Ever since Reyes came over and started winning, they threw everything at him even the kitchen sink. The previous winners and players found it difficult to have a foreigner, beat them like he did. They tried all the way to the tournament of the king of the Hill. He did it in style. He did it with class, true gentlemen, all the way through. 🎱
@@teddyhaynes9876 you are 100% correct. Efren was not really the best at any one game,he just played them all at a pretty high level. He may have definitely been the best one pocket player, but there are quite a few guys that played better nine ball than Reyes.
@teddyhaynes9876 Yes i agree that he wasnt the best 9ball player. Because 9ball game is 70% about break, and if you break well, most likely a Pro Player would definitely run those remaining balls left. But you have to remember that 9ball is just one game in Pool and there are lots of pool games aside from 9balls. But if you account the most skilled overall pool player in all popl games in general. I guess if you would ask most PRO PLAYERS who understand the game better than you. Its safe to say that most of them says that Efren is the Best Pool Player of alltime.
EFREN wasnt the best 9ball player of alltime. But he is the best all around Pool Player ever if you account all pool games. Ask any Pro Players. Most of them will say that Efren is the Most Skilled Pool player.
The Magician plays with a cue stick that only costs $15?meaning to say it is not the quality of the cue but the skill of the person using the cue that matters most..plus,Efren is a really humble person,does not brag about his game & down to earth..huge respect to the GOAT..Efren 'Bata' Reyes
@@MaachoMaan when he first came to the states he was playing with a $13 dollar cue from the Phillipines. Later he got endorsed with several different cues like Meucci so yes this is actually true
Efron is the most interesting and enjoyable person I have ever watched play pool and I would put him as the greatest of his time but of all time years ago there was a man by the name of Ralph Greenleaf
I have a 61"/21.5oz. cue built special for me by Bill Stroud, of Joss West, in 1980; it has a brass joint and an ivory ferrule, and it came with a spare shaft. That cue cost me $350 in 1980; today, that cue is worth $2k. I have played nearly every day with it and only it. Bill told me that if you cannot break with your cue, you don't have a cue - you have a stick. He guaranteed me that I could break with my cue, and that if it broke or sustained damage from doing so, he would replace it for free; he's since died, so I don't think that promise will be honored - but I don't believe that after 42 years that will ever be necessary.
Keith is one goofy mother ff... but what I appreciate about him is that is not fake. Hes being himself hes not acting. That makes all the difference to me. But nevertheless he is an odd duck no question. I'd never believe he could play pool if I didnt see it w my own eyes. That son of a gun can fire in impossible shots like they're hangers. Only time he misses is cause he takes it for granted. He can make anything. Phenomenal player.
Hard to believe that at this point he was past his prime. At 17, playing at Hard Times in Costa Mesa he was unbeatable, at any game, at any stakes, any competition.
The guy talking smack about Reye's stroke. Lol Whatever. You still see Efren playing in all types of videos on social media. Haven't seen the smack talker since 87' lol
*MCREADY HAD SKILLS. ALL PLAYERS OF THAT ERA HAD SKILLS. NOTICE THE MANY, MANY TIMES, KICK SHOTS WERE MADE. TODAY THOSE WOULD BE JUST JUMP THE CUE BALL. BUT KNOWING THE DIAMOND SYSTEM, REQUIRES MORE SKILL AND SMARTS, DOUBLE-SMARTS*

I hope Efren won to shut out the commentators. Keith was just lucky. Kudos to him though, he admitted it was not deliberate coz he said he didn’t know that shot

@@themarkl0813 another legend! I wish pool would go back to its glory days. It’s such an art that most ppl no nothing about. A true professionals game. My favorite matches to watch would be fats vs Mosconi.
Efren would’ve won if McCready wasn’t trash talking the whole time. If McCready doesn’t have an audience in front of him, he doesn’t play as well (proof: his match with Ralf Soquet).
McCready is vocal or trashtalk only when he's playing not when the opponent is playing,well I think it's acceptable....not always the legend can win..once in awhile they can lose also...🐐
You all seem to forget one thing: when Efren gets behind this way his mind goes into physics mode. He has mastered caroms, billiards, snooker, and one-pocket. He sees shot in a calculated screen.

I have always liked Reyes causal body movements as if his body too knows what is going on.
Wow! If everyone had Efren’s stroke. The GOAT!!!
Natayen ni Auntie piling Sagun d rabii cousin
I'm sorry wrong sent
McCready will never do what Efren can do consistently!!" Outmatched!!"🎱
He was one of the best money players back in the 80$
Rempe didn't realize that Efrens stroke would take him to GOAT Status in the world of pool and Billiards!!
Reyes wasn’t the goat 9 ball player , as a matter of fact I can name 2 players with better accolades . Efren lost a lot of finals us opens

As I was once told as a young man: it's not the tool, but the man behind the tool that makes all the difference. Efren always had that quality!
Judging by the sound of Mr. Reyes' cue, it was the famous 10 dollor cue he mentioned in an interview.
GOAT is good is not only really good it is greatful

Efren Reyes used a $10.00 cue from k-mart.
@@waynegroves6922doesn’t your tip mushroom from breaking though?
Calling Efren "my little man" at 45:32 was unnecessary, rude, and, unsportsmanlike. Makes me wonder just who the "little man" really is.
I don’t like shooting this ball left handed for your money
Efren is the GOAT.
The Earthquake is playing good! I'll give him that

Keith was another child phenom learned before tall enough to see level. Was gambling while still small so talked smack and had security. It stuck.
R.I.P Steve Mizerak
In an interview Rayes said that was an Adams cue.
Efren is the best in the world.
McCready was no joke back then
the difference between the 2, 1 has humility...
The description states that the video was uploaded in 2020. When was the match?

But EKLENT KACI and ALBIN OUCHAN are exceptional Kickshot artists and also great Jumpshot artists.
I know some people are wondering what that repetitive dial-sound(key pad sound is)...well, no need to remind you of the past
Mccready also did a side angle draw so don’t say his is jormal
His stoke beat you Rempe 😂
Sad the ref cheated Efren to sway the match
I can't stand a loud mouth. Which is why people love Efren.
He's talking about a stroke that beat him lol....
OMG ARE PEOPLE REALLY THAT DUMB. YES. THE PLAYER WHO COMMENTATED ON THE STROKE DID NOT PLAY EFREN. PLUS EFREN LOST THIS MATCH TO MCCREADY.!!

McCREADY was sure enough a bit of a flake, but he was also a damn good player !
Maybe but his ego and mouth overpowered any talent he had.
The lippy one can't act, he was just playing himself in the color of money.
Skip until 3:54
@25:17 Efren says very bad curse words in Tagalog 😃
What words exactly
Rempe doesnt know what he's talking about.
Cocain... one hell of a drug😂
Kieth even said " it wasn't no foul."
So STUPID they don't show the YEAR of this tourney & game.
CANT BELIEVE REYES LOST ! THOUGH HE WAS THE BEST ! GREATEST OF ALL TIME WTF HAPPENED THERE ? OH WELL I WILL GO BACK AND WATCH RONNIE PLAY .
Incorrect foul called against him…one unlucky scratch. That’s how.
@@Poppyblockheadplus Keith got lucky & slopped the 9 in after being hooked on the 2. That’s 9 ball. Keith played well too tho
When they started tightening the pockets mccreedy fell off
Both are epic legends.

Love how this guy thinks he can judge efrens stroke lol 🤡
If anyone can criticize his stroke, it would be Jim rempe. Know your pool.

Who is mcgready?
