Part 2: Is Allen Iverson Getting Blackballed by the NBA

Evidence

In Dave Zirins “Louder than a Bomb” column in SLAM magazine he says sources told him that teams were afraid to sign Allen Iverson because they knew the referees don’t like him and he doesn’t get all the calls, teams did not want to have a player that was going to cost those games because the officials don’t like him. It is a very sad thing and Stern might know about these things.

In disgraced referee Tim Donaghy’s book “Personal Foul” he reveals that officials hated Iverson and did not give him calls to teach him a lesson. Donaghy is now out of prison and very active on the internet, last week I e mailed him asking about Iverson. My question was: “Tim what do you know about the Allen Iverson situation in the league, is Stern and other league officials trying to run him out of the NBA and making sure he doesn’t get good press? Do they have an agenda to ruin his career?”

Donaghy replied the next day: “Yes, Stern has always hated Iverson and is killing him right now he controls the media and this is why Allen Iverson is in the situation he is in”. I was shocked when I read this but apart of me always thought Stern and the media had an agenda to destroy AI.
