    His entire career?
    @Zboy
    @Clutch
    @Reeko

    you mean Steve and cuttino ?
    You mean when Steve was with the Knicks ?

    What about when he came back and rick adelman had no faith in him

    and tell me
    How many years did Rudy T coach Steve?
    How many years did he coach Yao?

    Steve francis got buckets from day 1 in the league? Francis was a lottery draft pick with high expectations from day 1.

    Francis was rookie of the year mang! Can't really say Francis a bust after the knee-ga got rookie of the year!

    Didn’t we trade Steve for Tmac cause
    Steve dribbled out a 24 second violation in the playoffs ?

    Is that the game that Harden coughed up the ball trying to attempt a game winner back in 2015?

    I can't remember because Harden messed up some many freaking times that I lost count!?

    Steve Francis vs Harden is a joke

    Harden was always a smarter player

    I love Steve for what his energy brought but he sucked after the Rudy T years

    he sucked so back he was demoted by the Knicks

    Rockets drafted francis with a lottery pick. I say he was drafted with a lottery pick because the organization was at its lowest point at the time that Francis was drafted which is why the team took francis with the lottery pick.


    Class act while with the Rockets, respected throughout the league.

    Steve didn't want to play with others unless your name was Mobley

    McHale did not allow Harden to do whatever because remember it was McHale who benched Harden in game 6 against the clippers in 2015.

    McHale benched harden in that comeback game 6 which allowed his best play makers to make plays.

    Then you fast forward to game 2 of the wcf in 2015. Harden choked in the final seconds of that game 2 wcf against the warriors.

    McHale should have bench Harden altogether for the remainder of the playoffs in 2015 in my opinion!

    I paid to watch Steve Francis play in a place called compaq center

    if you never attended

    then your credibility is shot

    Francis got rookie of the year, and the rockets drafted Francis over any other rookie prospect in the United States and world wide.

    You can bring up toyota center and other un-successful organizations. You can even bring up Enron and Dynegy and the failed United States economy.

    Rockets took francis over any other player in the world which says alot!

    lulz, not sure if serious.

    Vancouver drafted Francis, and he wasn’t the top pick.
    He was traded to the Rockets 2 months later

    Rockets had 4th best record in West. It was the year of Pippen.
    They had 22nd Pick and took Kenny Thomas.

    I guess you’re trolling, ‘eh.

    Steve Francis was in a good draft in 1999. manu ginobilli, richard hamilton, andrei kirilenko, shane battier
