I hate Harden, so I love this. Incidental contact. Protect yourself at all times.
what? why do you hate harden?
Because I just do. I hate him, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Manu Flopobili, Rashit Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Meta World Piss and a few others I can't think about right now. Basically floppers and people with no talent that are just annoying and like to wreck other peoples' games by just fouling and saying "they're good defenders".

There is probably some truth to that assumption. But I would personally not recommend such an outlook on things. It won't hurt you much to include press, bench-press and chin-ups into your training. And with those three exercises and the minimal time/resource investment that comes with training them (even half-heartedly), you already cover all the bases.
Another thing is, that you often do not know which exercise you will later have to do to get those last inches. You might have a big squat and deadlift already, but you might profit from a bigger powersnatch to help utilizing your strength for explosive events. But if your shoulder strength is not up to par, you might not be able to stabilize big weights over head and practicing the powersnatch becomes much less effective - and therefore your VJ training.
So essentially, training your upper body as well
1) gives you training options you otherwise would not have
2) makes you a better athlete over all (think about throwing, blocking, hitting etc.) and
3) prevents power leaks in explosive events ("core strength").
