    Say what you will about him, but he built the Toyota Center

    I like Steve. I sure hope he doesn't really believe this.

    I hope you guys remember Kobe bullied Steve on a few occasions.

    I can´t find a video about it, but I can't forget one that Kobe guarded Francis with a smile on his face, mocking him. I hope the older guys remember it as well.

    Things that make me happy about this:

    1) Steve still loves Cat enough to bring him up unprompted
    2) Steve still refers to the Rockets as "we".

    He slowed the game down with his dribbles so much they could build it in peace.

    Steve never got a great coach to mold him into a great player which he had the skills for. I remember chuck eluding to this when Francis was frustrated about catching dnp-cd. He said Rudy wasn’t that type of coach and neither was jvg. Chuck wasn’t the type to bring a young pup into a league either. He needed somebody who could help develop him because Francis only had himself and Cat to depend on for success.

    I always loved the guy. Look up nova and there is, or should be, a pic of Stevie Franchise.

    I only remember the migraines.

    Francis, Yao, T-Mac — all mental midgets that came after the greatness of Hakeem.

    Still got as far in the playoffs as TMac ever did . . .
    With a younger Yao and against a team with 4 Hall of Famers

    As a kid I was a biggg fan.

    He was very talented.

    But looking back, he lacked discipline.... he could have been in the league longer.
