Steve Francis - Heard 'Em Say

[561shadow]

the cameras were surrounding him when he was gettin some coffee... 0:47... damn paparazzi

[dundunna05]

Lol at T-Mac smiling during the Sad part

[33RIPChuck33]

This is an awesome vid man. Most tribute vids are a bit boring to me, but it was cool that you told his story a little as well.

[iHypeTV]

Players like him, Marbury, & Baron Davis are always going to have us wondering what could've been if some things have went down differently.

[BillyBadAssENT]

@iHypeTV and sprewell

[xLunieeGoonieex]

perfect song... nice vid of da franchise

[jediwise]

Ha, sweet, the Allegany College footage from 1:12 to 1:26 is from when I was the ground camera under the "left" basket. The low shots are mine. It was such a privilege to watch/shoot this kid playing. He knew where he wanted to go. When the rest of the team was getting busted at a party, he was headed for division 1 and the NBA.

[elayda93]

NAME OF THE SONG PUHLEASSSE!!!!!!

[bryanlakers24]

@elayda93 Heard'em Say by Kanye West

[juannica312593]

from my home town ,good person in general ,but it went to his head ,basketball doesnt own you anything ,you work hard for what you want and never let it get to your head .

[mathyoumiller]

mama there goes that man

[nujrz4lyfe]

One of the most talented plyrs the league has ever seen ,period

[zterpfan54]

Kanye west's best song

[CHARLESPOGSKI]

where is steve now?

[ZekeSlamin]

@CHARLESPOGSKI i'm pretty sure he's playing in China

[CHARLESPOGSKI]

@ZekeSlamin import?

[ZekeSlamin]

@CHARLESPOGSKI yeah. Beijing Ducks.. signed with them in 2010.. i dont know if he's still with them though

[zs12235]

HE BEGAN THE RESUSCITATION OF MARYLAND BASKETBALL

[ghost3dc]

@ 0:18 Thats my old gym!!!!!!!! 3 championships-Blue Devils 4 life!!!! We had crowds even as elementary schoolers!! Brings back memories

[nimit]

d. rose and francis have such similar games. sick.

[T0nyM0ntana251]

@nimit 2 b honest hes better than rondo ppl just didn't like his attitude

[jaysonx82]

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGET JUST HOW TALENTED HE WAS. MENTAL TOUGHNESS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED ATTRIBUTES, THIS DUDE FOUGHT HIS DEMONS FOR AS LONG AS HE COULD BUT THEY PREVAILED IN THE END BUT HE DID A LOT MORE POSITIVE THINGS WITH HIS LIFE THAN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

[illnastic]

One of the greatest dribblers of all time.

[eujean101]

he made nba more exciting to watch. it was like watching streetball when he hit the court

[hittzthagreat]

damn dis dude was a beast he jus dissapeared...smh

[mattmort]

what a shame.. loved watching him play. can't believe he wasted his talent to the point of getting cut from the chinese league..

[rocvandersun]

Have good time and game in Beijing

[tdubbcdman]

i miss watchin this guy play... awesome vid

[raycash456]

where is he now guy had alot of talemt soon as they trade him to Orlando he went down the drain and so did T-mac but there always some of the best

[nkayastha]

Just come home and play with the wizards please, i know we dont need another gurad but there is always room for you

[Pokie1120]

a great video....its like the lyrics and the video match perfectly

[chabowker]

It was great until the fastforwarded highlights of the fights and hard fouls.

[skybrown23]

i miss you steve :(

[babroncos11]

rockets shoulda never traded stevie! fuck!

[ZekeSlamin]

man.... what happened? this guy was crazy good

[DDI0N]

can someone tell me why steve francis stopped playing basketball after the 2007 season???

[JHits23]

Dope! what great Steve Francis video! This video is truly inspiring! coming from hardships to making something out of yourself. There should be more videos like these with great nba players showing their life story. My favorites would be:Micheal Jordan,Shaq,Kobe,Lebron,D Wade,Scottie Pippen,Magic Johnson,Bird, and Charles Barkley etc Peace BomB! :)

[AfricanH3ro]

What happened to this dude?

[mak06]

being from houston; stevie is always gonna be the man! i dont understand how the fans trashed him before he got traded away. saying that he sucks and he's selfish. first of all, he averaged and got paid more than ya'll ever did. horrible 2 face fans... you guys put up how many in what games?! -.-- in 0 games? exactly. just shows you how loyal fans say they are. give the man some credit.

[Sapexec]

@mak06

What does making money have to do with Francis? Its a fact he lost interest in basketball his last three seasons in the league. He had a horrible attitude, fought with coaches, refused to go into games.

[idster7]

this is one of the best videos i've ever watched.

[nelics]

I dont know much about steve francis. But why does he seem so dissapointed in the draft clip, at 1:34

[CHOBG]

@nelics He got drafted by the Vancover Grizzles which is the same team as The Memphis Grizzles. No one wants to play for the Grizzles.

[joshua1813]

@nelics watch steve francis beyond the glory

[DrWillHird]

great video man

[someguyyourenot]

0:32 BOSSSS!!!!!

[d0c16]

fuck van gundy.

[bearbv]

@d0c16 the way van gundy painted francis as the culprit made every other organization in the league not want anything to do with him. it's such a shame cuz this guy had the talent to do some MAJOR damage in the league.

[thizhypy3000]

francis is one of my fav players all-time

[Dreyfus03]

I love steve francis in Houston!!!

this video hit my heart because of the song

i just wish houston wouldve kept him when he came back

[AirBrushWilson]

i don't care if he didn't play long enough he deserves hall of fame

[Domini478]

@AirBrushWilson shit! He haven't done anything to accomplish that!

[AirBrushWilson]

@thizhypy3000 and wade..........

[oHoTSauCeo]

i miss Steve Francis.. i find myself searching for him once a year, hoping hes playing somewhere or that he might join a team. but i think i gotta accept the fact that he aint comin back no more :/ he left the league too soon!!!!

[fsuchino]

@oHoTSauCeo I agree man... I always hoped to see him back to 100%.

[Antikaku99]

seems like a RIP tribute at the end of the vid lmao

[voulgier]

@Antikaku99 It is a RIP tribute. It's a Rest in Peace to Francis's career. Im a huge Steve Francis fan and I hope he joins a team but it isn't going to happen anymore.

[HolidayMell]

He was a great player. I wonder where he is now? Guys like this are just wasted talent. It's just hard for some guys to play well rounded team basketball. Stephon Marbury & Allen Iverson both had the same problem. Great Players that cant make their teammates around them better

[thuglife180]

@HolidayMell announcers and fans build them up so much and it gets to their head and they feel like they dont need anybody else and dont need to get better. just hope this doesnt happen to lebron if it already hasn't

[mtime6]

He deserved better fans, i wish the bulls got him instead of Brand ):

[chucktown56]

fuck the haters the franchise was dat nigga. d rose is the gentle reincarnation

[nelics]

at 0:30 what was the point of the 360? XD

[DownCoolLow]

@nelics It was for the public...

Why do the nba players make a dificult dunk when you can make an easy layup...

Its because you have to burn up the fans and make highlight game...

[nelics]

@DownCoolLow Im just so surprised he could do that as a kid... but thats what made steve francis... all those flashy passes crossovers and dunks...

[whapoosh22]

0:27 is that him gettin blocked or what

[1bdavisfan]

come back steve francis!!!!

[baryt989]

Wow...the man was jumping high back in high school!

[voulgier]

Brought emotion and amazing back to the NBA

[Warmackan]

such a fighter

[thecarter92]

Damn Steve Francis could straight get up....

[cavaleer]

Great, great video!!

[acaciastreetfilms]

bring him back to houston

[JDX28]

I know he was hardheaded and reportedly hard to coach, but I still love Stevie Franchise. He played with a lot of heart, and he always stood up for Yao before the big-man understood how aggressive you have to be in the L to survive.

[drpepperdude100]

wat is the song ?

[secure1]

@drpepperdude100  Heard'em Say - Kanye West

[dragonforcerockhard]

This guy is a sick player. Any Steve Francis fans or just plain NBA fans should check out his documentary, "Steve Francis - Beyond The Glory". Really worth a watch.

[lamja00]

A nice ball player yo!!!

[PJHunterTJ]

He was really good, Houston should've never traded him.

[dannieboii]

amazing stuff yo... whoever did this keep it up

[s33thr3w]

he had a big attitude problem and was very had to work with, as a team and coaches

[tsaiger]

I miss the old team... Francis, Mobley, Yao... and those backdoor tricks.

[kenndiata]

he was my favorite player in nba live 2004

[Time3to3fly9488]

I wish I could play half as good as Steve Franis

[voulgier]

one of the most underrated players ever....had huge talent. Hope he gets signed up with a team again

[XxXUNDERSC0REXxX]

Excellent video,

[sweetsmog]

Ture baller

[detayl03]

The best I mix I've seen yet!

[NightWingz75]

MY MANE...i need to take sum MOVES..lls

[seediman]

1 of my fav players + 1 of my fav songs = GREAT MIX! =D

[DownCoolLow]

Nice mix man, Miss the old days with Steve Francis A.K.A. Franchise...

[Gebrat513]

wow impressive. he was the shiz. like t-mac. but i guess the orlando magic and houston rockets got worse ends. t mac gets injurred and so does steve francis! its funny

[soupkilla9]

one of my favorite players

[DESMADRE91]

anybody know where i can get that 90's rocket jersey with the rocket and the basketball in the middle

[rondotwoKG]

ebay i just got one bro

[clj055]

steve francis mother died when he was young

[charlesHBKWWE]

does any1 know wat really happened to him

[tmizzle89]

he came off of a bad injury n he was never the same after. he didnt hav his explosiveness n his skills werent up 2 par 2 b 1 of the elite PG's in the league. no 1 wants som1 who cant do the things that made them effective in the league, so he retired.

[peinrinnegan124]

he had a knee injury and after that his speed just sank. he still had the handles but no speed to back it up. and i think it effected his vert to

[bballdaniel]

revolutionary player

[chiladin]

Don't worry there's a player that goes to Kentucky by the name of John Wall and he plays just like Francis.He even does that wrap around the back move before he dunks or while he's dribbling just like him.

[sgberols]

and he is going to new jersey!!!!

[Kippah13]

@chiladin  . TELL'EM AGAIN ! JOHN WALL IS THE TRUTH !

Hopefully # 1 Draft pick of the 2010 NBA Draft

* fingers crossed *

[coulston111]

fuk nba playas are so aheltic im 6 foot and cn just Grab da rim theres noway ill dunk it any time soon

[fasho11]

He was such a talent. The trade to Orlando just killed his rise to stardom. The year before they finally made the playoffs and he played really well against the Lakers. Yao was finding his niche, Cut-Mo was playing well. Then, they just trade him to struggling Orlando. He got screwed.

[KingKB24z]

this mix is beautiful

[appau3]

You know the beat players are often those who causes the most problems

[WetWilly9]

lets not go that far...ehm kwame brown...

[xxliljpxx]

they the real players that have emotion

[richkid2311]

the best vids are the ones that tell a story.....

[peng730]

Great video best Steve Franchise clips on the tube (there wont be any better...ever!). Amazing player smashing everyone when he was in the league.

[ccranmog]

Man Steve never lost his game, it was his knee knjuries that didn't allow for him to play even close to his potential later on in his career. It's too bad because he could've stayed good for a while.

[snikes3]

damn i was sad when they trade him 2 magic

[snikes3]

steve is a great player but just lost it when he got traded 2 knicks

he is u the best steve

[kfresh10000]

Stevie Franchise was a beast until he ot on the knicks that messed him up so now he's a free agent i think they should retire number 3 for the rockets

[xxreppinxx614xx]

I cant get enough of this vid, DAMN I MISS HIS ASS!

[dat078912reppa]

stevie franchise

[josephNYY2]

No, he fucked himself up. He can't stay healthy.

My coach had it, and he lost it, i think we know how it feels to lose a step at something, because of that feeling, i think we know if someone lost it... Steve Franchise lost it.

I don't care, he still my favorite of all time!

[jennard4]

dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name will appear

[KC1KC2KC3]

francis nd AI nd wade

[unknownmarvin18]

the grizzles waved him. which mean he's not in the nba right now.

[xxreppinxx614xx]

2:17 - 2:19 i used to love when he would do that move, The Sad Ending to the Careers of guys like Steve N Penny, Realy Make Me want To cry Almost, The Shity Thing is you Know Because the way He works Out there on the hardwood LeBron Will Be the Next Player that injuries Ruin

[fmjm3]

DOPE DOPE DOPE 5 stars dude. thanks for posting. i miss stevey so much.

[lifeprinciples]

dope

[bebop307]

did he retire cause hes not in my nba live 09 roster for the grizzlies anymore. he was for a while then my game updated again and he wasnt there

[smboi92]

free agent

[J2basket]

doubt u were better then franchise my dude.

[Ihatedumbpeople88]

I never said that I was, but if u want me 2 get technical I am. Even as good as I play all around, It doesn't mean anything If I'm not out there playing.

[melsonleon]

i hope steve francis gets better and i see him suit up in a grizzlies uniform soon even though i would rather it be a rockets uniform

[eddiebortz]

i think he retired

[RIGHTWAI]

actually hes temporarily out due to being absent

[smboi92]

he's a free agent

[TARZAN50INCI]

THANX FOR THE MEMORIES STEVEY

[PlaidSoxs]

oh man.. if those people hated like that i would get so much motivotion to prove them wrong everyday if i was in the nba WUDDDDDD UPPPPPPPPPPSDFSDFd

[finalsent]

lol.. yeah too bad they traded francis and mobley and cato away for mcgrady =-(

they fuck up my favorite team to watch back then =-(

they would of been champions already by this time.

oh wells, go Mcgrady?? O_o

[bioniclemaster1]

yeah whose better right now in 09

mcgrady or francis

and mobley is retired

[tmacvy10]

r u kidden me tmac likes money, nah man dont mean to sound mean but he just wants to get out the first round to not become a first round virgin lol but who cares if he went to a white boy school hes still good thats y hes in the nba.

[txjwalker]

the rockets should have never traded francis and mobley for mcgradys bum ass

[htownnigggga]

its easy to say that now tho...i love stevie to death but lets be real...u didnt say that shit back in 05 lol

[txjwalker]

really i did... i never really liked TMAC.

[ZidaneDaMan10]

If he didn't get injured i think Orlando would've been a sick ass team. Dwight,Francis, Turkgolu, and Jameer. Francis could play SG and jameer as PG

[kfresh10000]

you got all of this from beyond the glory

[squadup22]

where else is he gona get it 4rm

[Jimmyfromdownthebloc]

If they are buying him out i would like to see the rockets sign him again.

[GUESS23ISBACK]

my cuzin. he's ok.he isn't injured anymore he's fine!

[magoodiez]

dawg is he relly ure cuzin

[OhyeaVinny]

I miss Steve Francis with the rockets

[CarmeloDaKid]

memphis is buying him out sometime next week, its sad his career went down the drain :( no one even mentions him anymore, oh wait actually kenny smith brought him up yesterday saying how no one fell off the face of the earth quicker than him :( good luck steve maybe next year

[Iwannafly000]

Stevie still got it, if only rick ademlman gave him a chance to play. He's still recovering from season ending surgery. Used to be one of the most dominant guards in the league and very fun to watch, hope he gets better and helps t-mac get out of the first round.

[AnonOFCali]

Francis is with Memphis now...

I doubt he's gonna get playtime there with their roster full of guards.

I just wish Steve had a chance to comeback, because he had so much potential, great team player, and without him, I'm not sure if Yao would still be in the NBA because its cuz of Steve Yao was able to fit in.

[Iwannafly000]

Yeah!

I hope so

[Jimmyfromdownthebloc]

wow...he shouldn't have been traded.

[sungjina]

sad to see steve leave houston again. i just wished adelman gave him a chance to prove that he still has something left in the tank

[Tak3ItEasy]

Stevie still got it, if only rick ademlman gave him a chance to play. He's still recovering from season ending surgery. Used to be one of the most dominant guards in the league and very fun to watch, hope he gets better and helps t-mac get out of the first round.

[FRESHCALLER123]

too late bro ............traded

[nba349356]

hes beyond shit bitch

[airandy41]

Francis sucks. Biggest whiner in the history of nba. Hasn't done much and already his ass is up in the sky.

[OneillSurf7]

you know nothing....

[511christian]

francis= better crossover then iverson better dunks then mcgrady dont think so??? go suck ur fucking fathers dick faggots !

[nnjvhvhhgc]

I agree with you 100%... that crossover (that Iverson is known for)was branded in DC, trust me...

[gogofien]

Yea..let them know. Bubbachuck will tell u himself he got that from watching this kid @ the Kenner League..and asked him if he could show him the move.. True story

[nnjvhvhhgc]

Yea, I heard. I was tryna see if anybody had some clips of Sheik Pearson to throw up on youtube. Slim was a beast in Cardozo. We went to school 2gether, but he was a few years older than me. I was tellin' this dude from Houston about him a minute ago, but didn't have anything to show him about Sheik.

[showtimekrumper08]

man! dis guy can PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimmyfromdownthebloc]

What team does he play for now? still NY?

[dddoughboyyy]

rockets

[mrpolson]

Houston but he is injured

[Uprising3k]

He's suited up tonight and is available on the bench. He's knee is no longer injured. He just needs to get into game shape.
