Steve Francis is in great company. He is one of only four players EVER to have career average of: 20pts. 6rebs. 6 assists The other 3 include Larry Bird Oscar Robertson Grant Hill WOW... kinda puts things into perspective.
I was wondering why there hasnt been more talk about Steves play against the Clips on Sunday ,,over 30 pts...missed a quadruple double by 2 steals and 4 rebounds..........sensational.!! And we take it for granted.
because we lost. personal accomplishment is always secondary. Yao didn't get too excited about his breakthrough game against the Mavs for the same reason.
Steve put up: 31pts, 6 reb, 10 asst, and 8 steals, while putting the Rockets in the position to win. To ignore this, proves the point, Steves performance is taken for granted......
Steve is 3 years away from where he should be. We have a long way to go... Yao, will help Steve make that learning process better.
I believe those are career figures aries323 is talking about. There must be lots of players who've averaged that over a season. What are Grant Hill's career figures? He must be close.
How come Magic isnt on that list? Shouldn't he be? Francis will average 25, 7, 6 at the end of his career. But the difference between him and Grant Hill will be that he'll have a ring.
Francis is a superstar, he is going to get better and better as he and Ming get used to each other. DaDakota
I agree with you on this point . However, why does a post about another players accomplishments or shortcomings have to somehow be turned into an attempt to show Yao's supposed brilliance.
I'am referring to career averages. NOt season averages. He's one of only 4 to average 20. 6. 6. in their career... Steve's number's are only going up.
Great post!! You are one of the enlightened ones. I hope Dr. Donk get 10% of your intelligence and temperament.
Jordan's career average is 30.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 5.3 apg. 0.7 apg from being among the "great company." Who says he is the greatest ever?
Grant Hill is doing it right now: 21.3ppg, 7.8rpg, 6.2apg And dang Magic was close too: 19.5ppg, 7.2rpg, 11.2apg
I find this post funny coming from a guy who has this as his as his signature: A future ROCKET BOXSCORE!!! Francis - 21pts, 10ast Mobley - 28pts, 2stl Griffin -- 15pts, 12rbs, 3bks Yao --- 14pts, 18rbs, 5bks, 5ast Nachbar - 10pts, 7rbs Not only did Steve beat your hopes & dreams by 10 points, he added 6 rebounds and 8 steals to boot!
Grant Hill... right now in his career... doesn't even come close to what Franchise is going to do. Franchise will have Oscar Robertson numbers if his stats keep increasing like the way it has in the last few years.
