More quotes by Phil Jackson
The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.
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
Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.
Phil Jackson
No one plays this or any game perfectly. It's the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is sharing.
Phil Jackson

Not everyone has a purpose.
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
I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.
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
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
The real value in everything you do is in the details.
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 thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.
Phil Jackson
I don't believe in curfews, because you can't treat men like they were boys without forfeiting a certain level of trust.
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
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.
