We can all assume he was drunk as f*** in those pics, but the question is whether he's got other stuff in his system. it's been well-documented that he loved to snort coke but that was earlier, he supposedly cleaned up but you never know with addicts they might get back in.

It's possible that he is clean now but just drunk. Let's hope that is the case.

H-Town is the lean capital. Add in a little coke and you'll be looking like the franchise in no time.

Yeah... It's at 2:25...

The announcers seem to be pointing out Francis to each other and saying he doesn't look good. One of them thinks it's his dad.

Wow. Good find.

Those announcers could have, at least, thought about the possibility of him being ill, instead of riding him without knowing the situation.

I'm a Drug Court PO. That is drug abuse for sure. My guess, either blow or speed. There are people older than him still playing. He looks like he's 50 years old.

Steeevyy Franchizee has been on and off the good stuff since he retired.. He was ill alright in that video, ill from a 2-day powder withdrawal..

The dude fell off HARD..
Still only 35 yrs old, he should be in his twilight years in the league right now but yet he's looking older than Dr. J..
So much unfulfilled talent..

Damn, good find. You can definitely tell they didn't know they were on air, as the feed just cuts out like 30 seconds later. Seems these pics aren't far from the truth.

Made $103 mil (let's say 65-70 after taxes and agent fees?) in only 9 seasons. Who knows how much from endorsements. Truly sad.

He had chronic migraine issuesand other injuries during his career. He probably got hooked on pain killers, then mary jane which led to the harder stuff.

This is unbelievable.


Yeah, for some reason he was one of the top guys I looked up to when I first started playing basketball. Not Kobe, not MJ, but Steve Francis lol.

He's been rapping lately, too. He's trying to live that life.

Wow. He looks really bad and the scary part is, It was not too long ago they showed him at a Rocket's game and he looked great.

He must have been hitting that meth pretty hard the last 9 months for him to look that bad.

I'm not defending a drug addict, man. I'm simply being an adult & not jumping to conclusions. The dude could have a serious illness for all we know.

I only pointed out that the announcers should have been more professional about it, that's all.
