" i wanna see his longevity " present day: still playing at a professional level at almost 70 🐐

[@dirtonknees2]

It wasn't a dis though. He was just saying to be declared the BEST OF ALL TIME you need to show longevity. Remember this was in 97, only 3 years after Efron's first major title!

[@konnordexter8437]

@dirtonknees2 and I wasn't taking a shot either? Just saying how funny that is now that he is the best to ever play the game and still competing at a professional level finishing in the top 5 or top 3 in a lot of the tournaments he has been playing in

[@dirtonknees2]

@konnordexter8437 for sure! Its nuts how great he ultimately became 🙂 One of my best friends got to play him in 9 ball a few times when he came out here to Aurora, IL. My buddy got hot and won 2 games 😁

[@kaneikaika]

Last shot was simply "WOW‼️" Magician!

[@gordonfarina938]

The last shot with 2 opionts the nine or Position

[@nickp4793]

Any chance you can upload the match that Efren commentated? It is: 1998 SRO Danny Medina vs Nick Varner. Thanks!!!

[@thelmeno]

I had no idea that Andy Richter was so good at pool….

[@fgentertainment9468]

Those Brunswick tables are beauties

[@julzmuzik9464]

Look at the precision at @1:23:28 The GOAT

[@tornintheflesh5781]

I noticed Efren's opponent when he's ahead the other get irritated...it's either complaint, show temper, talk too much...etc. Efren stay cool, collective, focus , & quiet...never affected him at all. That's why he's more respected player. So humble

[@Ghostyashi42]

Efren is the 🐐

[@lebronharden1541]

Efren is 1 in a billion

[@jackjackal1768]

Thats not Grady Mathews, sounds more like Danny D

[@rogerscottcathey]

Yeah that's Danny

[@AccuStats]

Yes, you are correct. Fixed it.

[@MrShark4488]

It is a shame that it took as long as it did for Jose to get inducted into the Hall Of Fame

[@edisonedison1103]

Efren is "The Magician" and he has a big luck too. He's my hero at pool. Thanks Accu.

[@williammaximus8414]

Efren looks so young here...he was 43-ish here.

[@PostUp_Time]

*EFREN WAS PLAYING "BABY FATS"!*

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren is the GOAT.

[@SuperMrBlarg]

Any Shane VS Efren in the vault ?! I’ll be looking for that 😎 thanks, as always this is amazing

[@lazagakenjininoroxas7192]

2017 derby City classic Efren vs SVB

[@kartoleksonosomad]

Effren reyes sangat bagus

[@jaypisme2343]

Shannon is super talented to get Efren on 3 like that.

[@adcniko2]

these 2 commentators didn't even talk about on Efren hitting the 9ball to win the race and immediately fanned the camera to the other pool table for another players,what ashame, coz their player lose shannon lose. no importance on efren winning this game?

[@jlobiafra]

They slurped him for an hour and thirty minutes but you want more slurping? Geez you efren groupies are a sensitive bunch, there are other great pool players out there also

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

I am my greatest admirer while I'm playing pool and it does not matter if you take issue with my boasting. My dad stopped paying me to keep his unbroken winning streak against all his children. I let him believe his own fantasy he was always going be better than me in pool. I've never seen anyone on earth better under pressure than the "Magician" (bata) REYES.

[@wyattshelton2080]

Philippinos play well because they play coooooonstantly. 8,9 or 10 hours on the weekends a day, 5,6 or 7 hours on weekdays while working. They play pool religiously

[@jvask33zie]

you mean because they practice?

[@rogerscottcathey]

45:06 ok, tell me how Efren could use the end cushion here as Danny described instead of what Efren did . . .

[@rogerscottcathey]

1:23:38 Efren playing the odds. Lol. Yeah

[@jaypisme2343]

Inside top spin maybe

[@jaypisme2343]

120:45 wow

[@mariareginasanchez7693]

EFREN IS THE GREATEST POOL PLAYER OF ALL TIME...8 BALL..9 BALL..ONE POCKET..YOU NAME IT..AND THE BEST OF ALL HE REMAINS HUMBLE..

[@laniambray8436]

When a guy always gets lucky like Efren and always gets away more than 50% pocketing or countering hiding shots it is actually his ability to recall all positions from the past in his memory the angle the speed …etc to a many it’s magic. Efren revealed that one night to me with his old trainer and cue tip repairman Jack English. That’s why to us looks magic as he practice them precisely.

[@katiemcdavid4124]

There are no degrees of correctness!!!!!!!! 50:24

[@TimAtkinson-qs6sv]

Beautiful shot to end that match!!!

[@onepocketnovice]

A miscue should NOT be a foul.

[@poolfool31021]

It is a foul if any part of shaft except tip contacts cb

[@onepocketnovice]

@@poolfool31021 I feel like you're implying that a miscue is the action of the tip glancing off of the cue ball and causing the ferrule or shaft to contact the cue ball. That is not what a miscue is. The ferrule and or shaft more often than not do not contact the cueball during or immediately after a miscue. This has been proven.

[@hawktime]

​@@onepocketnovice If you can hear the ding it's a foul, surely a leather tip does not make that sound. Logic and physics.

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Imagine if Efren had a jumpshot in his arsenal. He would have been untouchable.

[@cincinnatigrinder4951]

you think he can't jump a ball... 😂...goof

[@refiii9499]

21:30 wow that’s the first time I’ve watched a match that efren played and got a three foul loss of game. I’ve watched a lot of his matches and have never seen him foul out. Shannon was a great pool player. Very bright good stroke and probably even better one pocket player than 9 ball.

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Only in this game i learned that it was Parica who invented the soft break before Corey Deuel and Mika immonen.

[@Ram-xz3dv]

“Again a nice bad stroke” Danny 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@user-nt9ck5cz8q]

My personal opinion, forcing someone to foul out a game is just showing to me, that he can't win legit.

[@jlobiafra]

That's stupid, the reason they do the three foul strategy is because there isn't an open table to run the balls

[@zanecruz3499]

That "third foul" at 21:21 was not a foul. Watch it in slow motion he clearly made contact with the four ball first. Hell, he even almost pocketed it. 🐐

[@PV75445]

Watched it in slow-mo, he definitely hit the 7-ball first, then hit the rail, then the 4 and then the 7 again lmao.

[@brianzimba5769]

The greatest of all time is none other than Efren Bata Reyes ❤❤❤❤❤

[@timatkinson9291]

That’s why he’s “the magician”. Great shot to end the match!!!

[@boendahbandofficial8628]

God of pool

[@Krushard]

They have a ref but rack for each other? Nah, I'd pass on such chivalry :) Also, Efren is a beast. I mean, you always know it but then you find a video that you didn't see and "wow, the bad mofo did it again!".

[@richardtharp1608]

Got to Comment on How Long this Guy made the Match Run.. Can't Believe all of the Many Mistakes that Efren Made here Either.. Thanks

[@junaedijuned8384]

1:20:41

[@0Caracalla]

@23:00

[@kientang1647]

1:23:10 bet nobody could predict that shot

[@kafungechaofficial4746]

There is hope for us?

[@kaylaschroeder1]

Listening to the announcers bicker and banter the entire time frankly takes away from the astounding play of these top players. It almost diminishes the players. Sounds derogatory far too often with some fairly ridiculous "predictions" and arrogant assumptions. Anyway, I enjoyed the match either way. Just wish the announcers wouldn't be so... however they are. Love Efren, always. Never seen Shannon play before, and I was extremely impressed with his game. Thanks for this vintage gem.

[@ValerieannBantillo-bk2vn]

😂😂😂😂so we must to eat worm to make our eyes clear 😅😅😅

[@vebnew]

That was beautiful - - - I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me!

[@user-vb2vf1ce7d]

21:37 “One of the rare times this mad used bad judgment. There’s hope for us” 😂

[@daveusaz7152]

They play well cuz they practice

[@danzigmcnaniel5226]

That's not a fupa, that's a breaking cushion.

[@user-nt9ck5cz8q]

There are only 2 guys that I do not like to watch. Daulton & Sigel!😮😢

[@thetexascaromclub8741]

Efren has definitely never been one of the best balkline players dr bill

[@user-nt9ck5cz8q]

I remember the days when if you hid the ball like Shannon is doing, u would have gotten a finger broke.😮😢

[@jlobiafra]

That's because you played rednecks on bar tables who don't know the rules or strategies

[@fastballonly]

Fouling out Efren is a big deal.

[@sergeykhachaturov9397]

Reyes let’s perica beat him.

[@rodansalvador3952]

Amang ...

[@sergeykhachaturov9397]

Stupid kick on 2 ball from Reyes!

[@user-nt9ck5cz8q]

Karma gonna get you Shannon!😮😂

[@richardwhiting1480]

Not Reyes best match, but it is always a pleasure watching "The Magician" even if it is his "B" game
