Described by the American press as the player who will change everything because of his physical enormity and surprisingly unique talent, he is Connor Williams, the giant basketball star who has become a star that everyone knows and companies seek to sign him, although he is still in the University League.
He is called "Big Cozy", as he is 213 centimeters tall and weighs about 165 kilograms. His body appears fat, but his talent and height overshadow the extra weight.
He gained his wide fame after his remarkable brilliance with the “St. John Fisher” University team in the American College Basketball League.

John Fisher might be my new favorite college basketball player.
He's a cybersecurity major from Rochester listed at 7-foot, 360 pounds and goes by the nickname of "Big Cozy."
What a boss.

Williams' fame initially began at the end of 2021 through a 20-second video clip, but he achieved huge views on Twitter, amounting to 8.4 million views, when he fell on the field and got up while he "limped" in a match against the Buffalo team, before he brilliantly passed to his teammate, who He scored, and the press there called him "the one who stole America's heart."

Big Cozy's fame has multiplied until he hit the headlines recently after he signed several new business contracts, most notably with Leaf Trading Cards and Barstool Sports, a clothing company that featured him lounging in front of a fireplace with a basketball on his finger on its various T-shirts.
