Phil Jackson won 11 championships with one habit most people skip:

15 minutes of stillness every morning.

Before the Bulls. Before the Lakers. Before Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, and Rodman.

He sat still.

Jackson said if he didn't, he felt like he was "constantly chasing today, instead of being able to control it."

Most people think meditation is soft.

He treated it like training.

You train shooting. You train strength. You train conditioning.

Why wouldn't you train your mind?

That was the edge:

Bad call. Bad stretch. Missed shot.

Breathe. Reset. Come back clean.

Most people let the day hit them first, then spend the rest of it reacting.

Phil set the terms before the chaos started.

Well said.

Erik Spoelstra on the Five Core Tenants of Miami "Heat Culture":

1️⃣ Toughest
2️⃣ Nastiest
3️⃣ Best Conditioned
4️⃣ Most Professional
5️⃣ Least Liked

💪 Toughest = You do not need ideal circumstances to compete. You can absorb contact, handle adversity, and keep responding when the game stops being comfortable.

😷 Nastiest = You set the standard with your edge. You do not play entitled, passive, or polite. You compete with force, urgency, and a refusal to be easy to play against.

🍃 Best Conditioned = fatigue cannot become your excuse. When everybody else is negotiating with tired, your habits, preparation, and discipline allow you to keep executing.

👔 Most Professional = your standard does not change with your mood. You show up on time, do your job, accept coaching, tell the truth, and carry yourself like the work matters.

👎 Least Liked = when teams see you on the schedule they feel a wave of frustration, a smidge of anxiety, and that feeling you get before jump into a cold pool that feels like fear mixed with regret.

@Giannis_An34 will be indoctrinated into the @MiamiHEAT identity from day 1.

Heat Culture became (in)famous because words showed up in behaviors.

Everybody wants the reputation of toughness.

Coach Spo and the Heat built it through repetition. ☄️

📍 UAA Session 1

@caroline_brad23 of @pd_skillz is an imposing presence on the interior at both ends. Has tremendous size and length and uses it to make big time plays consistently.

Finishes well around the rim and is an avid shot blocker and rebounder.
