Steve Francis: I got a story to tell

I loved Steve Francis and whilst he praises Yao, it's a shame that Hakeem couldn't instill more of his values on him.

I really hope it works out for him in the future.

Steve Francis in trouble again.

Francis, 41, was arrested around 11:40 PM after police were called for a disturbance between two men at a hotel in Burbank.

Law enforcement sources tell us when cops arrived, Francis was intoxicated. He was arrested for being drunk in public.

Francis was transported to jail … before being given a citation and released around 7 AM Monday morning.

Good link to a great thought provoking read Isaac.

I read this article yesterday morning and was amazed @ his story pre NBA.

To go from being a “phone boy” using the phone box as a hoop to practice whilst @ “work”, to being the #2 pick in NBA draft within 4 years with only a season of Community College and a season of College ‘ball @ Maryland, I personally found to be amazing.

Whilst it’s a pity that he flamed out so hard and so soon, it’s good he recognises that he was a “punk” and didn’t listen to advice back then. Hopefully the man only goes up in life from here.
He shook off being a product of his upbringing and surroundings before, and made the NBA, who knows what he could do in the future.

I mean shit, just the fact that Marion Barry now has a statue erected of him, shows that DC obviously forgives mistakes and loves their own.
