Jet: Stop, drop & roll

The way Devin Harris attacks the basket, he knows some pretty hard falls are coming from time-to-time. Jason Terry said players have to be aware of those that surround the court – fans and photographers – throughout the game and actually prepare for falls.

“I’m always cognizant,” Terry said. “There’s a technique you have to use. Sometimes you can’t control yourself. It’s the heat of the moment.”

Hearing this, Dirk Nowitzki called from across the locker room: “What’s the technique, Jet?”

“Stop, drop and roll,” Terry answered without skipping a beat.

Sounds like valuable advice on the basketball court … or if you’re on fire.
