Man the good old days.
Steve Francis was once my favorite player. Too shame his career was destroyed by injury and drugs.
Same brother
I don’t know about drugs but he definitely admits to alcohol.
just alcohol not drugs, stevie specifically said that it breaks his heart that people tend to think drugs was the thing that broke his career.
Actually it was just injuries. He didn't start drinking hard until after the injuries.
Prime Franchise would even be better in today's point guard friendly rules. He had great handles and decent range.
And jumped outta the building he would've been prime Rose or Jah
These 2 players were my favorite players in the league. N its funny they were both on the magic and rockets at 1 point in their careers. Obviously traded but could you imagine if they played on the same together!! Man that would of been some crazy stuff!!
And they will get a rings or many Championships on Orlando Magic Franchise History
They actually did play on the same team when rockets had coach Adelman we had tmac Ron artest yao Lowry bonzi wells and Bobby Jackson but think Steve couldn't find a spot on rotation so he played garbage mins

@@QankoIvanov Tmac and lebron and kyrie ... damn.
Healthy T-Mac was UNSTOPPABLE but Smooth. Never seen a more smoother scorer ever since .
His work ethic wasn't there🤦🏿♂️ man I had his Jersey
@@shantarobinson7595 lol you believe that shit? the man can't be the league 2x scoring leader without work ethic.. not everyone has Kobe or MJ work ethic dude..
Steve Francis is a bigger what if than Mcgrady. Steve was a beast that time forgot
Super dope content
Stevie franchise had the whole package
4:23 Lol what's this Superstar, All-star BS that Steve Kert was blabbing about.. T-Mac was dealing with constant injuries and had no help in Orlando.. but when healthy he was SICKER than 98% of the superstars that guy could ever name..
Francis will always be more loved in Houston more than Tmac!
0:58 haven't seen this kind of pure move ever since T-Mac
I've never seen a more smoother player ever.
It was a travel; the ball didn't hit the rim initially.
@@AzimJivani Still a great move.
He just floats to the rim.
Steve Francis
TMac
Yao Ming
Grant Hill
Damn you injuries!!!
Two of the basketball legends ie Steve Francis and Tracy Lamar McGrady by Steve Irungu Jermaine
It's crazy that with both players....as soon as the trade happened, Steve just fell out of love for the game it seems and just got bad...like terrible. He loved Houston, I think it was something about leaving Houston that messed him up as a player.
For McGrady, as soon as he got trade to Houston, he was injury prone right off the bat. Couldn't stay on the court to save him or his teams life. His back problems were the ice pick in his back, no pun intended, that never let him be great...a true great with rings. The fact that he never got passed the 1st round of the playoffs being as great as he was....just wow
Both players just had tremendously bad luck after they were traded for each other.
T-Mac was wack af on the Rockets. He had such a good team surrounding him but he continuously was sorry. That's why he got dunked on by Francis at the end. No great player would let another man dunk on him even if the game is already won. That was the stupidest trade ever.
Wow that’s wild I forgot mutumbo and Yao played together that’s a helluva duo if both prime
Tumbo wasn't in his prime since he played for hawks bro, but he had flashes of what he used to be 😘
😂😂😂😂 Kerr speaking facts
0:58 a healthy tmac with a bball handling fuck!
Turkey Glu. The point foward on that 2009 Magic finals team.
5:00 mark sums up tmac career
I'm mad t_mac,g.hill,or steve franchise didn't get a ring🤨🤨🤨
if tmac would've just waited for dwight to be drafted , he couldve had championship
Warriors coach Steve Kerr. 9 years before stephie!
I know McDonald’s loved these years
Kelvin Cato!!!
4:33 Steve Kerr had the nerve to call T-Mac an allstar instead of a superstar? Did he forget that Kobe had Shaq during the early 2000s. And when Shaq left to go to the Heat Kobe was contemplating on leaving the Lakers for Boston. Even Kobes and Shaq last season together they had Karl Malone, Gary Payton and Derek Fisher. Magic literally had nobody besides Grant Hill and he was injured most of the time. T-Mac could do nothing with that team.
In all fairness I reallyyyy don’t think it’s fair to say Malone and Payton without clearly saying it was also at the very end of both of there careers and where not ANYWHERE close to there primes just saying just saying lolzzz 🤷♂️
Steve Kerr Hate on Tmac and VC, HOF both 😒
Steve Kerr really said Tmac wasn’t a superstar 😂
Rod Strickland WTFFF??
Too bad Francis' ego got the best of him and also injuries and some off court issues
He was a nasty drunker
Steve Kerr…shut it
Houston should have never traded for the broken down marquee name. Tmac was already down. Houstons window would have been better with Mobley,Francis and Yao.
From Houston: I totally agree being a diehard Rockets fan. T-Mac and Van Cundy were cancer.. T-Mac was lazy and Van Gundy was miserable, unhappy, old man compared to fun Rudy T and Steve. Rudy T was always happy and Steve was energetic...
@@df4480 t-Mac lazy 😆you sound crazy t- mac was a beast in Houston just injuries stop his greatness....at one time kobe Iverson and t mac was the best players in the NBA
where's Dwight?
David Wesley was horrible
Didn't know Francis had any highlights with Orlando lol
What bro you’re really sleep do your research
@@rece5232 he was out the league in 5 years after that trade. Never played more than 46 games after his first season in Orlando.
@@genericallyaccepted Yea but his first season when he was healthy he was averaging 21 and 7 and has plenty highlights in a magic jersey im js he was balling that first season
@@rece5232 i lived in Orlando to watch the whole thing go down from the trade to seeing the magic play fun Magical basketball 🏀 then 50 games or so later the magic was gone 🤧
Steve Kerr is right tmac and Vince Carter were all-stars not superstars
Damn I haven't seen a Steve Francis video in a hot minute 🔥🔥👌
If only these two never had injury problems man.
Steve is underrated asf
Nah he isn't just wasn't good enough to get talked about
Imagine if Steve can keep his body
*overrated
XChronicHash L
Nah he just fcked up and let himself go. He was Nasty AF
Steve Kerr is speaking out of his ass. How does he fail to mention the fact that those "Superstars" all had STACKED rosters??
Kiss the rings.
They didn’t always have stacked rosters and still fought against every game no matter how bad the team was. Tmac was my favorite player growing up and I watched every game he was in………but when he took the court against dudes like Kobe Or d-wade there was a clear difference in intensity and willpower even though talent wise tmac was just as good if not better.
Actually thought it would be highlights of Francis on Rockets and Mcgrady on Magic.
So you didn't see that big as thumbnail
PLEASE POST MORE THROWBACK STEVE FANCIS HIGHLIGHTS
steve kerr was on tmacs ass lmao
Damn they had Dwight Howard grant hill And Francis. What could've been 🤦🏿♂️
This battle is UNDERRATED! I think this is one of the most equal trades. Both teams got a W Mac & franchize both cold AF. Mac was my favorite player growing up. Wish Stevie didnt go into depression and start abusing drugs. Smh.
damn steve francis was a beast in his prime
Really cool to watch this stuff, thanks for posting
It's cool to see so many here showing Stevie Franchise some love. He declined way too soon and was definitely one of the most exciting players at the time. The combination of his vertical and handles were crazy. I grew up with A.I., Kobe and MJ but I remember liking Stevie a lot and even began liking Reebok again because of him. His signatures weren't bad at the time.
Prime T-Mac. Nothing more to say. Injuries are a bitch😡
Bruh franchise walk away over a bogus contract.
T-mac self diagnosed his injury, got the wrong surgery.. then he decline and chase bags... terrible thing to do
He was like Kyrie irving with ups
Come on now Kerr let’s keep it real he just broke down what he meant he didn’t sell games the way Kerr keep implying all he did was say what every superstar is thinking then they have a below .500 team you literally pull up highlights of superstars quitting on their team mid game 😭 T-Mac was a dog a killer injuries just kilt his potential
Javone Goodman thing also with tmac is. If you watch those games in 04 nobody on his team could play defense it was fucking horrendus. He has a game where he drops 51 on the nuggets, on like 60% shooting hitting 5 threes in the last 3 min of the game. And losing. Because they cant play defencd
Kerr doesn't understand what it's like to be a superstar and nobody else on the squad can do anything to help on offence or defence. He doesn't understand the mental frustration Mcgrady spoke about and was never in the situation..so I'm not sure how he could judge so harshly.
Mcgrady was a superstar, not just an all-star. To say otherwise is rediculous.
Talking about Kobe would never quit, Kobe played with Shaq and never had to suffer like Mcgrady did. And when he did get a bum squad..he did exactly like Mcgrady did, ask for a trade.
Javone Goodman Also what's hilarious about this is that he completely ignored the fact that the Magic front office traded away everyone that was good on his team after the previous playoff year. Look at the youth they had along with their production and you'll see they were traded the very next season. That's on top of Doc Rivers having no gameplan whatsoever other than ride Tmac.
Notice its only the real fans that know exactly what happened. T-Macs team in 04 was about as worst as it gets. Just watch their games. I havent seen anyone carry that badly.
@@klevdud ey watch it... don't leave out ty lue
Francis first year in Orlando was so underrated.
Tmac was a super star Kerr mad cause he never could be one🤷🏾♂️
No he wasn't
STEVE FRANCIS WAS LIGHTING QUICK!!!
Steve Francis handles was crazy he brought streetball back to the league
The announcer was 100% correct about all stars and superstars
Wow im from Houston and i dont remember the legend rod strickland playing for the rockets
Shout out to Rod Strickland @ 2:13. Kyries godfather
Gentleman. LOWS yep
I’ve been looking for this for years 😂😂😂😂
Damn I miss Stevie Franchise, one of the more exciting players to watch.
squadup22 now hes a drug addict
More ? I see people using one of the more?? Are you guys fucking braindeads or is it relevant
Atilla Cinar I’m not and it’s not, it’s a utube comment section, don’t take urself to serious.
Its crazy how players in that era really looked for that open mid range shot. Nowadays u really dont see that, every wants the open three ball now
Because it’s more efficient it makes a lot of sense actually lolz
Need more tmac highlights
I was at that game. That was my first magic game ever
Steve Kerr came at T-Mac’s manhood 💀
Jason Murray fax
I see where donkey got his signature move
C B winning rings? Yeah he got that from Kerr
He was speaking facts
Truth be told!!! It is what it shall be!!!
The franchise !!
BADASS DUEL. I just want to see a Tim Duncan vs Kobe Bryant duel, I would love to see some Lakers vs Spurs up in this.
Classic matchup between T-Mac and Stevie Franchise....had injuries not slowed T Mac and Stevie Franchise down, they’d be on the top list of NBA greats....also this was a month before Cuttino Mobley was traded to Sacramento and after Cuttino Mobley traded, Steve Francis career was never the same....
My boy franchise!
T-Mac is underrated to this day this guy was really nice out there....
Love these two
Top fun to watch player of all time steve... he had the hoops and one of the best crossover of all time
Damn steve was a problem!
T-Mac the Man!
Can you post francis vs lebron on lebrons rookie year????
4:43 that's gotta be one of the dumbest remarks I've ever heard. Did he said that McGrady wasn't a superstar in 2004?! It's funny that he mentioned Kobe with all those name when in fact he couldn't lead a team with Butler and Odom on his side to the playoffs...and a year later, he gave up in the playoffs against an Amare-less Suns. FOH!
hus hus That was the first thing that came to my mind lol. He set himself up saying that..
hus hus Kobe overrated as usual
steve kerr went on to mention larry and magic, both players who had SUPER teams. Put any one of those guys on the team tmac was on during their 20-win season and see if they lead them any better. Anyone can play "with fire" but if you dont have a good team behind it, you're just a passionate guy who loses the same. Not to mention, tmac wasted several of his prime years in succession on teams like that Orlando team before the trade. Kobe would have demanded a trade if every year the GM accumulated less and less talent and it culminated in a 20-win team.
@Keyboard Legend i agree tmac isnt kobe calibur. but it wasnt right for kerr to state something like that at the time, esp tmac coming coming off a 32 6, 6 season. i mean you cant just throw that away, you just cant. Now that its all said and done, yes tmac did not have a superstar career like kobe but early 2000s tmac and kobe were going head to head. kerr never liked mcgrady for some reason, every tmac game he broadcast he would always criticize.
@Keyboard Legend but your definitely right, tmac no where near had the career kobe had. people tend to blow that out of proportion! talent wise hes up there but kobes legacy is something else and obviously jordan. tmac is my fav player however because of style of play. he was so damn smooth
Two of my favorite players ever
More Francis highlights please. From Orlando!
I’m one of the biggest TMac fans ever, and I know he didn’t have teams like Kobe or MJ, heck even Wade and Bron, but what Kerr said was right. He didn’t have the killer mentality and wasn’t that hungry to be better and ask more of his teammates. Why everyone mad at Kerr? It’s a compliment for Kerr to even put T Mac in the same sentence with MJ, cause Kerr is no dummy, he sees the raw potential Mac had. He had all the tools, except the injury bug on his back couldn’t leave him alone, and Orlando management couldn’t build a right team around him.
And and I'm a Vince Carter fan... When LeBron had to do it he couldn't do it so he teamed up with Wade when Wade had to do it that one year he couldn't do it so he got LeBron.... T-Mac and Vince Carter did it for years never got help except that one year where T-Mac got arrest but the injury bug got him.... Vince Carter got it with Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson.... Both were recovering from injuries while Vince Carter was at his peak.... It's just the luck of the draw it is what it is but let's not act like if Michael Jordan.... Didn't have legendary coach and great role players which were great players in other teams before joining MJ... And Kobe never did it without the same coach as Jordan
.... LeBron didn't do it with slacker of coaches either.... But tell me what great system that T-Mac or Vince Carter ever played in where it wasn't simply give them the ball and get out the way....
Craig Sager reporting :/
The four years tmac was in Orlando ghill couldn't play smh soon as Mac leaves grant makes the all star team
Steven Brazzell hill was always injured when he was with tmac research first before commenting
Steven Brazzell where did you say he was injured? Your comment was implying that tmac was preventing him to play on a hight level, are you a kid? Only kids will resort to such childish insults. Grow up 😊
Kim Lacuata you're a idiot
Kim Lacuata Youre reaching bruh. The way I read it, hes saying its unfortunate GHill became healthy the year T-Mac left.
M4C thank you
Magic fans terrible for booing this man. He gave everything, played with injuries and meanwhile they surrounded him with Matr Declerq, the corpse of Shawn Kemp and Keith Bogins.
what a beautiful game it used to be, it was a tough mans game, these dudes really went at it
Two of the best guards of the 2000's I honestly think this trade ruined Stevie Franchise career
Mr Q Ceaz two of the best best guards of the 2000’s? U forgot A.I & Kobe ?
@@Hot33333333 I didn't name them because I didn't say the 2 best I said 2 of the best I can name 10 of 15 great guards of the 2000's I just said 2 of the best
Mr Q Ceaz same here, he was never the same player he was at rockets
MrBrenman21 to be honest t-mac was never as great as he was on Orlando either
@@kinglou1908 facts bro
Rip craig sager... my mans had some serious drip.
Still got both Orlando jerseys
5:00 the commentator said tmac wasn’t a superstar. That is such a BS opinion, tmac is as good as kevin durant. You could replace KD with a prime tmac and the warriors wouldn’t miss a beat
Edward Cui, that was Steve Kerr.
They would get worse.
The big difference is KD is 3 inches taller and can protect the rim. As far as offense they were identical. Id give KD the slight edge.
Edward Cui T-Mac wouldn’t be able to play power forward like KD does lol he was never near a great defender like KD
Nana Gyambibi tmac was a great defender in Toronto he was sending back shots over and over
In 2005 you had the pistons spurs mavericks heat and my phoenix suns all considered title contenders.this era in the modern nba you know who's gonna win even before the season starts. Damn.
Tf is Kerr talking about??? When he leeched his whole career off the greatness of guys like McGrady!? FOH...
Buttttt but but but excuse me sir but Mr.Kerr never played with Mac bruvvv hahaha lolz
T-Mac should've waited one more year. He would've that exact team minus Francis, Mobley & Cato. Dwight, Hedu, Jameer, Doug Christie & Grant hill final playing would've been great for him
Kobe Jordan aka Tony Tony Tony right
Please post the triple over time game, Rockets vs. Pacers, 2001, where Francis got fouled out and Moochie Norris came to the rescue!
FRancis was better than Damian Lillard here. THe handles and athleticism was crazy. Steve Kerr talking crazy...Mr. psychologist.
Those Magic pinstripe unis was clean
Tmac was a superstar and vc was a superstar
Deke was playing all out like a soldier and that had to be the year or two before he retired respect 👍
One of my all time fav players
Steve Francis would've been one of the greatest but a woulda, shoulda, coulda tho
Jay Lee, overrated.
Mannnn I miss tHese days
steve kerr is so overrated as a player and coach lol
He's right about Mcgrady tho
Armando De Los Santos no the hell he not just because he played with Jordan he think he’s an expert about the game.
He wasn’t nothing but a clutch shot maker nothing else he don’t know shit
@@courtneytallman5431 what like stupid shit is that?! He played in the NBA for years before joining the Bulls and after! The man knows basketball especially more than little bitches on TH-cam comments
@@courtneytallman5431 Mcgrady was overrated as hell the way you're trying to make Kerr sound? Mcgrady has no business in the hall of fame he's another indicator that the league fell off after the lockout of 1999
TMac was a great player with a short career. But pressure in Orlando?!... Imagine being in a known for WINNING HISTORY type of team... Now that is pressure!!!
Decisions is a key factor (Self or Team) You roll the dice!!! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐐🤫
Lol they booed him when he was traded i remember watching this so pissed.
😂 don’t get mad at me forget he demanded a trade
Steve Francis was like the Dwayne Wade before Dwayne Wade. hehe.
The VS that was a change
It's crazy how they both played for Magic&Rockets.
Yaaa budddd CAUSE they got traded FOR each other hahaha lolz pretty simple math there palll lolz
