It's the moment, man! It's the moment! @present_xx: Stills from "The Last Dance" about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls 😎❤️ "These things really work," said Jordan after his famous game-winner against Utah Jazz. "You feel that the crowd is silent, and that moment begins to be The moment for me. That’s part of Zen Buddhism and as soon as you get into that state, things start moving slowly and you start to see the court very well. Then you read what the defence is trying to do and I saw it all at that moment." Legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson brought George Mumford, author of "The Mindful Athlete", to the Bulls in 1993 to teach the players meditation. According to George Mumford, Michael Jordan said "that Zen Buddhist stuff really works!" But he didn’t teach Michael to push distractions away, but instead to embrace them, to become fully aware, noticing and observing everything around him, and then to let it all go; stepping out of his own way and taking the perfect shot. I think we all want to take the perfect shot in life. But we’re often too distracted. Social media, billboards, cars honking, kids screaming, you name it, we’re constantly pulled left and right. But it’s actually not much different than Jordan. Pressure, sponsors, thousands of screaming fans, guys yelling, bumping and sweating, and him needing to quiet the mind, let go of it all, and take that perfect shot. —Excerpt from an essay by Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee on MJ and George Mumford 🙌
