He's speaking truth..Francis played with heart, but he made the dumbest decisions and did a terrible job at utilizing Yao during his first years as a Rocket. That's pure fact
At least Kevin Martin is contributing while Yao and Tmac always DNP most of the time. Back then the TMac and Yao era sucks because only two of them were good and the rest of the team sucks. I wouldn't consider this a Kevin Martin's era because he's not the only one that is playing great. This is more of a team era because everyone contribute big.
Say what you want to say, without Francis I think the Rockets would be in a different city right now. Sure he made bad decisions sometimes but he was an amazing talent. He was the only star the ROckets got after Hakeem era.
he was NOT a star. he was a great athlete who never developed into what he should have been. his mind, his attitude held him back.
Heart doesn't amount to **** in the NBA if you don't win. As a professional athlete only one thing matters at the end of the day; are you a winner or not? It is the same for a fan. I rather the Rockets win then watching people with "heart" or "hustle" grind through the game and hope to win or get someone who can help us win regardless of his "temperament" or "classiness."
