Former NBA star Steve Francis was violently dragged to the ground when a thief tried to yank a chain off his neck this past weekend in Houston.
Francis, who was actually onstage at a concert with the Sauce Twinz, hit the ground hard after the bold burglar tried to rip the chain off the 3-time All-Star’s neck. It looks so violent because the chain didn’t rip off as thief likely thought it would.
TMZ first reported the crook eventually made off with the chain, but Francis says he is in possession of the piece of jewelry.
