According to Jason, senior leader of the Olympic basketball squad, Team USA has one mission when it takes the floor in China: Playing the game at its highest level.

As Jason explained it, he's surprised when his name doesn't appear in an article with his age next to it.

Jason was one of 12 players named to the official Olympic basketball team roster on Monday, ensuring that he'll be battling to win back the gold medal in Beijing.

Despite any impact it might have on his golf game, Jason is eagerly anticipating the Beijing Olympics, and a chance to bring the basketball gold medal back to America.

Jason Terry can't wait to play with J-Kidd next season. That's what he told Yahoo's J.E. Skeets in a recent interview.

As reported on Skeets' blog, Ball Don't Lie:

The new coach of the Dallas Mavericks could not be happier to have No. 2 helming the point.

Despite his best statistical effort thus far in the series, J-Kidd and the Mavs fell to the New Orleans Hornets in Game 5 of the playoffs opening round, 99-94.

According to the NY Times, Jason will not be suspended for his foul on Jannero Pargo in Game 4 of the Dallas-Hornets series.

After a jarring Sunday performance that saw Jason ejected and Dallas fall, 97-84, to the New Orleans Hornets, the Mavericks find themselves down 3-1 in the playoffs' opening round.

Looking for a split in New Orleans, Jason came out pushing the tempo and distributing the ball with a bucket and three early assists in the first quarter.
