2. 弗老大 Steve Francis
Steve D'Shawn Francis (born February 21, 1977 in Silver Spring, Maryland, US) is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the NBA. Nicknamed "The Franchise" and self-described as "Steve-O", with his on-court and off-court antics generating considerable controversy throughout his career. He is known for his crossover dribble (左右手交换运球), driving ability (运球能力), and flashy dunks (花式扣篮).
1999年NBA选秀中，从马里兰大学毕业的弗朗西斯在首轮第2位被温哥华灰熊队选中，但是由于其不愿去灰熊打球，球队不得不在夏天将其交换到了休斯顿火箭队。2002年，作为球队核心的弗朗西斯在2002年NBA选秀中以第一轮第一顺位选中了来自中国的状元秀中锋姚明，他们两人成为了新的火箭队明星组合，在第一年就险些将去年还在联盟末尾徘徊的火箭带入季后赛。他在对阵洛杉矶湖人队时，拿下了职业生涯最高的44分。他曾经三次入选NBA全明星。弗郎西斯由于其达40英寸（1.02米）的垂直弹跳和扣篮而出名。
On June 29, 2004, Francis was traded to the Orlando Magic (奥兰多魔术队) along with Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato in a seven-player deal that sent Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue, and Reece Gaines to Houston.
2006年1月12日，弗朗西斯由于拒绝在球队落后时上场而被球队禁赛。但是他在四天后复出。
On February 5, 2006, there were rumors that he could be traded to the Denver Nuggets (丹佛掘金队) for Earl Watson but they were later dismissed and GM Otis Smith publicly announced that he would not trade Francis. However, rumors persisted that Francis would be traded to the New York Knicks (纽约尼克斯队), Los Angeles Lakers (洛杉矶湖人队), Seattle SuperSonics (西雅图超音速队), or even back to his former team, the Houston Rockets.
On 22 February, one day before the NBA's trade deadline, Steve Francis was traded to the New York Knicks for small forward (小前锋) Trevor Ariza and the expiring contract of shooting guard (得分后卫) Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway. 2月26日，他第一次代表尼克斯队出战，拿下16分，但是球队以90比94输给了新泽西网队。
On 2007 draft night, June 28, the Knicks traded Francis plus Channing Frye to the Portland Trail Blazers (波特兰开拓者队) for Zach Randolph, Dan Dickau, and Fred Jones. On July 10, the Trail Blazers bought out (买断) the remaining two years of Francis's contract for a reported $30 million, making him an unrestricted free agent (自由球员).
2007年7月20号，Francis 重和休斯顿火箭队签约，仍穿3号球衣。
Steve Francis 由于自己的个性和在姚明新秀赛季对其成长的关心和影响，被中国球迷称为“弗老大”，这也成为他在中国最出名的外号。（wikipedia）
