Welcome Home Stevie Franchise!


Steve Francis once a proud member fop the Rockets is headed home. 3 years and three different teams later the man Bill Worrel dubbed "Stevie Franchise" is back.

The Rockets traded Francis along with Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato to land T-Mac, but now Francis has made a full circle coming back to the city he calls home.

The Rockets have the NBA's most improved roster this off-season. Adding Scola, Wells (who did not play most of last season), Mike James and now Francis. Houston held the fourth best record in the West last year, but was ousted by Utah in the first round.

I'm excited that Stevie is back, so much that my brother and I decided to split season tickets - the first time I've had them since Olajuwon, Barkley and Pippen were on the franchise.

Go Rockets!
