More quotes by Phil Jackson
I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.
Phil Jackson
The strength of the team lies within the individual. And the strength of the individual lies within the team
Phil Jackson
No one plays this or any game perfectly. It's the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins.
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 System basketball has been replaced by players who want to be the system.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
The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.
Phil Jackson
Not everyone has a purpose.
Phil Jackson
The greatness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive. The weakness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive

I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.
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
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

Phil Jackson
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
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
I will have Derek Fisher wear all 5 of his rings the first time he comes in to talk to Carmelo.
Phil Jackson
I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is sharing.
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
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
Pau is one of the best big men in the game. I mean, Pau Gasol is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
Phil Jackson
When the mind is allowed to relax, inspiration often follows.
