    <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3325">espn.com says 23</a>

    <a href="http://www.clutchcity.net/playerinfo_current.cfm?PlayerID=190">cc.net says he's 23</a>

    and ....

    <a href="http://cgi.cnnsi.com/basketball/nba/1999/draft/draftboard/players/4.html">cnn/si says 3 years old...LOL</a>

    I guess the league office site and the Rockets site is wrong. lol! And they have been throwing off many other sites. Who knows what's up with CNN/SI?

    I'm going with cc.net.

    And what's with the 41 happiness rating? I think he seems happier than that. [​IMG]

    Oh no...

    now the <a href="http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/552664.asp">Associate Press writes an article saying 24 yrs old</a>

    damn, now I'm really confused. I was kidding at first, now this is getting serious.

    Obviously all these writers get their information from Fran Blinberry. I swear this guy is sorting out some conspiracy against Steve Francis.

    He turned 24 on the night we broke a 6-game losing streak vs. the T-Wolves. It was the game where Calvin was out and the Rocket-beater Jim Peterson filled in for him. So, of course, he's 24.

    finalsbound,

    Check my links.

    espn/cc.net have him at 2/21/78 = 23
    nba.com has him at 2/21/77 = 24

    Patricia Bender's site has him at 1978, too.

    Dead serious. I remember Horseteeth Malosky very clearly excliaming, "It's your birthday, Steve!" and him going "Yeah. It was nice to beat Minnesota on my 24th even though I had a bad game." And Bill said something like, "I can't remember back when I was 24!" The dude's 24. It even said on the screen under him, HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY, STEVE! So I really think he's 24.

    so it is official? nba.com is right and espn.com is wrong?

    maybe we should just have a poll on the frontpage.

    I know for a fact that he is 23, I have 5 basketball cards of him, and they all say that he was born on 2/21/78.
