    Franxis interview, he's lost alot of confidence but it seems like he's willing to do what it takes to come back...and plus he used to be a workaholic when it came to fitness and conditioning...lets hope he gets to tht point again

    first of all, if stevie was arrested, i'm sure fran blinbury would have had 2 articles on it before the cops even came to the hotel.

    And secondly, next time you post something like this, include your cousin's address, name and description so that i know who to come looking for if steve is suspended and cant debut next season.

    Thirdly, i have lived in Houston all my life, my parents are Nigerian, so i loved the Dream but like someone earlier on said. Steve Francis is the true reason i consider my self a true rockets fan. Some of the guys who saw moses malone hakeem might think i'm on crack for saying this and some of those witnessing mcgrady doing so little with so much can also say the same. But i wish francis the best

    That was a heartfelt interview. It's going to be tough but hopefully Francis gets the opportunity to show what he's got at some point this season.

    Same to you. No fan should put his hatred to a player ahead of the team.

    Who hates a Houston Rocket player? Certainly not me....I hope they all play well.

    And there is a huge difference between criticism and hatred.

    Agreed, but I really believe Stevie can make a huge impact with the team this season.

    I really think Mr Franchise has finally matured after been benched the entire season, the old Francise would have shot his mouth off after the DNP in the first game but Steve really was a true professional last season, didn't complain just continued to try to get back into shape.

    Steve Francis MIP 08-09!!!!!

    This interview is actually pretty old. I thought it was something recent.

    Ok...but you're gonna need a forklift to raise a Thomas Hamilton. :p

    There are plenty fat fowards and bigs (Big Dog, Sweetney, Rodney Rogers, etc.) but i couldn't think of many fat guards. You?

    he said that the HPD officer that does security for them at night took him away for a while. about 45 min to an hour. stevie then came back and went to his room.

    around 130 - 2 am thursday morning.


    my cousin bleeds rocket red and was pissed when we traded him away for tmac. he wouldnt make such a story up and then call me at 7 am to vent.

    i take issue with your second and third points.

    regarding your second point: i would actually give you the hotel's name, but that could lead to my cousin being fired for violating hotel policy. if my cousins actions - reporting to the police that steve was drunk, speaking belligerently, and not complying with his requests - leads to a suspension, youd track my cousin down? i guess thatd make you the model citizen, and not my cousin.

    regarding your third point: yeah, its nice that you wish him the best. i do too. but i also wish that he'd get his act together and not think he's superior to everyone else, especially foreigners. but whats disturbing is that you didnt even once state that his actions were wrong. rather, you seem upset that id say anything to tarnish steve's impeccable character (sarcasm if you didnt know already). the great irony here is that if youre a product of "foreigners" then you should be disturbed by how he addressed them. but no, stay on his jock and consent to his actions.

    i too was a steve francis fan, but after hearing how he talked to my cousin and the valet drivers, both "foreigners", then i dont know how i can respect the guy.

    Good story man. I always knew francis was scum. He probably hates foreigners because they chose a foreigner (Yao) over him and was the reason he got traded in the first place and his career has gone downhill ever since the trade.

    Umm, if what ur saying is true, isn't it more important that steve was drunk driving and not that he was insulting foreigners?

    I was about to sleep lol. Went to the kitchen for my nightly glass of milk, but realized we had none left. So I went to Kroger to get some more milk and now I'm awake again.
