"I Got a Story to Tell" Steve Francis

[threattonature]

Just starting but that opening is only topped by Pac's Hit Em Up. Just needed to name a legend in it and it'd be competing.

I feel him on growing up in DC the worst thing wasn’t the shooting but the drugs. The shooting became apart of daily day. I’ll never forget the day my math teacher was taking me and some other kids he had to test back home and he was walking us to the apartment building and shots ring and this dude jumps on the ground screaming “get down!! They getting raspy!!”
Like he said these were everyday regular ppl. My teacher was a crackhead. My sisters father was a crackhead. That dude sold my game gear, swag genesis and color tv before I evengot a chance to play it. I opened up a gift for Christmas and it was sega genesis box with nothin in it. I fukk with my ma to this day asking her if she was on drugs cuz every dude shemessed with turned into a crackhead. I don’t even like cookouts for a longtime cuz I got food poisoning from one of her crackhead bf’s

I remember seeing him at hangtime barber shop and just being star struck

Franchise was that nikka his game embodied D.C.

This was a great read. For real wish he expanded it out and went in depth about a lot more stuff. I was hoping he'd address the Cuttino Mobley shyt. If he saw the crackhead rumors online he had to have seen those too.

This is a very Bleacher Report/Yahoo sports take

I suppose making it to the NBA despite having everything against him isn’t quite enough pulling up from his own bootstraps for you

The man said he had a heavy drinking problem, what more do you want?

generic CAC comments for 200 Alex

I’m talking about making excuses for the Canada thing like all he had to say I was being immature

Making it seem like he didn’t know why he was traded from the rockets like he didn’t have locker room drama

Like he didn’t know why he left the league so fast it wasn’t Luther Head and Aaron Brooks fault why he went to China

I’m not talking about how he grew up and all that other shyt

That’s personal stuff between him and god that’s cool he wanted to share it

I’m just speaking on the NBA stuff and the real reasons he bounced around so much

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Francis might have had the GOAT handles in league history

That move on Troy Hudson was fukking crazy

 

[///Vega+++]

that was a good read

 

[ISO]

He’s one of the guys that would have had a dedicated stanbase in this era. Was a really fun player to watch..good article as well.

We have DSJ now

Good read, stepdad coming to the games

Steve has had a rough life after NBA too but it looks like he’s trying to improve himself. Hope he does

 

[bl2k8]

Didn’t expect him to say his stepdad committed suicide sht

 

[Deus]

It was worth the read and I'm glad for the Franchise from where he came from but that dig at the Knicks while true...

You gotta post the photo that goes with the story

I'd post that but I'd probably get negged.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Going through the story and every interaction with Hakeem is hilarious.


“Steve.”

“Yeah, Dream?”

“Your music. What is this noise?”

“Come on, Dream.”

“Turn it off, Steve. I am trying to concentrate on the word of God.”

“Dream. shyt. Alright.”


Did he really call him "Dream" like it was his name?

Between this and Joe Smith being broke, not a good look for former Maryland hoopers
