Efren Reyes talks about BEST ONE POCKET PLAYER (past and present)

[@pepotoxin]

Efren's turning 69 this August and still plays pretty good. He may not have won the most world championships but in my eyes he's the BEST ALL AROUND PLAYER EVER.

[@dougoverhoff7568]

Lots of people who are knowledgeable would agree with you, indubitably. There are few others who would even be recognized as being in consideration for the best all around. Efren would definitely be my choice as #1, and I'm pretty familiar with most all of the top players over the past century and a half. The question would really be, in my estimation, who is second best.

[@pepotoxin]

Yep. No other player has his table knowledge and all around skills. He's amazing in 8 9 and 10balls, phenomenal in 1pocket and straight pool, outstanding in bank pool and competitive in carom billiards. He's been doing it for more than 3 decades now!

[@dougoverhoff7568]

@@Brownie-tg3nu Yes, I know. I actually had a chance to meet him and to play him. He was #1 in the World for an extended period, back In the day, and yet he's very humble, down to earth, and a very nice man. He is a very strong player in all cue games and quite knowledgeable. Cheers!

Efren: "if they get old maybe I'm still the best". Young or old you're still the best Efren

Cliff Joyner was the best one pocket player 25 30 years ago, shit it away

[@roadrunner381]

Wrong, Cliff could never play Efren play even, I watched him give Cliff 8-7 and beat him at the Derby for 10,000 in 2003!
