An unbelievable talent. For me, there is no greater sporting spectacle than O'Sullivan in full flight. In the right frame of mind, he is unbeatable.

A genius at work, there are not many sportsmen in the global world who, as been so successful as Ronnie

[@MrBlazer3585]

Even Lionel Messi, who is the goat of football is not a flawless as Ronnie....different sports same dedication the longevity the "ease"...many similarities but I think the precision of such a difficultly of the game and the precision mental resilience, some how put him above Messi imo Different sports and Messi is truly the best but if snooker was bigger then Ronnie would be having more acclaim. Again my opinion.

[@karlsugden4161]

@Jammyfish winning sports personality of the year should be based on your long life achievements, and Ronnie has won more than any sports professional in the world? So I believe it's a corrupt organisation just like the government ? Anyway, Ronnie has nothing to prove to anyone only to himself, just like anyone in the world here today gone tomorrow as tomorrow is not promised it's only a gift to have another chance to live another day ? So it's so important to fill your life every day with joy happiness kindness love and positive energy . I have gratitude for everything you have right now in the present moment cus this the future ✨️

[@Jammyfish]

@@karlsugden4161 I believe Phil Taylor won more world titles & was more dominant in his sport. He never took a year off or cherry picked which tournaments he'd participate in; not to mention failing a drugs test for marijuana. Dedicated to snooker like George Best/Gazza were to football. Yes all achieved alot & were naturally talented, BUT all could've & should've achieved so much more.

[@sergiogiacomosammartano7623]

2024 now, just finished watching O'Sullivan destroying Ali Carter 10 - 2 in the quarter finals of the Tour Championship in Manchester. And, since he's already won 2 of the 3 Triple Crown events this season, you can assume that this Tour for him is just a practice session for the Crucible next month. Thinking that he's still at the top of the game and kicking asses 10 years after his display of skills shown in the video above, and over 30 years after his professional debut, is simply mind-blowing to me. 🤯

A genius, an artist and the greatest of all time even before his 6th or 7th World Titles were even won.
