Basketball used to be a non-contact sport where one of the objects was to try and stop your opponent from scoring without fouling him. Now it has come down to the ''cheap'', ''intentional'', and ''flagrant'' fouls. PLus they added a 6th foul so there are more to give, and players stay in longer. These guys today couldn't play by the old rules. They'd all foul out.
