Yes they did. Every game there were illegal defense calls.

Centers used to game the system by randomly running to the 3 point line unexpectedly and their man wouldn't follow them because they wouldn't expect the center to be all the way out there and didn't realize he darted out there. And the center would point at his man and tell the ref to call illegal defense.

There's a great YouTube video, probably 15 minutes long, with example after example of it. Stuff like back to back clips of MJ and Kobe with the ball in the same spot, and attempting the same move/path to the basket. MJ makes a dude look like a fool(naturally), while Kobe is stopped dead in his tracks because there are 4 defenses between him and the basket.
