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

Phil Jackson
Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.
Phil Jackson
I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.
Phil Jackson
People think I would never take on a team that has no legitimate chance to win a championship, This is one of the major misconceptions about me. Success can be measured in many different ways. . . . Either way, I would find the challenge invigorating.
Phil Jackson
I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
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
Yes, victory is sweet, but it doesn't necessarily make life any easier the next season or even the next day.
Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson
I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
Phil Jackson
Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.
Phil Jackson
An acrobatic dunk will make it onto Sports Center. A simple, unspectacular bounce pass in the rhythm of the offense will not. System basketball has been replaced by players who want to be the system.
Phil Jackson
I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.
Phil Jackson
The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.
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.
Phil Jackson
Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.
Phil Jackson
Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.
Phil Jackson
I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.
Phil Jackson
