MJ and Phil Jackson on Mindfulness and Visualization

“Something we talked about a lot as a team was how to be in the moment. Being able to visualize what might happen in those times. Michael so embraced this, I think that was the beauty of his game - he had all these abilities to adjust, not force his own predetermined idea but allow those things to come together for his game.”
- Phil Jackson on Michael Jordan’s mindfulness
“(With visualization), things tend to slow down. As I go into situations that people don’t know the outcome, I’ve already experienced them in my mind. Just playing tricks with myself, so it didn’t seem new to me. I wasn’t afraid to fail. Once I began to understand, I became a master of the game of basketball.”
- Michael Jordan

Phil’s sky hook

[@SumboodyNao]

Smooth. Didn’t expect that at all.

[@Wyndamn]

He did play in the NBA with the Knicks.

[@user-cj8mc1zk3g]

Strong

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

In one fluid motion he reached out for the ball and swung it over with a sky hook.

[@kristianjohnson8787]

@@CreativeBigL NICE ONE! But nah…it was probably focused on building his career 119-60 playoff win/loss record next to Larry’s 99-65 win/loss record, which is 20 more wins, 5 fewer loses. Also his 3 more championships, 2 fewer finals losses, 3 more finals MVP’s, 2 more league MVP’s, 10 more scoring titles, 1 more DPOY, 2 more 1st team all nba selections, 9 more 1st team all defensive selections, 1 more Olympic Gold… Oh yeah…I almost forgot about your tired “sweep” point…both Michael & Bird were swept in the playoffs 2 times…🤷‍♂️ Only Michael’s were in his 1st two years in the league & Larry’s were in his 4th year & 9th year…depending on how you want to count it. And none of that takes away from how awesome Bird was…so why would you think the 2 sweeps would take away from MJ? Complete juvenile point.

“(With visualization), things tend to slow down. As I go into situations that people don’t know the outcome, I’ve already experienced them in my mind. Just playing tricks with myself, so it didn’t seem new to me" So impressed with how Jordan view things and prepare himself with situation, very intellectual, articulate, and solid spirit. Jordan had the dr.strange innate power, no wonder he succeeded in basketball and in life.

I don't think many basketball fans and especially people who aren't basketball fans realize how hard a hook shot is to make

[@rickyj1250]

With the left hand too

[@blessedbetit665]

Damn near everyday, for an entire summer, I played one on one with a Naval Academy math professor; he would bring these two huge German Shepherds with him. We'd play for hours and he had an insane hook shot that he developed from formulating different angles on the court.

[@bollicaolover1549]

​@@blessedbetit665 in my neighborhood there is this physician who also only does is hook shot. From the three point line also. It's amazing to watch

[@jgsarchangel]

It is pretty difficult. Takes a lot of practice.

[@bigben1986]

This mind set that Phil had with the Bulls is incredible. I don't think any other coach in the history of the NBA did this. especially Phil adapting to native American culture the way he did and still does!

[@mikemcgrath6150]

The most elusive thing for an athlete is controlling the fear of failure reaction. U can have all the physical abilities but if u lose confidence in the crucial moments it doesn't matter. I always think of the Yankees of 96 to 2001, talented but mostly mentally tough. Dominated. Then they brought in all these high price tag hall of fame sluggers and had some but much less success. They were in the moment but didn't deliver. Jordan is the greatest bc hes the perfect storm individually, the tortoise and the hare and mentally impervious to fear of failure. Bird to me is more perfect as a team player, basketball a team sport, but obviously not the athlete Jordan was so hes second overall to me.

[@thecourier6067]

Very well stated. Larry is also my second favorite player.

Phil Jackson is one of the most overrated coaches. He had some of the greatest players ever to touch a basketball, so of course he won chips. Put Phil to coach the current Miami Heat roster and he would NOT produce like Coach Spoe has done. Coach Spoe can coach both great players and good players to get great results.

[@user-pn9un3dc8y]

This Is a weak argument because you can’t prove that they would win without him. Oh wait, yes you can. They all didn’t win anything unless it was with Phil Jackson. There’s no evidence supporting your drivel.
