You're hopeless. They don't get body slammed. They get beat to the spot


and there's contact. Basketball is a full contact sport. Players learn to play with contact as early as 4th grade. Kids who are competitive and tough learn to play through contact because otherwise you're always drifting away from your line and a) it takes you forever to advance the ball up-court, or b) you can't finish at the rim because you lose your angle.

Anyone who played or coached knows this. And it's easy to identify in VT's players.
