When did tripping become such a big deal?

Nobody fusses in the NBA when people trip others and then get called for fouls....

Or maybe i don't get it

Because its dirty and you could really hurt the opposing player? The kid has done it 3 times now. 

And who is out there in the NBA  deliberately tripping people?
