I think that having unskilled giants plodding around and dominating just because they are big is the thing that actually goes against how it was intended to be played.
But I also think free throws in general are stupid.
We want to watch nifty athletes run, pass, and shoot. Hacking is a symptom of the rules that get in the way of that, it’s not the disease.
