On August 4, 2004, Terry was traded by the Hawks along with Alan Henderson and a future first-round draft pick to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Antoine Walker and Tony Delk. Known by his initials JET, mimicking an airplane with his arms as the wings became part of his persona in Dallas. He quickly emerged as a fan favorite despite arriving as the replacement for Steve Nash after the unpopular decision to let Nash leave in free agency.

In his first season in Dallas, Terry appeared in a team-high 80 games (started 57 of final 58 games) and averaged 12.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, team-high 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 30.0 minutes per game. He joined Steve Nash as the only other player to shoot at least 50% from the floor, 40% from 3-point range and 80% from the foul line.

In 80 games during the 2005–06 season, Terry averaged 17.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, team-high 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.0 minutes per game. He helped the Mavericks reach the 2006 NBA Finals. He had 32 points in 37 minutes in Game 1 against the Miami Heat to become the fifth player to score at least 30 points in his first NBA Finals game, joining Michael Jordan, Shawn Kemp, Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson. In Game 5 of the series, Terry had 35 points. Despite going up 2–0 in the series, the Mavericks lost to Miami in six games.

On July 1, 2006, Terry and the Mavericks agreed on a six-year deal believed to be worth more than $50 million.{{cite web|last=Stein|first=Marc|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2506660|title=Terry, Mavericks quickly agree to six-year deal|work=ESPN.com|date=July 1, 2006|access-date=November 28, 2017}}

In the West Conference Semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, Terry scored a playoff-high 32 points in Game 4.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=310508006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160909084504/http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=310508006|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 9, 2016|title=Jason Terry ties NBA playoff record as Mavs sweep defending champions|work=ESPN.com|date=May 8, 2011|access-date=November 28, 2017}} His 9 3-pointers tied an NBA playoff record held by Rex Chapman, who set it in April 1997 with the Phoenix Suns.

In the 2011 NBA Finals, against the Miami Heat, Terry averaged 18.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 32.5 minutes over the six games. He recorded 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in 30 minutes in Game 5 to become the first sub to record at least 20 points and 5 assists in a Finals game since Michael Cooper in 1987.

Controversies

NCAA Lawsuit Over Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)

In July 2024, Terry and three other former University of Arizona basketball players initiated legal action against the NCAA. The lawsuit alleged that the NCAA had utilized their name, image, and likeness (NIL) without consent in March Madness highlight reels and promotional materials. The plaintiffs sought compensation for the unauthorized use of their identities.{{Cite web |last=Amacher |first=Ezra |date=2024-07-03 |title=Jason Terry among former Arizona players suing NCAA over NIL use in March Madness highlights |url=https://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2024/7/3/24191847/jason-terry-former-arizona-wildcats-suing-ncaa-over-nil-use-in-march-madness-highlights? |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=Arizona Desert Swarm |language=en}}

1999 NCAA Tournament Violation

While attending the University of Arizona, Terry was implicated in a controversy related to NCAA rules violations. In 1999, reports indicated that he had received approximately $11,500 in unauthorized benefits from agents. Consequently, the university forfeited its sole game in the 1999 NCAA Tournament and returned 45% of its tournament revenue share.{{Cite web |title=UA Reports Rules Violations By Former Basketball Player Jason Terry |url=https://arizonawildcats.com/sports/2000/6/29/207915267? |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=University of Arizona Athletics |language=en}}
