[@FloridaRaider]

Sad Larry is no longer with us. He had tremendous talent.

One of the greatest US players but never really travelled outside the midwest, kind of like Justin Bergman. He could freeze the cue ball to the top rail and shoot a ball hanging in a pocket at the bottom end, and draw the full table length and make a ball in the top corner. Then he would move the cue ball one chalk width from the rail and do it jacked up one handed.

very sad indeed so sad

Always good to see those older Efren matches. Larry was a great player and what a powerful break in 9 ball and short rack bank pool RIP Larry Nevel. What a great guy. Thanks Pat and Accu-Stats

"Your landlord wants you to play safe" - Danny D. quote of the match.

Old comment, but I liked “The operation was a success, but the patient died” as well.

[@RemkoDuursma]

Great shot and amazing runout from 16:13 !!!

[@andrewverrett568]

Danny is the most argumentative know it all ever. Even when he's completely wrong he just says well he had options instead of admitting he was completely wrong after saying he was certain

[@RemkoDuursma]

Super combination at 1:01:18

"You can bet your sweet bippy" was a line used on the Rowan and Martin show. "Bippy" means ass or butt.

[@christopherwelsh7008]

48:07 won't make the career Highlight Reel for Efren, but this was a fantastic shot in a sticky situation.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Great theme music!

Yeah, the little dink contest. You don't play Balk Line with a master of the game. I totally agree with your 9/10 assessment. And the one of ten part would most likely be an execution error, not a knowledge error. I still maintain that this one of Efren's supreme strengths, being SO very good at so very many table, stick, and ball games, one of the most beneficial, especially in strategic wars being three cushion. When you can not only hit balls on one or two rail kicks at very high percentage, but hit them where you want to on the ball, and knowing the resultant paths so well, that is a MASSIVE advantage. Much of the 'magician' came from that, IMO. I am certainly no expert, but that is what I saw. I think I saw him pick up a jump cue maybe twice in all the matches I've watched him play. "I don't see any advantage here" when the guy is setting up and down on the shot, and then immediately after the shot is completed, "Wow, that is a great shot". Yeah, I hate that. :-) And then Danny reiterates, "Good shot". One of those 'can we go back and edit that first comment out' moments. And what's worse is that there is no way to have that NOT happen every once in a while. If Nevel doesn't play bank pool, he should. That was pretty impressive, two of those back to back. Having that backboard ball down there helps, and actually here, helped, but still. Three long banks in a row (attempts/completions, with another shot in between) is just nuts. Man, Efren can turn a very good break around in one or two shots. "He's playing well, he deserves a bit of a roll". Like that matters. I have seen no correlation there, in my experience.

[@djamo1969]

Nevel’s runout in game two was excellent!

[@yvonepuguon6753]

May I ask what's the rule in here? I may not understand how this goes.

*THAT LOOKS LIKE EFREN IS PLAYING WITH A JUDD FULLER CUE* *JUDD WAS COMMISSIONED TO MAKE A 60" CUE, 12MM, AT 17-18 OUNCES, FOR THE MAGICIAN, BACK IN HISTORYYY*

Scott Smith is one of those guys that can always figure out a way to keep talking. Someone please take the microphone away from him.

*WATCHING POOL ON GREEN IS SO MUCH EASIER ON THE EYES. ABSORBS THE LIGHT AND WE DON'T HAVE THE GLARE FROM THE BLUE* _AND OF COURSE WE HAVE THE PROPER COLORED BALLS - TO NUMBER SET_

[@robertmeadows1657]

Like those pink balls.

[@djamo1969]

I think blue felt is better, but anything is better than the gray stuff Matchroom uses.

[@graydude4698]

👽 .... .. thx.

[@Bluehorseshoe4]

RIP Larry

[@artartful854]

Why can't they keep the correct score ?

[@andrewverrett568]

I'm happy stupid Danny has to eat his words now not willing to call efren the greatest at the beginning of this video. 20.years later and efren is now the most winning one pocket champion of all time.

[@g0dsgreen]

Requiescat in Pace Larry

[@philipcahill4190]

Efren is so fluid with the cue. Watching Efren, pool becomes art.

[@jefferyskelly3769]

Efren Reyes is not the best pool player ever, he's one of the best pool players but the best was Alfredo de Oro and Jerome koehe

[@PostUp_Time]

opinions are like xxxxxxx everyone has one

[@rolandoe.c8480]

Who else with you saying that?atleast maybe 100 person lol😂
