      yeah what he did for Houston was he keep them relevant along with Yao Ming after hakeem left that was a huge transition at the time in the 2000s . it would have been nice if Francis stayed right and when tmac arrived Houston would have had a big three to contend with the tough western conference at the time . you got to understand from a Houstonian perspective we love the t flashy guards like tmac francis and harden but none of this talent materialized in the form of a title. Hakeem will always be the greatest of all time to me for what he did in 94 and 95 .

    It wasn't really a streetball.. he just used his very good skills here and used his brain too in this game.. it was a good match.

    The Rockets were a great team back in the day!!! Reminds me of the good days of competitive basketball. They brought the game!! Having one of the best coaches the Rockets have ever had to this day... Rudy T new how to coach!! The Franchise was know around the league with some skills and had teammates he could count on.

    Steve & AI had Similarities in there game but also just like AI, the Franchise was in a league of his own man. Even tho he had his flaws like we all do he should still get a honorable mention. I rarely 👂 his name come out of any NBA Legends mouths in interviews or whatnot. HELL I would have put him in the NBA 75 Greatest players b4 I put some of them player they had on there TBH....

    What people fail to realize about Steve Francis he had great basketball skills but at that particular time he had one of the highest vertical leaps in the game if not the highest he could jump out the gym.
