To generalize, I think alot of it has to do with growing up with a soccer mentality. "Play On" and the type of bumping that goes on with the dribbler was one of the most difficult things to adjust too. However, 'back in the day' the US game was more physical. But internationally, they seemed to try to bump you off the ball but on the other hand there was not much in regards to post defense. Now adays you are seeing more international players 'lock down' into a nice little post battle. There are not many but way more then before.
As I said, it is a different take on the same game and I really enjoy it. One last thing on the soccer reference, I love the way I feel as a spectator wondering what/if the official is going to call something, just like the world cup games. I think it adds a different spice to the games. (Yes, I did watch the World Cup and DID enjoy it)
