Boxing, MMA, sumo wrestling, lots of sports have physical contact. From the beginning it was in hockey. Not the same for basketball. If hockey was invented today I can guarantee it wouldn't have it now but it wasn't. It was part of the rules from the beginning and the people who play and watch it don't want it gone. To be honest I can't stand to sit and watch an entire basketball game, too slow and boring for me.
Hell, the NBA used to have physical contact before it got boring.
It definitely doesn't look like the same game I grew up watching. That's for sure.
