    Definatly not just weed alone, has to be something stronger like coke or crack, to go along with the weed perhaps? :confused:

    I don't know man. There is no proof but he looks terrible in those pictures. Goodness gracious. When someone as wealthy as SF goes to China to play at age 40, makes you wonder why. SF may indeed have hit the wall, but it was under the radar.

    He needs some sake', Steve looks tired. Anyway- I think this will be good for him. Drug charges over there, I hear, are crucial.. like 30yrs for a first-case weed possession. I'm not sure about opium, jk. But now he can get all the massages in the world-- with happy endings. I still love the Franchise when all is said and done.

    P,

    This isn't about hating. I hated on his game while he was a player in the league, yes. This has nothing to do with that. This is a concern for him as a person. I hope he gets over the issues he has. I hesitate to put too much info out there, but I will say this: I personally know someone who has first hand knowledge of Francis' addiction problems of the past (and, possibly, present). Believe what you will...

    Regardless, I sincerely hope he gets it right, and soon. From what I hear, he's a good guy.

    34 in February.

    But I am hoping the 40 thing is just a joke.

    What a bunch of over reaction. He doesn't look that bad. If hadn't once been such buff, toned, in shape guy nobody would think anything of it. He looks like a fairly normal guy.

    He's lost weight. That's for sure. It could be that the food there doesn't agree with him. It could be that to lose more weight he's been doing almost all cardio. Maybe he felt his come back was hampered by his chubbiness before. So now he's gone a little extreme.

    I have no idea. Verse is crazy. There was never a rumored drug problem with Stevie. I'm not saying he hasn't used or isn't on drugs now, just that there is no proof of it, and these photos provide none.

    If there was proof would it be a rumor? I did say rumored, correct?

    Good post.

    I know this is just the Internet and has no bearing on reality, but it still sucks to see fans get such a kick out of tearing down a player that they probably actively rooted for less than 10 years ago. Why not just respect the fact that he's still trying to play the game after all these years?

    Perhaps I should have said evidence instead of proof. Thanks for pointing out the error. Sorry for the confusion.

    I remember SF first looked when he was send by Grizzlys to the Rockets and he was really skinny but had some big time hops! I don't think Stevie Franchise is gay!. He is a family man and a great guy. Sometimes it made me think that most people talked to much about homosexuality are really men that are confused. :rolleyes: Are you one those?LOL!

    What rumored drug problems? I heard about the alcohol but never heard anything about drug problems.

    Anyways, check out these pics of him arriving in China. Seems to be getting teary eyed...

    A friend of mine used to deliver "furniture" to his house from a very well known company around here, and he's definitely involved in some shady stuff.

    No way this is weed. Weed is pretty harmless overall, it's a very tame drug. I think it's a mix of alcohol and other hard drugs. Just LOOK at him people. Many of here had posters of this dude back in 2000. No way he's aged THAT much in 10 years. He looks horrible and if you can't see that you're blind...

    Whoahh...Stevie looks rough, to say the least. No way is this just a result of natural aging and getting out of NBA baller shape.

    Whoa, are you kidding or is there truth to that? I've been hearing that for YEARS now. Before the internet.

    I know you are known for making stupid and weird posts, but this one is near the top.

    His face looks deformed...reminds me of this:
