One, kids should not be reading Stuff magazine. Two, it is a printed interview and therefore we will never know the full context.

Took the words right off of my keybord! I really like Stuff Magazine, they always seem to have creative, interesting, and humorous interviews...

Come on, guys. I agree with whoever said, "They always say, that's why white boys don't understand the blacks."

Until now I thought Stevie grew up in Silver Spring and went to Blair HS. That's nothing like the ghetto. I don't know. But I do know, if he did grow up in a tough neighborhood, I completely understand him. I grew up in a real bad part of DC, and the immense pressure to do drugs, have sex, steal, join gangs, etc. is unbelievable.

When I moved to Katy my senior year in high school I couldn't believe it. Everybody was white, most were FFA hicks, and it seemed like everyone was a goody-goody. Well what I'm sayin is just because Steve is a public figure doesn't mean he can change his past. And it still guides him today. If he still has sex with a million women, talk about steal tactics used as a kid, etc. that's understandable. But some people grow up and don't flow that way. Yea, he may be the laughing-stock of the NBA, but I respect AC Green. He's everything I wish I still was.

im beginning to get irritated at the fact that everyone in these forums is always on steves back, the guy does what he can to help the team, ha where the hell would the rocks be if he just decided to quit basketball in the middle of a season? i think this topic was started to have something to talk about since the season is over, "hey the seasons over, yay its a good time to start stevie bashing". People hes a normal person just like everysingle one of you, everyone has done dumb **** in there lives and wish they wouldnt have.

I took the time to copy this word for word from an article in the May issue of Stuff Magazine so I'm gonna be pissed if this has already been posted here.

Stuff Magazine: Should Utah give the Jazz name back to New Orleans, now that they have a team again?

Francis: I think they should. But what can Utah change their name to? Maybe the Utah Cheaters. They've got a lot of dirty players.

On that note: John Stockton or John Cockton?

Hmmmm...John Cockton. He digs in to you and never gets the call. It's ridiculous. That's why I call them the cheaters.

What's the worst gift a fellow NBAer has ever given you?

I live in Houston, so probably some leather fur gloves. It's 79 degrees. What do I need gloves for? I should've re-given them, but I didn't. I still have them somewhere.

And the best gift?

I got a Roloex when I went back to college. One of my business managers gave it to me. There aren't diamonds in it or anything. It's just a plain watch. I wear it occasionally.

What kind of condom do you recommend?

Magnum. I like the gold packaging. Makes something like that look a little classier. As classy as it can be, I guess.

Pot: Pass the bowl, or that's now how you roll?

That's not how I roll, man.. Don't do it. [Its presence in the NBA is] not as bad as Oakley says it is. And when he said that 60 percent of players smoked pot he was probably high himself.

Which Rockets have slept with the same girls?

I'm sure it happens a lot, but nobody ever talks about it. In situations with groupies you gotta be real careful. You can always just walk away. That's the first option. Or text message a friend and get him to come get your back.

Chamique Holdsclaw: Did you put the W in her WNBA, so to speak?

No, no, no. I mean we did date. But...uh...I'm lucky to have her as a friend now. It's cool. We're still tight.

Ever stolen anything?

Oh, yeah. Man, I grew up in the 'hood. We'd steal all types of things in convenience stores. You know, wear big jackets with lots of pockets and have a couple of your boys distract the clerk.

DO you ever screw around with Yao Ming as far as inaccurate English translations are concerned?

Nah. You know, Yao knows a lot more English than the journalists think he does. he's always got his translator speaking for him, but he's learned a lot. When Rudy is swearing, his translator never translates "f*ck" or "****" or anything like that, but Yao will tell us afterward that he knew exactly what Rudy was saying.

And request a girl might make in the sack that you'd say no to?

"Get out of bed and go make me something to eat."

I highly doubt a 10 year old kid is going to sit down and read Stuff magazine.

I find this article pretty hilarious actually

No, it's not a shock that he stole. What IS a shock is that he would BRAG about it in a magazine, when there are many young, impressionable kids that look up to him. Well, those kids now know it's cool to steal.

I agree. Judging from the interview, it does not seem like he really thinks what he did was wrong.

bragging? Oh man, people just can't have fun anymore while being interviewed for a magazine can they? I really really doubt Steve thinks shoplifting is the right thing to do. Every year throughout the NBA season he would go out to HISD schools and talk to kids about how important their education is and stuff like that. IMHO, I think he's a great guy.

Lynus302 · Apr 19, 2003

oh for the love of....

Listen, Steve wasn't bragging and he wasn't 'not showing remorse.' He was candidly discussing an honest f**k-up as kid who grew up on the streets.

You can discuss things you regret candidly rather easily. Some of you really need to get off your high horse.

Steve isn't perfect....leave him the hell alone about something that happened when he was a kid.

One of our players gets caught with some dope and another admits to seatling candy as a kid. Christ you'd think we turned into the Blazers or something. I'd hate to see how some of you would handle real problems like rape and jail time.
