Steve Francis always looked ****ed up to me. His eyes always so red, bug eyes, but everyone knows he's had problems in the past with alcohol. Franchise we love you, you crazy b*stard!
If you thought he needed help, why didn't you speak up? I know it's not a fun convo to have, but man up and say something to him. Let him know you care and let him know that you think he needs help. Here's a quote for you: "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men."
Rudy and Cuttino should get together and go get him in rehab and help him come clean. Guys that played together for so long, claimed to be brothers and the coach that loved them. Makes you wonder really how much they really cared for each other.
Stevie is a cokehead Trust me..its true I don't know if he is basing but he is definately a cokehead. Stay tuned.....
It's pretty sad, he looked horrible when he played in China last year, probably only did it to get more drug money
Always liked Stevie. Despite some bonehead plays, Stevie always played with courage, always having his teamates's back (ask Yao Ming v. Stoudemire). If he has substance abuse problems, he needs to check in a rehab, before too late.
Ever since he got ridiculously skinny I have been worried. There were hints in New York, and even more in his last stint in Houston. He is spiraling out of control. Cuttino and Yao need to step up to the plate and get him help, before it gets really, really bad.
Clyde has always look the same after his playing career, but I think Francis, a few more years, he will be unrecognizable. http://twitter.com/stevefranchise3
So, you would go up to a seemingly intoxicated person that you don't personally know who has walked into a Subway and is being loud and profane and tell him he needs help? What could possibly go wrong?
That article mentioned he was in a rehab last month, but apparently it didn't help! Back he should go. Every relapse is worse than before and the progressiveness of addiction will lead to death. Easily.
