From the chronicle; "Though he will match up with the Kidd, Francis corrected the premise of a question that considered Kidd the league's best point guard. Kidd can't be the league's best, Francis said, because he is. "I think I can say I'm the best at my position," Francis said. "(Facing Kidd) is just another game. I think I had some of my best games against Phoenix -- also some of my worst. I split my chin against them and sprained my ankle. But I never look at individual matchups." " ------------------
Well, confidence is good... ------------------ "I have a DREAM.........his name's Hakeem." DREAMer's Rocket Page
This can be a dangerous thing to say, but I would rather Francis be overconfident at the PG position than underconfident. ------------------ She hates testicles, thus limiting the men she can admire to Democratic candidates for president. -- John Greenway, "The American Tradition", on feminist Elizabeth Gould Davis
....and if he did, whats it to you? You tryin' to start somethin'? You lookin for a knuckle sandwich this morning, mister? Steve has a right to voice his opinion so whats it to ya, eh? you better watch it or else you'll have one comin' soon, an right in tha kisser too. ------------------
Francis can say he is a better guard (whatever), but he cannot say he is a better POINT until he creates a team with a POINT. Point guards do not play the wing and run baseline as much as Francis; shooting guards do. I place 40% blame on Rudy; 30% on Francis, 20% on the team, and 8 million% on Mobley because ZRG says Cuttino is stunting Francis's development by scoring.
i keep forgetting theres no deletes...shucks! i don't want any trouble, fromobile. ------------------
yeah...that's what I thought. I had my can opener, and fresh can of you-know-what ready to be cracked. either way, Stevie is crazy. He is not the best at anything in this league. Weirdo. ------------------
How Pippen-ish of Stevie to say that! Better than Kidd?!?!?!.....pleeeease! not YET Steve! ------------------ How Sweet it is!
I think it's kinda funny. BTW, anyone have the stats from last year ? I believe Steve played Jason really well. Maybe that is why he's so confident. btw, Steve is nowhere near Pip personality wise. Pip really did think he's one of the 50 best players ever. ------------------ "There are two players carrying the Rockets right now. Hakeem and Olajuwon." Isiah Thomas
At least Steve hasn't had 14 turnovers in a game. Yet. ------------------ Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.
I miss the days when the only thing my favorite team's leader said was, "Stay humble, stay hungry." ------------------
aelliot recommended Phoenix move Kidd to the 2-guard spot. If I were Phoenix, I'd send him to Vancouver for Stromile Swift. ------------------ "There are two players carrying the Rockets right now. Hakeem and Olajuwon." Isiah Thomas
When I read that comment I was like hell yea!Finally a rockets player other than cuttino who is confident. Whats wrong with being a little cocky?Kobe bryant is the cockiest mofo in the league and he tears it up night in and night out. Also Steve has reason to talk smack. He killed kidd and payton last year, at least on the offensive end. I believe he averaged against them combined 27 points 7 assists and 6 boards a game. ------------------ www.truebballfansite.homestead.com
heypee...that doesnt add up, but if you replaced 8 million with 10 it would. . imho i would rather have stevie be underconfident than to be overonfident.
