bleacherreport.com/articles/427978-is-allen-iverson-being-black-balled-by-the-nbaNotice now when ESPN or TNT plays national TV games they purposely forget about Iverson when certain records and achievements are brought up, in 2009 when LeBron James won MVP Mike Brown also won Coach of the Year and TNT brought up all the players and coaches that won MVP and Coach Of The Year on the same team in the same year and every name was there except for Allen Iverson and Larry Brown.
In a Clippers-Nuggets game on National TV last season Baron Davis had just recorded his 5000th assist, this was on the day Allen Iverson was waived by the Grizzlies. The commentators for that game repeated the following line at least 5 times in about 2 minutes: "With that assist Baron Davis now becomes the 4th active player in the NBA to have 5000 assists for his career he joins Steve Nash, Jason Kidd and Andre Miller". Allen Iverson's name was not mentioned and he has over 5000 assists.
In TNT's player of the decade list Allen Iverson was not included, despite accomplishing more then LeBron James and Steve Nash have in the past decade. Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Jalen Rose all thought Allen Iverson should have been at number four on that list behind Kobe, Tim Duncan and Shaq but sadly Iverson's name wasn't even mentioned.

Bleacher Report is terrible.
Though Allen Iverson not being recognized as one of the great players of his generation is terrible as well.
Though, at the same time, he did play in one of the weakest periods the league has seen... but still, I guess.

the best was Larry browns response: he's been to less practices than how many times he said the word practice

That article leaves out Iverson demanding to start. " I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed, and I owe my fans more than what they have seen of me the last couple seasons. However, now that my family is healthy and rock solid, I can concentrate fully on doing what I do best." Because he has not demanded to start.
