Part 2: Is Allen Iverson Getting Blackballed by the NBA

Look at the numbers Iverson had in Detroit and before you say this is when he slowed down look at the mpg, the shots per game, the usage rate and you will realize he sacrificed more then ever and more then any player of his caliber should have to.

Searching for right team

After the season in Detroit, Allen was more motivated then ever and worked very hard over the off season. The only got interest he got was from the Memphis Grizzlies and even they thought he was a 6th man. Iverson did not want to waste a summer of hard work sitting on the bench for a team full of youngsters in a year where he was supposed to prove to everybody that he is still one of the leagues best stars.

When Lou Williams went out with a broken jaw the Sixers needed a replacement and at that point just sell tickets and jerseys so they brought back their legend Allen Iverson. Allen came to Philadelphia after a month off from basketball, in that month off Allen must have gambled, drank and partied excessively. He was free to do whatever he wanted; no longer did he have to follow diet plans or workout because for him basketball was over. He took a month off and it wasn’t just any month off it was an Allen Iverson month off and that is what hurt him.
