Player Spotlight: Craig Foster
Point Guard – GoTime Green Machine
Craig Foster, a tough and talented point guard for the GoTime Green Machine, hails from Lawton, Oklahoma—a city he proudly represents every time he steps on the court. A devoted family man, Craig has been with his fiancée since he was 15 years old. Together, they have three children—one son and two daughters—who are his greatest motivation. “I truly love being a dad,” he says. “My family is everything.”
Basketball was Craig’s first love, and it remains his passion today. “Now that I’m older, it’s a game that brings me peace,” he reflects. “It allowed me to travel from a small city and see what the world has to offer. I’m grateful for the grind.”
Known for his competitive edge and humble beginnings, Craig takes pride in his underdog mentality. “I’m from a city where nothing is ever given to us. So why not shock the world against the team that won it all?”
His resume speaks for itself—Craig was named Division II Player of the Year and has competed professionally with the Saint John Riptide (NBL), the NBA G League’s OKC Blue, and in high-stakes, big-money tournaments around the country. Off the court, he coaches at his former high school, which recently made it to a state championship game—proof that his leadership goes far beyond his playing days.
Craig’s training routine is a disciplined blend of shooting reps, weight training, and yoga—geared toward improving both mind and body. His favorite team is the Miami Heat, a reflection of his gritty, all-heart approach to the game.
To the next generation of hoopers, Craig offers this advice:
“Get your reps in every day, always connect with people, and most importantly—be yourself.”
A proud ambassador of his roots, Craig adds: “We thank the city of Lebanon for having us Oklahoma guys out. We love this city and the support it’s shown us.”
His mindset is clear:
“The marathon continues.”
“Just aim to be 1% better each day.”
