Today's game is cleaner. Yeah, there's less physicality to it. This coupled with added muscle mass and muscle training among the players. Less bumping in the paint with a collapsing defense. Less elbows thrown. Less bodying for the rebound. Boxing out almost seems like a lost art, especially with some players. The more agile players of today are better at shying away from body contact and contorting their bodies in the air in ways such as to avoid the contact and thus this should result in fewer fouls and injuries, but that desired result does not seem to be met. Similarly, the game is reffed with the desire for a cleaner game that should result in fewer injuries, but that desired result does not seem to come to fruition.
