NBA's Steve Francis: Ominous Update On Houston Chain Snatchers

Remember those guys who roughed up Steve Francis and then jacked his chain at a Houston rap show last year???

Well, Steve Francis sure does ... and just implied that the perps got some sort of comeuppance ... and it sounds scary as hell.

Francis spoke with SlamOnline and was asked about the incident, which was captured on video and posted by TMZ Sports.

His response -- "Ask the people who touched me how they feel."

Yikes.

As we previously reported, the chain was eventually recovered thanks to some help from rap mogul J. Prince ... one of the most powerful, well-respected names in Houston.
