i grow up with steve, me and his brother jeff are good friends.he will always be the man.

[@666mathew]

Tell him that Vancouver often ranks as the best city in the world to live. Houston doesn't rank top 20 in the U.S.!!!

[@gangtime8705]

anthony hubbard he could have been what Vince was to Toronto and he would be thief guy Yao was much better and grizzlies had millions of number of two picks

[@fredo2x625]

You from maple

[@marcobecookin2597]

My uncle went to high school with Steve I went to his house before

[@FGAlele]

All of These Haters Commenting on this Video can't Deny How Much Heart and Talent He had. No Player is Perfect and He was Dealing with A lot of Personal Strife. He was The Russell Westbrook of The 2000s

[@eddierountreejr3932]

hopefully russ doesn't end up the same way

[@MarlyMarlPodcast]

I think Steve was actually better. He played under control. Shot a higher percentage, and was a formidable floor General.

[@RenegadeGunn]

Steve Francis is underrated

[@KiddGreen1]

Steve Francis basketball skills was on fire back then. I remember watching him on t.v as a kid and I wish he would of stay longer in the NBA. The Franchise 🔥🔥🔥

[@RenegadeGunn]

Yeah I think that meltdown he had at the draft infected his whole NBA career

[@KiddGreen1]

@@RenegadeGunn Hate it say it, but it was the beginning of his downfall.

[@jet07son]

beyond the glory , i used to love this show.

[@msw8966]

These kids don't Know how great Steve Francis was and could have been. He had so much talent!

[@MikeDaProblem]

Still one of my favorite players of my generation watching basketball as kid, Steve Francis had a lot of heart and had to carry that chip on his shoulder, despite his antics and attitiude that brought many haters he was special in his prime, It's also a shame how his career ended and to look at him today It really brings tears to my eyes man. :(

[@TheKdr77]

truth

[@shazzielindsey1981]

what happened to him today?

[@shanonmchenry3806]

I'm from Houston, TX and I must say he was an incredible player. I was a season tickets holder at the age 20 and I love every minute seeing him play but when that coach Jeff came he really fucked up the team. He didn't like Steve and to be honest when Steve was traded the rockets was not the same and the city. Steve did a lot for the city so say what you wanna say about him but don't try to take his shine. HATERS!!!

[@MrOfficialKR]

True Statement rite here! They won't understand stand cause they was never there

[@daniels4227]

You truly are an idiot if you think Van Gundy fucked up that team. Steve Francis was a cancer to that ball club, and I've been a Rocket fan for 30 years. He was self centered selfish ball player, and when Van Gundy got there they made the playoffs in his first season. Fuck Steve Francis. "I built this gym by myself"....man fuck him, Olajuwon, Drextler, Sampson, Horry...THEY built that gym you egotistical little prick.

[@shanonmchenry3806]

Idiot !!! Daniel S I gave my opinion You ass hole Yes the other players you name did build the gym, I never said steve did. I said he was a good player when he was on the team. Steve was very selfish player but I was talking about how good he was. You took what you wanted out what I said. To have something to respond on my post. And if you don't like what I said don't respond too my post. With your rude,disrespect, no class having ass.. You don't respond to anyone post by calling someone an idiot.

[@daniels4227]

You're right...I apologize

[@shanonmchenry3806]

***** I respect you for apologizing all is forgiven

[@drphot6050]

Before the "Lebron Decision" there was this guy in 1999

[@SteveRiceCrownsCapCo]

The franchise , Houston should have never traded him

[@mastermillz8486]

why you guys got tmac out of it

[@jerryokonkwo8449]

Losing your mom is really tough, knowing people that were in that predicament, it takes a giant toll. He may not be the best person, his upbringing was rough. When he was in the league, I used to pray for him for better days to come for him when I younger, and then things went harder for him.🤞he’s better now. The most talented people go through the hardest stuff. For people that have 😈 and have the 🔥 to do 👍 things to make it out of the league, better days are coming, just believe that. ⛈ don’t last ♾, ☀️ will guide you and 🌈 will help you. Keep your head up. You’re going to make it out. Trust me, I believe in you.❤️

[@RenegadeGunn]

I hope we see him return to the NBA again because he's totally the FRANCHISES

[@Kstretch271]

He's to old.

[@curiouslymavismade]

Stevie Franchise! God bless you, brother!

[@e84fresh]

I don’t blame Steve for not wanting to go to the Grizzlies. It made no sense for them to draft him because they had Mike Bibby

[@Theterminato2013]

Ikr, both Steve Francis and Mike Bibby were Pgs who scored the ball well. Maybe Grizzlies were planning to keep Bibby at PG and move Steve Francis to the SG since he’s a high scoring PG.

[@emailjwr]

this video only supported my existing opinion that steve francis, natural talent aside, is a piece of shit

[@mlaws11291]

Man Francis & Van Gundy had some heat

[@LionButNevaLyingg1999]

Underated

[@zee44410]

He wasn't undrafted he was no.2 and he was traded like Kobe he's not undrafted and he was traded from the hornets

[@YoungstaD713]

He was a super good player 3x Superstar, also he can play PG,SG and we had Mobley what could of been but we should of try to keep him but it was a good trade at that time for T-Mac which was 1 of the best in the league at that time or was the best in the league at that time.

[@randyeaster3828]

im shocked how he looks now, kobe older then steve and steve look 50 years old

[@joseaviles0617]

Stevie Franchise is a great player. You guys dont understand willpower and greatness. If i could meet stevie franchise. I would love to tell him you athletically and psychologically special and I would love to be a friend because people like hime dont come but once in a lifetime. from the bottom to the top 40million strong and you guys are broke being critical of greatness.

[@bmon3100]

Absolutely fantastic player. Totally underrated. When you look at the guys hes was playing with, you gotta give this guy his props. Bigtime. Idc what anyone says, that VC dunk co.petition was a lot closer than they act. Act 6'1", 6'2" or whatever, (don't forget these lil guys need to boost their height stats a bit sometimes, know how many times KD's height changed lol)he fukn killed that shit.

[@alanmurphy6373]

As a Canadian I am still offended by his attitude towards Canada. For me he stands for everything wrong with NBA players and Americans who are so near sited and do not realize how great of a country it is

[@alanmurphy6373]

There are other interviews where he just did not want leave America because Canada was so far away. The interview was heavily santized

[@IKKIsama14]

I guess every player has their own reasons to not want to play in a specific place, remember Eric Lindros.

[@alanmurphy6373]

Lindros is was about Money and that was it. He knew in Quebec he would pay more taxes and not get as much revenue by being able to merchendise himself. If Francis went first overall and was considered the nexy Michael Jordon--then I could see the comparison--Lindros is hated by most
