He continued to work for TNT for over 30 years and also worked with TBS, covering NBA and MLB games through this past summer, including a game in the NBA Finals.
Craig was one of the most popular sports reporters of all time, famously known for his bold and colorful attire — stylish in every sense of the word, with a wardrobe to match.
The NBA says their teams will have a moment of silence to reflect on the life of a wonderful personality.
On Thursday before the Nuggets hosted a game against the Portland Trailblazers, a few of Denver’s player’s showed their gratitude.
