I just ran into this dude at lifetime fitness. I walked up to him and said you are a legend. He let me take a pic with him. He was absolutely very cool about it!
Thank you, Steve. Your stories and background mirror many of us and loss is something we all deal with and will have to deal with. After the career, chain-snatching, substance abuse, this is by far the best story of Steve Francis giving so much back. All the way from Atlanta, Georgia...you are giving us hope.
I had his black and silver franchise sneakers. This dude was a truly amazing player. Truly gifted regardless of being chased by demons. We all struggle. Glad he rose back up out the ashes.
I was talking crap about this dude at one point. Honestly happy to see he is getting his life together. We never know people’s story. God takes what was meant to be negative into a Positive.
Always liked this guy. I got tired of seeing the videos about how bad he was doing. It's not how many time you fall but how many times you get up. Glad to see him doing better.
One of my favorite players growing up. I was scared for him when he was in a bad place and looked terrible. I'm glad to see he has rebounded and looks healthy. Steve "The Franchise" Francis salute and respect to you, looking great. Continue to stay on the bright path
So great to see athletes talking about this. So many people of all walks of life go through tough times and suffer in silence. No need to anymore. The stigma attached to mental health disorders and addiction is finally fading. Help is out there.
Steve, how are you my friend?! Just wanted to say you look awesome and I’m so happy your doing well and living out your best life forward. I’m so proud of you and think of you often!
You look as if you're progressing brother Steve....God bless you bro.We all have these obstacles placed in front of us at different times in our lives to overcome. But with a firm belief in a higher power. We do persevere. Love and Blessings my brother.
Wow, he looks sooooo much better now. More important, I'm sure he feels even better. Glad to see Steve has overcome his addiction, he was one of my favorite players as a kid. Used to practice his crossover moves (horribly done, I should add) all the time in my driveway.
I remember I use to go over Steve Francis grandmother house in Silver Spring. She was a very strong woman mentally. Steve bought her that beautiful home she loved looking out for the kids and made sure they ate. I think she gave Steve the kick in the stomach he needed to pursue the game once his mom passed
Looking good Brother Steve!!! Came a long way from that dark place. I remember seeing him in my hood, 5th Ward hanging on the block with J. Prince. He didn't look so well..... but J always looked out for him. Long story, short. I'm proud of him. Much love, and respect! #LEGEND🏀💪🏿✊🏿
I'm more proud of him now then I was when he was dunking in the NBA I love a good come back story , I wish u the best Steve you look good bro, and please stay positive you can inspire others to come back like you did

I support this show as i live in houston and i love a black woman doing her thing! Also i love this segment and how this sister is bringing out steve that cleaned himself up putting out that image. Black unity is something i will forever have in my heart.
