I'll take flagrant fouls over this
No doubt foul hunting was always a thing but never to this extent. As you posted earlier Vlade was a pioneer, brining that Euro soccer flopping mentality to the NBA, and then Ginobili and Wade made offensive flopping mainstream.What Trae does is horrible and they need to do everything possible to ban it.
That being said, back in the day Bill Laimbeer and Dennis Rodman would regularly spend entire games foul-hunting too. They didn't get as many free throws for it because a lot of them were offensive and loose ball fouls. But they were constantly trying to exploit every possible situation in order to get a foul call.
Yup, plus they were worse at shooting
Which I think allowed them to play better athletes and thus better defenders

But now I feel like it's completely out of hand. Past 5 season the league made it a point to ban these fouls but like every officiating rule they try to emphasize they just abandon it 10-15 games into the season
They didn't get away with flagrants the game was called to allow more physicality. That's not getting away with flagrants.
Hell these nikkas can't even make it through warmups.FOH.

Not, it was wild uneven. You'd see Jordan shoot 15 free throws a game and half of them would be on touch fouls, then someone would get mauled on the other end and there'd be no call. I remember multiple plays where Karl Malone would swing an intentional elbow and give someone a bloody nose, and that player would be called for the foul for daring to get blood on Malone's elbow.

Teams literally have a wide open 3 every other possession. How are the schemes better?He is right. Defensive schemes are a lot better.
