Allen Iverson isn’t a big fan of Tim Donaghy, the ref accused of betting on his own games. Now, he is trying to debunk this via Netflix!

The 2006-2007 season was a huge fiasco for the NBA. This was primarily due to the illegal gambling of one, Tim Donaghy.

Donaghy was a former NBA referee who was accused and later found guilty of betting on NBA games he officiated. However that wasn’t all he was doing.

In fact, Donaghy stated in Netflix’s Untold series, that he was actively conspiring against Allen Iverson with a group of referees. They decided to call a ton of ‘travels’ on AI and even looked the other way when he was getting fouled, all because they wanted to teach him a lesson!
