Really? No one else is gonna say it? *sigh* Alright... I guess all NBA point guards that play at the Rucker look the same to you huh?
My name says it all but even I do not think he plays like Francis. He does not have the game Francis had but he is not out of control like him either. James was a lot like Francis except he played some defense.
Man is this board full of Francis haters, or what? I haven't been posting here long, but I've gathered that very few people like Francis. Francis has got a lot of game, he just hasn't grown up as the ideal team player. He really has some mad skills, but he hasn't focused enough on the negatives (like turn-overs, and passing, and better decision-making). So how many of you around here are Francis fans??? Sorry, I know it's off topic, but I have to know?
In previous years I was accused of being an SFO-type fan. I really liked his competitiveness. I think he tried to pick up wherever he thought the team was lacking, to include rebounding, inside scoring whatever. I always thought if he was 6'8" he would have been something like Magic. As for me, I wouldn't give up TMac or Yao, but he is welcome back anytime.
I'm a fan of Stevie's and there are many more. I would expect that since he's no longer wearing red and white, there's little motivation tp defend hime everytime someone takes a cheap shot.
Personally I'm definitely a Francis fan, he comes with his trade-offs sure. He is however always playing all-out, and he never quits, at the very least, people respect him here.
whaaat? james was nothing like francis... james ballhogged more than francis. especially for the lack of skills that james had. if james was anything like francis plus defense he wouldnt be trade bait for every team he plays for. nor would he be in canada right now isntead of some big city getting paid 10 times as much as he is right now.
