These are pretty much all of the details... "Former NBA star Steve Francis was arrested Thursday night at Los Angeles International Airport, officials said. Francis was taken into custody about 10 p.m. by airport police for resisting arrest, officials said. He appeared intoxicated and became boisterous at one of the ticket counters, officials said." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/10/former-nba-star-steve-francis-arrested-at-lax.html
what's sadder is that the clutchfans community doesnt even feelt he need to comment on this....unbelievable for a controversial ex-rocket....truly sad for a former All-Star.
I think that is pretty much what ended his career. However Public Intoxication is not as bad as a DWI...but when I saw the thread title, I knew it was alcohol related.... DD
Its crazy how his career started with a trade from the grizz to the Rockets and ended with a trade from the Rockets to the Grizz. Talk about full circle. Goto China and play for Yao's team! That way basketball can keep you out of barney rouble.....trouble.
The last ex-Rocket ex-NBA All-Star who went to China hoping to get a contract could not land one. He also had a drinking problem.
Where are the TMac Haters now? TMac has not gotten arrested at all since leaving Houston. He is a role model.
So that's what derailed his career? Here I was thinking that injuries were the culprit. Not that I want to make judgments on the dude. I was just thinking about him yesterday, probably seeing how same-draft-class Baron Davis and Elton Brand and Lamar Odom are still getting paid and still have some skills (Brand less so).
