Thanks for those videos of Francis. Francis used to frustrate the hell out of me with his boneheaded plays but what kept me a fan of his was the sheer joy that he had when he played. There are a lot of players much better than Francis even at his height but few of them seem to have that joy and love of being out there on the court that Francis has.
