Efren Reyes World Greatest Pool Player

[@nibols23]

oh my god this guy is so humble and laid back and still kick everybodys butt on the pool table what a man,.

[@aznelf13]

i love this guy, so carefree, confident, laxed, it's like he's partyign all the time.

[@OM3N1R]

He is the nicest person ever! When he came to Bangkok he was sooo modest.

[@nibols23]

notice his left hand, he has his hand position ready to play pool hes doing the close bridge. hes gotten alot older but i still admire him humble person. even the guy the god of pool cant argue with that.its like watching michael jordan, tiger woods and albert einstein at the sametime.

[@willstuart4504]

Awesome interview....👏👏 Here's a scary thought, the Efren Reyes we all know.... from mid 80's to present day, with his endless titles of every game imaginable, isn't even the BEST version of himself. 😲 Many... people that were with Efren and witnessed his play in the 70's and early 80's, when Efren was Teenager and early 20's... ALL say that it was at THAT point in his playing days that he was at his PRIME. I read in a Pool magazine that when Efren was 18 to 19 yrs old, even the American Pros would need to be spotted 3 or 4 games when racing to 11. Money games I'm talking about. And he would STILL win 11-6 ... Lol These were Pros on the circuit.... he was THAT dominant at that age. He even beat a young Ronny O in snooker back when he was in his 20's. And he only dabbled in snooker for a short period of time, mostly because of the availability of the snooker sized tables and opponents willing to take him on. Craziness...

[@SlickRick4EVER]

I liked how Aaron questioned Efren on the humidity on tables in 4:10 and Efren acutally explaining how it helps. Very imformative.

[@LeonFleisherFan]

Gotta love this guy, my favourite player of all time! Go Efren!

[@vincentwu5981]

he speaks good english for someone that didn't speak english as his native language, plus he only spent time in America for short periods of time. its not really that he's bad at english, but the accent is difficult to understand. his words are so wise though that i would replay this 10 times to understand everything.

[@vareseources]

He finished only Grade 2 but his English is good enough. better than Pacquiao actually. He used the right words, it's just the accent that is hard to understand for English-speaking people.

[@aquinovisperas]

You know how humble he is when he mentioned that he got knockout from a game in his first sentence..lol

[@veyomiranda9154]

Madaming baon si Idol Efren..hindi naubusan ng ingles

[@odoneilbartolo]

efren can play almost anything.. 8balls 9balls 10balls bankshot one pocket and 3 cushion billiards.. and he won countless of times in derby city he always wins overall champ...

[@GodInTheMachine]

this guy is YODA on a pooltable. respect.

[@D3monk89]

reminds me of my dad. haha dam miss that old man

[@davidmacatangay4235]

Everybody just loved Efren's Martian Language. They don't mind it anymore but it's kinda down-to-earth funny.

[@fercicar6494]

did you know efren is a good chess player

[@redsoil5]

hindi nakatapos ng highschool si Efren pero at least nakaka relate sya sa interview not perpect but it came from the heart. i like his humility and honesty. that's what make a man great i think. hindi kailangan mahusay tayo sa ingles para maging great.

[@MRYAZUWEALTHY]

Our legend in billiard

[@arnexdangdut]

I'm a fan of Efren Bata Reyes the greatest pool player in the Philippines. And if snooker had been in the Philippines he must have excelled on this form of pool.

[@kiritokirigaya2330]

Still the GOAT ... pinakamagaluling up to this time wala p rin makakapantay kay the magician efren Bata reyes

[@unokram4867]

very humble man. the king of billiards

[@charmainetico3589]

Been a fan of this man since my childhood days! A very humble man. God bless you more Efren! Proud Filipino😍

[@bone6966]

i think efren done the interview very well infact because= i really never hear him actually open up like he did here, talking straight up, why he wins the big ones. He is usually very humble. As for his speech, i think he done well, that him basically being tagalog most of his life. The interviewer had timing problems if anyone did lol

[@SuperWeng10]

but i think when speaking english efren is much better than manny pacquiao, he can express what he wants to say with little effort.. although bit funny sometimes. but who cares anyway he is the greatest pool player..

[@maxvirtus2614]

Weng Ten yup

[@cheezlayer]

Weng Ten wahahahaha dead right on the spot!

[@vareseources]

totally agree.. pacquiao is trash

[@deo_mardeo]

@@vareseources try to talk to manny nowadays😁

[@justdoit4317]

Yan ang Mga totoong Pilipino The world greatest pool player> efren bata reyes The world greatest boxer> manny pacquiao Their the most Filipino baddas

[@katasinEX]

@notbestfriends Misconie himself is the best at 14.1 but he cant be labeled as GOAT if he only plays one kind of ball game. Efren on the other hand plays various types of pool games.. won a lot of championship and achieved so many goals. In my opinion I'd say Efren is the GOAT. Dont get me wrong Im not putting down Misconie. Its just like Basketball you CANT be MVP if all u do is shoot 3 pts.

[@adamsteele6148]

14.1 is the ultimate game so your argument is weak. Willie considered nine ball, eight ball inferior and mostly luck based. Greenleaf and mosconi would wipe the floor with any of these guys.

[@arthursaulda8626]

Humble Guy & The GOAT of Pool.

[@randymonster4105]

He's the GOAT in pool and a GOAT in humility.

[@vincentwu5981]

@LanderskieChannel Yea, pretty much like how America produces so many great athletes because organized team sports is so easily accessible here.

[@arbakra]

i love this guy best player ever

[@jaezryl]

Suprisingly so I can understand Efren's english just fine. I'm surprised some people cannot understand it.

[@doraemonrox]

@SpeckleDork26 Michael Jordan is like the Efren Reyes of basketball. ; )

[@Descente36]

I can't believe someone just made such a dumb statement on an Efren Reyes video. Hustlers look better at the game than they really are, unsurprising because they only play people they know they can beat-which is one of the main principles of hustling. Playing on a professional circuit with players that can match you shot for shot, safety for safety and play for play-it's a completely different game. Get this: "The Hustler" Minnesota Fats has never won a professional tournament in his life.

[@BloodyFingerz]

Filipinos are great pool players.. I miss the game of 9ball..

[@eddietito4348]

Efren just mention the difference between him and other top players in prime competitions. He keeps cool calm and collected in big games unlike most of his opponents.

[@herbertnaive3431]
