It's no secret #NBAReferees had it in for Allen Iverson #NBARefs met to plan how they were going to retaliate against #AllenIverson because they claimed he threatened #SteveJavie (Who's now a Minister) & should have been suspended instead of a $25,000 fine! "I thought I got fouled on that play, and I said I thought that he was calling the game personal, and he threw me out," Iverson said after getting rejected late in the game. "His fuse is real short anyway, and I should have known that I couldn't say anything anyway. It's been something personal with me and him since I got in the league. This was just the perfect game for him to try and make me look bad. (#Iverson)" #TimDonaghy, the former ref who was sentenced to 15 months in #FederalPrison for a gambling scandal, admitted to it in his first major television interview after completing a sentence. "We felt as a group that he should've been suspended & because he wasn't, we felt like we would teach him a lesson." The next game, the refs began their revenge campaign against A.I. as the #DenverNuggets faced the #Lakers. The superstar guard was even called for a discontinued dribble, which is rarely called in the #NBA. Donaghy said the crew DELIBERATELY LOOKED PAST a few plays where The Answer was obviously fouled. As a result, Iverson, who entered the game averaging 28.3 points per game, put up 16 on 5-17 from the floor, and the Nuggets lost 123-104. In an interview with #CBS, Donaghy even said that a referee supervisor laughed about the treatment of the Nuggets guard during the game with the crew. Donaghy said he officiated "a lot" of the estimated 100-plus #NBAGames that he placed bets on. He had a success rate of 70 to 80 percent, solely based on inside information instead of having to affect the outcome personally. Despite all of it, Donaghy said he never attempted to fix games. But he was the one leading the campaign AGAINST Allen Iverson. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc39gMQPNsU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
