Joining the Celtics in 2012 with championship aspirations, Jason Terry hoped to win another title by teaming up with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in Boston. Terry was so optimistic about Boston's championship chances that he got the Celtics logo holding up the Larry O'Brien trophy tattooed on his arm. The Celtics however, didn't win the championship that year and in the offseason, Terry was included in the infamous deal that sent Garnett and Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets.

Despite only spending one year in Boston, Terry, who is now playing with the Milwaukee Bucks against the Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs, enjoyed his time with the team. In fact, Terry considers himself to be a "Celtic for life."

“I’m a Celtic for life, man,” Terry said, via the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett. “I can honestly say that when you’re a part of an organization that is a championship organization and first class, it’s something that you’ll always cherish and remember.

“Though we didn’t have the success that I thought we would have, I’ll (never) forget being in Game 6 at home and New York blew us out. But by the end when everyone knew it was over, the fans were unbelievable. It felt like we were up 30. They were going crazy for us, and those are things that you’ll carry with you forever. And I’ll always remember being in Phoenix, on the road. We had more fans than Phoenix had.

“There’s just something about putting on the green and white that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.”

Terry also talked to Bulpett about the trade to Brooklyn and according to him, he was only part of the deal after Garnett told Celtics general manager Danny Ainge to include him.

“No, it was a great trade,” Terry said. “And for me at that point in my career, I didn’t want to rebuild. I wanted to be part of something special for an opportunity to win. So going with KG and Paul made it easy for me.

“Originally I was not supposed to be in that deal. Courtney Lee was. But KG said, ‘Danny, listen. Jet’s at a point in his career where he wants to win. Bring him with me. Put him in the deal. Do what you’ve got to do.’ That’s how I was in that trade to Brooklyn.”

Terry may look back fondly at his brief tenure with the Celtics but like the rest of the Bucks, he is looking to beat Boston in Game 6 on Thursday.
