Dude was a mass monster for his time with good lines. I'm not up on the sport's history, but why didn't he make a bigger impact?

The talent pool was stacked during the 80s and 90s. Imagine Big Craig with a mid 90s onwards drug stack

Wasn’t he in tight with Tookie Williams and connected with the crips? He was one massive, no bullshit individual and not someone to cross. I suspect he was on a boat load of real gear and had he had gh - unreal.

He's got an interesting story, he was one of the original Crips who tookie and everyone looked up to but he grew up.

Aside from the fact that he was big, there's nothing special about how he looked. He was easy to overlook. Here is a more current photo of Craig.
