Phil Jackson Quotes


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.

Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you`ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.

I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.

Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.
