what a whiny little shit no offense. What did he expect? He could stay and continue sucking on his grandma's tit and everything would be handed to him? come onn
you get drafted, be able to play in the NBA, and be able to lead a franchise ! and what is francis doing ? he is whining that he gets drafted by vancouver... now thats the problem with nowadays atheles... they dont appreachiate their priviliged to play pro sports and they dont accept challanges ! a challange to turn a shitty team into a team which is able to keep up with the good ones or maybe become a good team.
6'3" and 43" vertical.....chit his head be like 9'9" of the ground when he jumps lol...the boy was bad when he was in the league.....i liked him and baron davis those days so similar.
No more feel good stories like this anymore. No more people coming form nothing - except Derrick Williams. I mean Greg Oden and John Wall they were the best sophomores in high school and they be number 1 picks. Its that simple if sbody is good at an early age he be drafted high. Tyreke was the numba one soph in hg he be an all star. When were the last time a guy came from nowwhere to b picked in the top 3?
So, the guy refused to play in Vancouver with the Grizz, but he's okay with playing in China for crumbs? Apparently he's making less than $800k per season in China, which is less than the NBA league minimum.
LOL, I love Steve Francis, I only own one bball jersey and it's his from the Rockets, but this is ridiculous.
This is the NBA draft. NBA. Not college or highschool. This IS like winning the lottery and this guy acts like a child. Regardless or where you play, being drafted to the NBA is the most amazing thing you can do, yet alone being drafted SECOND! That's an amazing accomplishment. Not good enough says he.
I can see where Steve Francis is coming from.... Even though hes a ball player, family always comes first. and after experiencing the things that he experienced I can see he would want his family close.
didn't Eli Manning do the same thing that Francis did? he actually told the Chargers not to draft him because he didn't want to play there. yet no one really bashed him for it.
i remember seeing Francis in a game on tv, and he did some things that made me just in awe. i was like "who is that?!" i started trying to mimic his game.
so wait if you have low marks in school, but ur a really good ball player you have to go junior college first then NCAA then NBA? Cuz for example I live in Canada and have all applied courses so if I wanted to go to the nba i would have to go to a junior college right?
@ironman2432 - there is no reason to go somewhere where you dont want to be. Let me tell you something the world has trained people into thinking that oh we should conform our morals, values and expectations to be ing greatful whatever comes our way.
@ironman2432 No, the way these multi millionaire people make it is by not excepting anything thats handed to them, it doesnt matter how much the glimmer shine it has. You are at your best when you are also happy with where you are and doing what you want.
@ironman2432 If you never demand it or push, then that's how people get stuck in the horrible jobs or careers their in now, oh because it pays great and that's the reason you stay. The quality of life doesn't just have to do with money as most of the world thinks.
@ironman2432 And if you haven't noticed, his life has been a series of ups and downs, where it LOOKS like he won't succeed, but never underestimate the underdog. They ALWAYS come out suprising and on TOP all the time. These are just breaks in life.
@ironman2432 or are you kissing but to keep that job you hate, but pays well? Hmmmm where in the heck are you now? Living with your mama or is your wife working and paying the bills and your sitting at home playin on the internet...
This is a crazy story for him not to be play highschool ball and only play aau for one season and go to the NBA....thats what you call not giving up...regardless of what he is in the nba now that is a serious accomplishment from such a horrible situation plus the death of his mom
@3SCboy well grizzlies sucked their 6 year run in vancouver in my opinion bad management just crushed that team while raptors made to the playoffs. Nobody at the time wanted to play in vnacouver cuz it wasnt new york where you can get much money and it wasnt like LA where team making to the playoffs every year.
he went to college in Texas and didn't want to stay. But once he got to the NBA he was so happy to be traded to a Texas team. That shows you how much he didn't like Vancouver.
Just disrespectful. Any person should be excited even to be selected to any professional team. You don't complain, you suck it up, play hard and take your few million bucks. Fucking cunt.
I would say he is a very talented individual player. However in terms of overall greatness his career has been a major dissapointment. In ten seasons he has made the playoffs ONE time and nearly got swept in the first round. That is just terrible.
