That's because the super stars normally play positions in which they drive the ball a bit more then the no names. More drives means more calls.
There's this retarded band wagon of baskteball haters out there. I used to be one too and I used to throw out the same cliche arguments as to why basketball sucks. It wasn't until I sat down with a group of friends that actually enjoyed the game and bam, it became more interesting and actually a fun sport to watch.
I disagree, OP. I think over the years the attitude of the game has morphed and needs to change back to earning points by making baskets instead of earning points for drawing fouls for foul shots. The goal isn't just to drive down the lane and get two points, the goal is now to get two points and a foul.
There used to be higher scoring games because defense didn't used to be as bad as it was. Players are more physical now defensively and it hurts the montra of the game. But people got taller, and instead of field goals and 3 pointers, dunking and layups were what guaranteed points.
Rather than allow more physicality, I think they can alleviate the fouls by raising the net. This gives them less of a chance to drive to dunk, which gives them less of a need to force the ball into the hole while drawing fouls at the same tme. They'll step back more, shoot more, rely on accuracy more, field goal more... foul less.
