Is Allen Iverson Getting Blackballed by the NBA?

The Tracy McGrady story is different because a.) He doesn’t have near the resume Iverson and Shaq do and b.) Teams are passing on him because he is very injury prone and that is why he is considered a risk.

Allen Iverson is not injury prone, he is not asking for anything more then the league minimum, and he even said he would play any role the team wanted him to. Yes he is 35 years old but he is a freak of nature and has that gift of being able play along time like many legends in the past. In the right system with the right minutes Iverson can still give a team 23 ppg and 6 apg, he can also help lead a team to the playoffs. If a 36 year old Steve Nash can have one of his best individual seasons and lead a team to the Western Conference Finals, then Iverson can definitely still play in the NBA and still play 35 mpg.

Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Derek Fisher and Ray Allen all guards that are as old or older then Iverson are all still playing meaningful basketball and leading their teams and none of them have near the athletic ability Allen Iverson has or has ever had; So why he is still left unemployed?
