Jason Dixon
Jason Dixon is an American-born former professional basketball player.
Dixon played with teams in Turkey, Israel, Argentina, Sweden and Cyprus after his departure from Liberty in 1995. In 1998, he joined the Guangdong Southern Tigers, and was a member of their team which won five CBA league championships between 2004 and 2009. Following the conclusion of their championship 2009 season, Dixon retired from the Chinese Basketball Association. He would then play for the Philippine Patriots and the Thailand Tigers before retiring from basketball altogether.
On December 23, 2009, the Southern Tigers held a ceremony at Tigers Arena to retire his #15 jersey in honour of his contributions to the team. Dixon is only the second CBA player to have his jersey retired, with the first being Yao Ming. He was also the only international player to have their number retired for any team in the CBA before Tracy McGrady had his number retired by the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles in 2014.
