Just look at when a player bodies their way into the paint and the defensive player pushes back. If you hit the ball first on a defensive play, there is often a LOT of contact after that ball hit. Defensively if you have your arms straight up, you can put a lot of contact on an advancing offensive player. Basketball is a very physical game.

That said, the swivel hip drop is very similar in what it does to the body as the horse collar. Lets save these guys knees.
