By Phil Jackson, Hugh Delehanty

Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Sports & Outdoors

Sacred Hoops is Phil Jackson's 1995 book, written with Hugh Delehanty, about bringing Zen Buddhism and Native American spirituality to professional basketball. Jackson describes his upbringing, his years as a player with the New York Knicks and his path to coaching the Chicago Bulls. He explains how mindfulness, selflessness and the triangle offense helped turn Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and their teammates into champions, and how the same ideas can help any team work together.
