NBA foul calls have reached historic lows, showing a steady, long-term decline over the past few decades. Despite periods of high scoring, total personal fouls per game have dropped consistently from over 25 in the 1970s-80s to roughly 20 in the 2014-2024 decade

that's what I noticed in last night's Knicks game. very few whistles. the fouls that were called were, at times.........iffy. not obvious hacks, just a glancing nudge here or there.

I'd imagine that this is primarily due to the quantity of 3pt attempts skyrocketing.

That and rule changes plus refs have been encouraged to swallow their whistle moreso than they have in the past and teams play defense differently as well

You can feel however you want about the increased focus on threes in the modern game. But complaining about the amount of fouls when compared to previous eras of the league is kinda funny
