Recently, former NBA player Artest talked about the current basketball style of the league on the "No Limit" program.

The host asked: "Some people say that today's players are better skilled but not tough enough. What do you think?"

He said: "I think the most critical difference between the Jordan era and now is that no physical contact is allowed now. Michael has to face a fierce defensive system, you know what I mean? Kobe also has to deal with some players. The opponent knows that they are not as talented as you, but they will fight you hand-to-hand and really elbow you in the ribs. This kind of confrontation is rarely seen now.
