They changed the rules to reduce physicality on defense, that's a fact, not sure if "I don't believe it" is a valid point. Even older players talk about how much today's generation couldn't "cut it" back in their day cause they'd get hit too much. Offense is also harder now because of the elimination of illegal defense. One of the reasons dominant centers aren't as prevalent today is because it's MUCH harder to pass the ball into the post since guys can basically play zoneNzone against the post pass. That doesn't mean that Shaq or The Admiral wouldn't be great players today, they just wouldn't be AS dominant.I'm not saying the elimination of illegal defense is a bigger deal than hand checking, just that there are differences to both sides. One era wasn't "harder" than another, they just had different rules and players in every era need to learn how to excel in the current version of the game.</blockquote>
