I guarantee these guys won't clear the middle for LJ, or any current player, so they can get an uncontested shot/dunk. There will be some serious, hard contact that would just be called a foul. That was good old DEFENSE. Not these technical, flagrant 1or 2 BS calls that you see now. Even with the size and strength of LJ, he would seriously reconsider going to the basket. You were allowed to hand check a player, making it difficult for a player to drive to the basket. If you got by your defender, you knew what was waiting for you under the basket, it was no charging call. A guaranteed hard foul.

What the hell are you talking about? Who the hell moves out of the way when Lebron drives to the basket? There is absolutely no one that walks away and not contest Lebron's shot. Unless it is a small guard or a fast break. That is a completely different scenario. If everyone walks away from Lebron when he drives to the basket then he wouldn't be shooting 500 free throws a year. Most defenders know Lebron is unstoppable once he gets deep into the paint so many defender fouls him to make him get his points from the free throw line.
The NBA implemented these technical, flagrant foul 1 & 2 is not because the NBA is soft. It is used to protect the players. Do you know how many players got injured when they got pushed in midair dunking the ball back in the day or when they got fouled extremely hard and excessive? In this time and age, there is no reason to have hard and excessive foul.
