Where did things go wrong for Steve Francis? A tumultuous series of years laden with struggle continues, as the former NBA star was the recent victim of a chain snatching at a Houston show; and it was all caught on camera.

TMZ Reports:

The 38-year-old, 3-time NBA All-Star was onstage with the Sauce Twinz — a Houston rap duo — when someone crept up on the unsuspecting Francis and tried to rip his gold chain right off his neck. 

Problem is … the chain didn’t pop — and Francis was dragged down to the floor where the culprit continued to yank on the necklace while the discombobulated NBA star tried to figure out what was going on. 

Sources tell us the guy ended up removing the chain from Francis and booked it. 

We’re also told police were NOT called to the scene.

It’s currently unclear if Francis or Sauce Twinz are somehow connected to the culprit. In any case, it’s vexing to see the former superstar point guard put himself in a situation where he could be caught with the jux at 38-years-old. Sad story.
