Stopped watching basketball during the Jordan era for this reason. Like in football, there is a penalty/foul/infraction on every play and it’s up to the officials to maintain the flow of the games and keep the players safe. What it turns into is a lovefest with high-profile players. Guys travel so far they need a ticket and bang into other players like they’re moving furniture, throw elbows like Superfly Snuka and it’s overlooked.

I always say that if the NFL officials start to call offensive pass interference, they’re looking for ways to change the outcome.

Indeed. Me, too. I haven't watched b-ball since Jordan was playing.

Speaking of the NFL, I’ve had it with Instant Replay, it destroys the flow of the game when you have to sit around for 10 minutes like just before the end of the half in the Cowboys Redskins game. Just get better officials instead of relying on technology.
