Jason Terry quotes:

My mission is to kill; whether it's the Heat, whether it's the Lakers. Hopefully both. That's my mission, and that's what I'm here to do.

Im not impressed by anything the Miami Heat does...

I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.

My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.

To be one of the special ones, you've got to want to take that shot-you've also got to be willing to fail, learn from it, come back and take that shot again.

Obviously, I know what I'm best at: catch-and-shoot. But I can put the ball on the floor.

I dedicated myself to the game and never disrespected it.

Every time I step on the court I want to be up there with the best.

I've won at every level.

Whether you're a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

If you can take pride in what you're doing on defense, it's going to be pretty hard for that offensive opponent to go by you or make a shot over you.

In high school, I was just a guy who ran the court and played defense. Now I have the whole package.

Obviously, you want to get the best deal possible for yourself, but teams just don't want to spend that money for fear of being in the luxury tax.

I'm amazed at my progress.
