Is Allen Iverson Getting Blackballed by the NBA?

The Numbers:

1983 Career Steals (12th all-time)
5624 Career Assists(4th Actively) 
24,368 Career Points in just 914 games played (17th all-time)
One of only 5 players in NBA History to average at least 30 ppg and 8 apg in a season
Career Average of 2.2 SPG(7th all-time)
Career Average of 6.2 APG
Career Average of 26.7 PPG(6th all-time)

The resume speaks for itself; Allen Iverson has done everything you can possibly do individually in the NBA. He is a bonafide first ballot Hall of Famer. There are only about 4 other active players that have accomplished more or just as much. He will go down as at least one of the 25 greatest players of all-time. So how can somebody with a resume like that, be unemployed right now? How can somebody with a resume like that even be ignored in free agency?

Don’t give me the Shaq has a better a resume and he is also unemployed, the truth is Shaq will get on a team and nobody is preventing Shaq from getting on a team except for him. Shaq was offered a contract by teams this off season but he turned it down because he felt the money wasn’t good enough for him, even though he has made more than any player in the league. Shaq had interest from the Spurs, Hawks and even the Heat but that interest was lost. Currently Shaq has an offer from the Boston Celtics sitting on the table and it is also worth the league minimum, now that Shaq knows that is all he will get, he will eventually sign with the Celtics.
