Off to a slow start of a career as primarily a backup player, Barry did get chances to contribute to playoff runs of some good teams (scored 739 points in 82 appearances with the 2001–2002 Central Division champion Detroit Pistons) and scored 326 career playoff points in 63 NBA playoff games over 14 seasons. He had two games with 5 three-point shots and had six games with 5 steals, and has 5,041 season and playoff points total.

In addition to the [[Milwaukee Bucks]] and [[Detroit Pistons]], Jon played for the [[Atlanta Hawks]], [[Los Angeles Lakers]], [[Golden State Warriors]], [[Sacramento Kings]], [[Denver Nuggets]] and most recently the [[Houston Rockets]]. Barry had 12 first-half points in a 3-minute span in the deciding game 5 of the first round of the [[2002 NBA playoffs]] in the Detroit Pistons' series against the [[Toronto Raptors]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lage |first1=Larry |title=Pistons force Raptors into playoff extinction |url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/nba/02playoffs/games/2002-05-02-raptors-pistons.htm |website=usatoday30.usatoday.com |access-date=June 4, 2020 |date=May 3, 2002}}</ref> Barry left the Pistons after the 2002–03 season, and was also released from the Rockets on March 1, 2006, which marked the end of his NBA playing career.<ref>{{cite web |title=Notes: Rockets release Jon Barry; Bulls cut Tim Thomas |url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2006-03-01-noteboook_x.htm |website=usatoday30.usatoday.com |access-date=June 4, 2020 |date=March 1, 2006}}</ref>
