Outtakes with Steve Francis Dan Patrick's interview with Rockets guard Steve Francis appears in the April 30 edition of ESPN The Magazine. Rockets guard Steve Francis averaged 19.9 points and 6.5 assists this season. DP: Do you still drink that fruit drink Wink? SF: I can't find it in Houston, so I'm a Hawaiian Punch guy. Is that a Pepsi product? You know what, just to be sure, put me down for Pepsi. We're working on a deal with them now. [editor's note: Hawaiian Punch is not a Pepsi product] DP: And you want me to ask you about Destiny's Child, don't you? You're using me, aren't you, Steve? SF: I'm definitely using you for a plug! It's the first time I've ever turned it around and used somebody else. DP: So what's the message for Destiny's Child? SF: That I think they're hot and I didn't want the photo shoot with The Magazine to end. DP: That is so sweet. DP: Cuttino is your best friend, right? Give me some dirt on him. SF: Me and Cuttino are airtight. I can tell you one thing, he has no rhythm. He swears he's the coolest dancer, but he doesn't move his legs. Cuttino is all hips and fingers. DP: Who would you say has more rhythm, Matt Bullard or Cuttino Mobley? SF: Matt Bullard can definitely boogie. From 1 to 13 on our team, Cuttino is 12. DP: Who's 13? SF: Me! I'm terrible. All I do is bob my head left to right. Without a ball in my hands, I clap and snap too much. But at least I admit it. DP: "The Sopranos" or "Oz"? SF: I don't want to do the same thing everybody does, so I watch Oz. DP: Nice cover. I know you just watch for Rick Fox. SF: Oh, he's the worst actor! He curses so much on that show, just like at the refs. DP: He had a moment of brief nudity. I don't know if you saw that episode. SF: No! And I'm glad. DP: Did you used to cry when you'd lose? SF: I cried every loss until, like, my third at Maryland. I stopped because there are too many games, and I wouldn't have any tears left for my wedding. DP: Hang on ... sorry, I just got a little nauseous there, Steve. SF: It's true. DP: If the Grizzlies... SF: Aww, man... DP: Vancouver is a big downer, huh? SF: Yeeeeeeah. DP: Give me the one CD you have that you're a little embarrassed about. SF: I got the new Madonna CD the first day it came out. I like that song "Music." Hold up for a sec, Dan... DP: Is that Cuttino in the background interrupting us? SF: Cuttino just wants to be heard. DP: Put him on for a second. CM: Dan? DP: Steve said you want to be heard. What do you want to tell me. CM: We're young guys who like having fun, and that's all right. DP: I hear that. I'd like to see him in a Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
Forget about a Pepsi commercial with Britn.ay Spears. I like to see Francis in a Walt Disney commercial, because you know what that would mean....!
The Rockets won the NBA title. ------------------ Founder and President of the Houston Homers Club(HHC) - Are you a homer? Join now! The Rockets will be NBA champions. Believe.
Aw, man, you could tell he was on cloud 9! All Steve's interviews crack me up. I'm glad Stevie didn't see Rick Fox's ass too. It would leave me TRAUMATIZED, I tell you. ------------------ Chris Webber at the July 28, 2001 3:00 PM news conference when he announces where he will go: "It seemed tough, but with guidance from Steve Francis, I learned my true destiny. That destiny is to play for the Houston Rockets, to bring them back to championship glory. One big man is all they need, and I believe I can fill that void. Thanks to the loyal fans in Sacramento, but Houston, Texas is where I belong."
Every time I see or hear an interview with Francis and/or Mobley I like them more. ------------------
Francis is dating Brittany Spears? ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
I think that was a Reebok commercial... The one that kept flashing "DEFY" up on the screen? Does it also have Edgerrin James knocking down a tree? ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers. [This message has been edited by RunninRaven (edited April 20, 2001).]
No. Where did you get that? Isn't she still with the Nsync guy. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
That Reebok comercial was cool. ------------------ Sorry Clutch; I had to copy the recap headline "the Mo and Fro Show" into my username cause I loved it!
