1997 Final Four MVP Miles Simon knows a significant reason why Arizona went all the way 18 years ago was because of Jason Terry’s unselfishness.
Huge congrats to my teammate @jasonterry31 on getting his jersey retired!!! Big time honor and well deserved @APlayersProgram #champion #31

Fitting that James Harden and Terry, Houston Rockets’ teammates, will be honored on consecutive nights with reflective numbers at arch-rival schools.
Arizona State will honor the No. 13 jersey of James Harden on Feb. 18. The next night, Arizona will retire the No. 31 of Jason Terry.

Site founder and award-winning sports journalist Javier Morales has published his first e-book, “The Highest Form of Living”, a fiction piece about a young man who overcomes a troubled upbringing without his lost father (a Vietnam War POW) and wayward mother through basketball and hope. His hope is realized through the sport he loves. Basketball enables him to get past his fears. His experience on the court indirectly brings him closer to his parents in a unique, heartfelt way.

The same can be said for Sean Miller’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson when it is all said and done. Terry is a great symbol for any coach to let it be known sacrificing for the good of the team trumps everything.
.@jasonterry31 is the consummate teammate and professional, and someone we are all very proud to call a Wildcat. #APlayersProgram

Reggie Geary, like Terry, was not a starting point guard for Arizona until their senior year. Both waited for their turn.
Congrats to Jason Terry! Just heard his #31 jersey is being retired by The Univ. of Arizona. #classact #theJet #GoCats

What number will Matt Korcheck wear after Feb. 19?

Winning another NBA title this year would be a nice cap to Terry’s illustrious career.
