That was the entire point of the game. It's supposed to be a parody basketball game, not a simulation.

Parody - an imitation of the style of a particular genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

Now do you understand? The punching is for comedy reasoning.

It was also a favourite feature in Hockey games, so perhaps it was seen as a popular addition.

This was a notable feature in many of Midway's sports games:

Though it'd be nice to know the development details; like who's idea it was to do a basketbrawl game in the first place. It probably goes without saying, but Arch Rivals is pretty much the predecessor to NBA Jam, Tournament, Hangtime, Showtime, & NBA Jam 2010.

Because it was popular with players.  

You can't just keep asking the same question :)

Actually I read that HG101 article that Jedi Questmaster linked, it explains everything.

Definite worth a read if you can, or can get it translated.
