What changes? You mean this one?
• Penalties for flagrant fouls increased such that an infraction is penalized by two free throw attempts and possession of the ball out-of-bounds. The offender may also be ejected if there is no apparent effort to play the ball and/or, in the official’s judgment, the contact was of such an excessive nature that an injury could have occurred. Ejected players will be automatically fined $250.
That seriously might be one of the dumbest claims I've ever read on these boards.

MJ didn't get anywhere near the amount of calls that modern day wings got. Guys like Wade and Harden (and even kobe!!!) shot more FT per FGA... some WAY more
