More quotes by Phil Jackson
He practiced against Kobe all of last year, so obviously it was sweet revenge for him. We deserved that. We didn't know who he was, we gave him up to Charlotte, we had no idea how good a player he was.
Phil Jackson
My accountant tells me I can't be a California resident anymore. I spend too much of my time in New York.
Phil Jackson
Not everyone has a purpose.
Phil Jackson
The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is sharing.
Phil Jackson
The real value in everything you do is in the details. I just like that quote. A very similar way to say the same thing. If you're washing dishes you pay attention to washing dishes. If you're driving a car, you're paying attention to driving the car.
Phil Jackson
Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.
Phil Jackson
If we can accept whatever hand we've been dealt - no matter how unwelcome - the way to proceed eventually becomes clear.
Phil Jackson

You go in the weight room and you lift weights and you do all these things to strengthen your body. This is strengthening your mind. When you can stay focused and you can use that focus to always come back with your breath to center yourself, so that you're kind of floating in the moment, in the spirit.
Phil Jackson
Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game - and life - will take care of itself.
Phil Jackson
The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.
Phil Jackson
Basketball, unlike football with its prescribed routes, is an improvisational game, similar to jazz. If someone drops a note, someone else must step into the vacuum and drive the beat that sustains the team.
Phil Jackson
I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
Phil Jackson
When the mind is allowed to relax, inspiration often follows.
Phil Jackson
I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.
Phil Jackson
I know what it takes to be a coach. I've gone through that. I think I came up short my last season. Lots of things were happening physically to me, and emotionally, perhaps mentally, too. I thought it was time to tend to more important things, like health and like family. I still enjoy that, and I don't think I have any need to go back to coach.
Phil Jackson
The problem with trading dominant players of that size is you never get in return what you've bargained away.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is a sport that involves the subtle interweaving of players at full speed to the point where they are thinking and moving as one.
