Mavericks guard Jason Terry practices what he preaches. At a coat giveaway at Dallas' downtown homeless shelter, he donated two of his own coats to the less fortunate, including a favorite mink jacket. "I was going through my close this morning and was about to put it on myself and I said, 'Nah, someone else could use it,'" Terry told FOX 4. The lucky recipient was Terry Simmons, who has been volunteering without pay at the shelter for the last several weeks. "My mouth fell, my forehead started sweating," Simmons laughed. "For the last three weeks I haven't made money so I guess God just seen fit to give me a coat." Terry has headed up the month-long coat drive at Mavericks games and Dave and Busters locations. Simmons said he always thought the NBA star was a good guy. "Now I see he has a big heart. He's down to earth. I have a lot of respect for the man."
