"Growing up in this area, you very seldom get players who are from here come into the community and do stuff," said Francis, a former University of Maryland All-American. "This is something I've grown to love. That's why God put me here, to be a role model, especially for those kids who have it tough and maybe don't have as many opportunities. Every year we always manage to get out into the community here and do something. This feels good. It's great to reflect." Full Story Stevie does some nice things for his community and you can tell he is really excited to play for the magic now.
I hope Stevie does more nice things to clear his bad rep from skipping a game to watch the Janet Jackson Bowl. Steve's a great guy and I'm glad he gets to play where he's happy.
I figured he would warm up.. I knew that all that was really bugging him was the fact Houston is trading him after he thought he was going to be there forever..
