Steve Francis was trending, and getting slandered, again this weekend when he was spotted court side at a Lakers vs. Rockets game. The speculation was that Stevie Franchise is on drugs, but he swears that is just not the case.
Reports TMZ Sports:
TMZ Sports spoke to Francis about the health rumors that reignited last weekend after he showed up at the Lakers-Rockets game looking … kinda different. Social media comments were brutal and included speculation he might be on drugs.
But Steve said all that drug talk is “so far from the truth. That’s why I don’t worry about social media.” He added he’s purely focused on his family, and his community in Houston. “I’m trying to be a positive influence on people.”
As for his appearance at the game — a source close to Steve told us there’s no health issue, “He’s just old.”
Damn, that source is cold-blooded. Also, Steve Francis is 38—not exactly a spring chicken but not the time to start looking like a grizzled triple OG that smokes nothing but Kools and drinks everything with Henny.
