Big Country is a bad nickname

[TheFinalPiece]

well he is BIG and He was Born In a COUNTRY ass town. Gans,Ok ..i go to school there lol. they worship his ass

[ktokyo]

I was at that game! The guy beside me threw a tomato on the court and almost hit Charles Barkley. The atmosphere was intense. I seriously thought somebody was gonna run on the court and attack him. haha.

[SKORCHBEATS]

Whos Steve Francis?

[Chocol8Sk8]

He was on the Memphis Grizzlies last year. He is currently a free agent. He used to be way good as you can see but not people don't really remember him as when he was on the Rockets and the Magic.

[fgve1]

Who is Steve Francis ?

[TheFlightBoyz]

song name please?

[Ozzcrzd]

window shopper 50 cent

[jchumber]

steve francis was and is a joke..thats real talk

[htownnigggga]

francis 2 time all star, former franchise player for a playoff Rockets team in 03-04.

one of the most charismatic, flashy personalities of the league at that point.

thats real real talk.

thats real talk..

[jchumber]

haha..francise player from 2003 to 2004...1 year francise player, told u he was a joke..jus like ur comment...

Real talk

BOSS

[htownnigggga]

stevie "franchise. ring a bell?

so we beefin now?

i was just pointing out that he was the team's best player THAT ALSO had Yao Ming.

I remember that "YAO VS SHAQ" game, stevie franchise had 44 to lead all scorers IN THE W.

cover boy NBA LIVE 2002

ya, he fell off, but he'll always be a 2 time all star and will always have a home here in H-town.

NOW lets talk about your sorry ass...you prolly typed in "Steve Francis" in on youtube just to hate on my nigga...

LOL PATHETIC.

[jchumber]

hes still a joke..throwing up blood signs in vancouver..there isnt no bloods in vancouver..he can have H-town cuz no one gives a fuck about him in vancouver..

[htownnigggga]

well i'll give u that...u do know the draft story right?

haha.

well that may the last thing basketball related people ever remember in Vancouver so..

[jchumber]

grizzlies were set to fail at the start..no number 1 draft pick..4 owners, 2 gms in 6 years...and we filled the building 70% to a team who won like 60 games in 6 seasons...right now the owner of the Vancouver Canucks is working on getting a team to vancouver again, pretty sure its the pacers..but ill doubt they move, prolly end up getting the grizz agian..lol

[htownnigggga]

man i pick pacers on 2k9 so.. that would be wierd (Rockets are a cheating team WITH Yao, cant rebound without em).

i dont know about leaving Memphis...a lot of niggas there, and they love their hoops.

maybe Michigan's economy will worsen even more and they will be forced to sell Pistons..to Vancouver!

[illmatic420]

hey if francis stayed in vancouver there would probably be a team there today what a selfish s.o.b thats karma for you he went on to win no championships hahaha

[moonbat42]

whatever happened to steve francis?

[82TheGodOfWar]

He Got traded to the Grizzlies and now is an inactive player. You can check it on the NBA Link on Yahoo I believe. He lost all that weight too then got traded..

[nu407]

What weight, Steve Francis was a lil midget by NBA standard and weight as much as a pregnant chihuahua.

[82TheGodOfWar]

The Weight he put on..Go look at some Rocket photos and you'll see. then look at when he got traded. No matter what you say about him being a midget. He made his mark and Banged on more thatn a few people. MARYLAND STAND UP!!!

[nu407]

@82TheGodOfWar - Maybe he was juicing up on roids and quit. Then i could be wrong...I gotta admit it, he was a fireball on the court, jumping and dunking on everyone. I liked him when he was playing here at home for the Magic.

[dontknomuch]

Is it true that Shawn Bradley and Bryant Reeves are cousins??

[WillOutThaDub]

now hes back wit tha grizzles....... that sucks

[DMC4015]

memphis fans dont give a shit about wat happened in vancouver...

[WillOutThaDub]

I Wasn't Talkin To YOu

[lilpapi2smooth]

god damn boy that dude hammered it down for real son oh my fuckin god francis was da man

[janitormopmop]

Is this when Reeves was fat or b4

[skafaced102]

that had to have been the worst reply I have ever seen in my entire life.

[youBigLoser]

and ur the world's idiotest person alive ever. period.

[skafaced102]

Hahah now I'm sure your serious...(sarcasm) at least there is a little humor

[htownnigggga]

lmao i bet u high five ya lil bro after u put those shitty replies...like "that got em good!"

[WardJu1]

ROTFL!!!!....Wow....????? Was that a word???????

[abdcc]

Wow man i wish i could have ups like that guy Francis. This motivates me to practice my vertical

[12conman12]

Bryant Reeves was a legit NBA center, the grizzlies management simply gave him the kind of money that you should only give to a franchise player. His salary ruined the grizzlies not his play.

[akitaj2000]

Totally agree. Reeves wasn't THAT bad, he wasn't the kind of center that you'd build a team around but he was legit. I still can't believe how much they gave him...

[thndrct218]

The man who single-handedly killed basketball in Vancouver, dunking over arguably the worst 1st round draft pick in NBA history

[TomWatsonB1]

That is probably the dumbest statement I've ever heard! There is NO WAY he is the worst first round draft pick, let alone lottery draft pick! Unbelievable!

[thndrct218]

Thats why I said "arguably" - meaning the floor is open to argument as to who you believe is the worst ever... now that the spotlight is focused upon yourself, tell me who you think was the worst

[TomWatsonB1]

I can think of TONS of players in the first round! However, since Reeves was picked 6th, I'll just mention some top 5 busts......Nikoloz Tskitishvili, drafted 5th by Denver in 2002......Darko Milicic, drafted 2nd by the Pistons in 2003 (Detroit could have had Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, TJ Ford).... Jay Williams, drafted 2nd by Chicage in 2002....How about Marcus Fizer in 2000, drafted 4th by Chicago?......Jonathan Bender, drafted 5th by Indiana in 1999.....

[TomWatsonB1]

Michael Olowokandi hasn't done much either, especially as number 1 pick..... These are just the "bust" players drafted 1-5 between

'98 and '03! Look at the drafts below Reeves in '95.... Who would YOU have taken. It's not like he was the number one or even number five pick! They couldn't get Wallace, Stackhouse, McDyess, Garnett, or even Joe Smith! They had already been drafted! I could go on and on. The point is, that by no means was Reeves the "WORST 1st Round Draft pick" ever!Noteven close!

[d0xit0]

thndrct218, i am by no means a steve francis fan.. but i have to say ur comments are unwarranted not to mention RETARDED.. olowakandi? kwame brown? ring a bell?

[thndrct218]

How are they retarded? OK upon further review, my comment about Bryant Reeves was stupid, but I have to say that my statement about Steve Francis was accurate. The guy was literally CRYING when he was drafted by the Grizzlies ON NATIONAL TELEVISION no less! When you see something like that, what does that say about the franchise in question? It had a big effect, because attendance at Grizzlie games declined after that (look up the numbers), and they were out of Canada two seasons later

[TomWatsonB1]

And to answer your question fully, there are numerous 1st round picks that NEVER PLAYED A SINGLE NBA GAME! International players who never made it here.... How about Olivier SaintJean, drated 11th by the Kings in '97? Never heard of him? Of course not... Maybe Frederic Weis, drafted 15th by the Knicks in

'99?..... WAY WORSE PICK THAN REEVES! End of discussion....

[pimb79]

Olivier Saint Jean converted to Islam and changed his name to Tariq Abdul Wahad that's why you didn't heard of Saint Jean, and his career wasn't as short as Reeve's. He wasn't a superstar off course (The peak of his career was when he was 6th man in Dallas) but he had a honorable time in the NBA even if it was shorten by injury too.

[Fabuloso2324]

Bryant Reeves ate himself out of the NBA. Arguably the worst player to ever play the game.

[TomWatsonB1]

His back got hurt, what are you talking about?

[69navi69]

grizzlies needed to draft better players, raptors got VC and it saved there franchise

[667newdevilgod]

Both these guys fell of the NBA map real HARD !!!!

[ImranQ21]

this guy fell off the nba map

[mojorose]

ok.  so?

[chairswingingfreak]

lmao the grizzlies tried to build their franchise over bryant reeves in 1995. look how that turned out...

[Hrd2FndaNme]

Man, Steve "Franchise" fell off SO HARD!

[anth10]

reeves the fucker ruined the vancouver team

[Cnaflam]

Bryant Reeves didn't ruin the Grizzlies in Vancouver. He averaged 16 points a game his rookie year and the 16 points, 8 rebounds, and a block the year after that. He just had weight and back problems that ended his career. Watch some of his OSU highlights.

[Piotrasdabadman91]

nice beat

[michaelmania01]

steve francis and kobe bryant are the 2 most arrogant players in the nba today, period.

[h4z]

you got a point but kobe is actually good not like steve francis who is just a washed up player now.

[LuckyBangg]

Yea, But you have to admit. He use to be great.

[joshua1813]

@michaelmania01 Hater

[Lope917]

i can jump higher than that bum, and im 5"7, lol.

[livardo]

gee.. Sleep Country only got 12 million a year to get dunked on and be a fat ass. Good riddance!

/former Grizz fan.

[jukeboybob]

I'm no fan of Steve Francis ---when he got drafted by the (then) Vancouver Grizzlies, he looked like somebody had killed his dog...no class whatsoever.

[jelaniv]

Yeah but that game he went crazy on the Grizzlies!

[andyk4986]

@jukeboybob hey, do you know where I find that clip, if any on youtube, of Francis getting drafted by Vancouver? I never saw it but I read Bill Simmons' article on ESPN sometime and he mentioned this. Let me know, thanks!

[jukeboybob]

@andyk4986 Sorry, andy--no idea, but it is burned in my memory forever....

The poor Grizzlies got screwed on every level---First, by the NBA, then by the worst GM in history, Stu Jackson, then by that fat bastard Michael Heisley----I'll never watch another NBA game as long as I live.

[jukeboybob]

@andyk4986 Check out Steve Frances beyond the glory, chapter 1, here on u-tube

[Zayizwizdom]

@jukeboybob you dont know basketball homo man

[jukeboybob]

@Zayizwizdom Go fuck yourself

[QuickSilva12]

what happened to that boy?

[jukeboybob]

Thanks to Vancouver GM Stu Jackson, we got stuck with that stiff.....We coulda had Rasheed Wallace.

Thanks, Stu--you fucking idiot!

[canucks676]

your right man, steve francis is a fucking joke. what a classless guy. but everyone knew he wasnt going to play so stu can go fuck himself

[livardo]

Worst GM in NBA history.. he's now stuck reviewing video for the league. What a joke.

[007nites]

Oh no! Not in the face of the big fella!

[vintagestevefrancis]

Lol, It looked like Reeves barely jumped an inch off the ground.

[007nites]

Ya but being 7 foot 275-290 pounds he aint going to get that far up their
