More quotes by Phil Jackson
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
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
When the mind is allowed to relax, inspiration often follows.
Phil Jackson
My philosophy is that you can't motivate players with speeches, you have motivated players that you draft. That's where they come in and those are the guys that are competitive. You cannot teach competitiveness.
Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson
The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.
Phil Jackson
I'm a patient person. I think that's one thing that I feel comfortable I can deal with - the downfall and the errors, as long as I see progress and people trying.
Phil Jackson
What moves me is watching young men bond together and tap into the magic that arises when they focus with their whole heart and soul on something greater than themselves. Once you've experienced that, it's something you never forget.
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
I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.
Phil Jackson
The greatness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive. The weakness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive
Phil Jackson
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phil Jackson
I will have Derek Fisher wear all 5 of his rings the first time he comes in to talk to Carmelo.
Phil Jackson
The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.
