To be fair, he's playing with ice on his ankles.

1: Wow were those Rocket jerseys ugly.

2: Francis looks like he took up drinking heavily.

2: Francis looks like he took up drinking heavily.Don't know if he became a drunk, obviously wouldn't be the first washed up player to do so, but he was complaining about jet lag after one of those crappy games. He really does look insanely tired.

[creepingdeath]

Damn, he looks like a junkie. :(

[Crown&Coke]

When did Stevie Franchise get so skinny? And he looks beat the hell up

[Samurai Swoosh]

Damn, he looks like a junkie. :(
Absolutely ... terrible. Just in 2005 he was still an elite player.

Yeah he does not look well.

And there's something about that ice post that cracked me up.

[B-Low]

Damn my second fav player of all time. Wow that's sad to see...and to think this was him like 4 years ago

http://www.bballone.com/stevef/magic/images/magic9.jpg

Biggest question on my mind though, WHY THE HELL DOES HE HAVE BROOKLYN TATTOOED ON HIS ARM!?! He's from around DC!

[ballup]

The UPS ad on his jersey is pretty annoying.

[krazymofo]

2nd picture looks like a mug shot.

[Vancouver-Grizz]

serves him right for punking out on Vancouver....

[Scoooter]

He looks like he lost a ton of muscle mass. Look at his arms.

[B-Low]

serves him right for punking out on Vancouver....

Please the GRIZZLIES obviously didnt even wanna be in Vancouver people can't be mad at Francis for not wanting to! :oldlol:

[pete's montreux]

Geez, this guy was incredible in his physical prime. No offense B-Low, but this is just embarrassing.

[Jasper]

Does he really need the cash :confusedshrug:

[ukplayer4]

the most athletic and greatest dunking pg in nba history, filthy crossover to, he was such a highlight reel, one of my favorite players to watch, sad to see him like this...

[3stat2]

How can anyone forget the showdown with Carter in 2000

WTF happened to him, such a shame :facepalm

[Faberg]

He's definitely been on some kind of substance. Look at his eyes.

[Arroyo8]

damn he slid so fast..

[ashbelly]

:oldlol: He has the Junkie lip. Sad though..

[Samurai Swoosh]

Franchise totally looks like a junkie.

[knightfall88]

Lebron James is next

[QuebecBaller]

This

[PowerGlove]

Franchiseezy, this is not poppin. I hope he gets in shape and starts dominating or at least play more than 5 minutes, he's not THAT washed up.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Jeez he looks like shit and his stats blow. Really sucks, I hope he can at least improve to dominating the Chinese leagues.

[L.Kizzle]

The dude was probably so high in the tattoo place he just started shouting out places, Brooklyn son!

[L.Kizzle]

This dude didn't even put any lotion on, his elbow is crusty as hell.

And he did it get this bad, when he was with Houston just two years ago when they got him back, he didn't look like this.

Story explaining why he has ice on his ankles

There's former Pacer Bob Netolicky, who once pulled away his sweats at the scorer's table to see a jock strap and little else where basketball shorts were supposed to be.
I lol'd at this part, very loudly.

[kaiteng]

Stevie sure didn't take care of himself well during the time before he got a job in China. He is there playing now just because he was Yao's first star teammate. :(

[JtotheIzzo]

its not a coincidence that all these selfish, me-first little men are having such horrid ends to their careers.

Francis f*cked the Vancouver franchise, and had a lot to do with them moving, because he decided he was too good to be there.:lol

Marbury left Minny because he thought he should be first option and not KG.:lol

Iverson (a faaaaaaaaaaaar superior player to the other two) plays a style that makes it near impossible for his team to win.

Once their quickness goes, it is lights out for their careers. They never learned how to play team ball, so they aren't in any way useful as a role player.

Boom or bust.

[bluechox2]

he looks like someone busted on his face

why the facepalm? what he said is absolutely true. Unless you're another one of those people who believes that theres a conspiracy against these lil ******.

lil what?

How is what he said true? Two of their careers were derailed by injuries and AI's was because of his attitude. They aren't even comparable.

[nbacardDOTnet]

Lebron James is next

sad....

[coin24]

Wow, thats really sad to see..

Used to love watching him play. Still couldnt believe he resigned with houston the 2nd time, knew that was the end of him. Unless there were no other offers because he was getting no playing time.. Unless there was a covered up drug issue, not a far fetched idea by the looks of him now:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

would love to see him someday say "take my talents to europe" some day would be hilarious

[oh the horror]

[InspiredLebowski]

OK seriously, WHAT HAPPENED TO STEVIE FRANCHISE?!

Look at the guy!

[LJJ]

It's a disgrace that a professional athlete can't even keep himself in decent shape if he doesn't have a trainer yelling at him.

It's a disgrace a guy who has earned a hundred million dollars over his career is so broke that he has to do this. Crack is one hell of a drug.
