George Mumford is the sport psychologist and mindfulness expert who worked with Phil Jackson’s Chicago Bulls.  The duo also went together to LA where Kobe Bryant, after initial skepticism, considers Mumford one of the most influential people in his life.  Keeping with the trend, Jackson brought Mumford to the Knicks as the “personal and organizational development consultant,” working with players such as Jerian Grant and Kristaps Porzingis at summer league to “build the muscle of the mind.”
