And what's with the 41 happiness rating? I think he seems happier than that.

Obviously all these writers get their information from Fran Blinberry. I swear this guy is sorting out some conspiracy against Steve Francis.

He turned 24 on the night we broke a 6-game losing streak vs. the T-Wolves. It was the game where Calvin was out and the Rocket-beater Jim Peterson filled in for him. So, of course, he's 24.

finalsbound,

Check my links.

espn/cc.net have him at 2/21/78 = 23
nba.com has him at 2/21/77 = 24

Patricia Bender's site has him at 1978, too.

Dead serious. I remember Horseteeth Malosky very clearly excliaming, "It's your birthday, Steve!" and him going "Yeah. It was nice to beat Minnesota on my 24th even though I had a bad game." And Bill said something like, "I can't remember back when I was 24!" The dude's 24. It even said on the screen under him, HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY, STEVE! So I really think he's 24.

I know for a fact that he is 23, I have 5 basketball cards of him, and they all say that he was born on 2/21/78.
