More quotes by Phil Jackson
Not everyone has a purpose.
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
In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way. Of course, it's no accident that things are more likely to go your way when you stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what's happening right this moment.
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
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 System basketball has been replaced by players who want to be the system.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
Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.
Phil Jackson
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
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
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
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
I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.
Phil Jackson
Coaching is about, How do I get people to play at their peak level? It is a spiritual quest. And if it's not that, you don't have a challenge, you don't have a mission. Forming a brotherhood and trying to move it forward - that's what coaching is.
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
I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.
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
The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.
Phil Jackson
I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
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
The real value in everything you do is in the details.

The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.
