I think there are a number of factors in play, but one is that players have much larger bodies today than the old days and the size of the court has not changed. Also, the fact that these guys are paid humongous amounts of money to play makes some desperate to make an impression and prove their value to their team. They are less mature mentally than the old days, as a whole. Plus, some coaches encourage some dirty play.
