Zen And The Art Of The Free Throw

Sara talks mindfulness with the NBA’s master of flow, George Mumford.

They all fought hard. It was a great series. LeBron was amazing. But the Golden State Warriors took it last night. NBA champions, for the first time in 40 years. My guest today George Mumford watches basketball a little bit differently than most. He’s looking for flow, for focus, maybe for Zen. Mumford has taught mindfulness to Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal and Michael Jordan. Where NBA Zen master Phil Jackson goes, there goes Mumford. These days, almost everyone is looking for mindfulness. This hour On Point: the NBA’s master of flow, George Mumford, is in the house.
