can shoot like he can? Then why aren't you in the NBA?
This thread isn't about that. It's about spurfan having their panties in a wad over a nice guy like JET wanting to work on his game.
Were you one of the fatasses with the sour look on his face when they walked in?
