    I miss Calvin Murphy.
    I also miss the younger Stevie.

    Even with the way Francis is now, that trade was a great trade.

    Those are some good memories of a rookie Steve Francis, if anyone is interested in VHS videos of the Rockets games during his rookie year, please send me a message, I have great footage and of the NBA during the 99-01 years. I been wanting to get rid of but give it to someone who can make us good videos with it.

    Francis is probably my favorite Rocket...other than Olajawun
    Can't wait till he comes back this year....you put him with T Mac, Artest, and Yao...and the Rockets will be unstoppable !!!

    Hey Cocainecowboy...

    You have been assessed a $10 fine for misspelling the Olajuwon's last name. Click here to pay!

    You are asking him to reverse his lifetime assist-turnover ratio. :(

    so its a 5 star thread now.

    Clutch if anyone gives this less than 5 stars, rookify them immediately!

    show them how powerful you are! let those Rod Stricklands think they can get a layup on you!

    hahahahaha

    ^^^ I'd be very wary of hijacking a Clutch thread with this 99er stuff.
