see, even the best in the NBA appreciate tai chi. but here on "the world's best IMA forum" (TM), everyone loves to hate tai chi.

What Mr Bryant says is true but that comes awhile after going through a process and depth of learning, practicving, integrating, etc the many levels and understanding of continued practice over the "years".
What he says is positive and appears to be a concept the Bulls coach has attempted to teach over the decades. Being calm within chaos, not being ruffled by misgivings, misinterpretations, etc has been the
call from Coach Jackson, taiji or no taiji so a great Vision based on the calibre and outcomes for the Team.

that is just the "taijiquan is a Rorschach test" thing. "The Zen Master" Jackson probably already was trying to get them to be calm and ego-less, so that's what they see in the inkblot.
