Jet homecoming

Seattle holds a place close to Jason Terry’s heart … literally. The Emerald City native has a “206” tattoo (Seattle’s area code) on his chest with the city’s skyline serving as a backdrop.

Terry has done extensive charity work here supporting athletic and academic programs, including the building of a computer center. Last season, his high school retired his number during a Mavs’ visit.

Terry’s current ticket count for tonight is about 50. He expected it to get to 80, but the count topped out at 73.

“It’s always special,” he said of coming home.
