I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea if I am not teaching someone how to shoot pool - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me and I will let you break!
Being humble and down to earth, the best advice for anyone! Yet we can see what a great champion and competitor he is in his last statement when he said he wants everyone to be better so he has more to play against!
wow, what a living legend he is!! There are some players in every sport who represents it. There will be new players who will breaks his records but when someone talk about pool/billiards they will mention Great Efren 'Bata' Reyes..
The legend of Efren Reyes will never die - he will be remembered and respected = the man who kept humble, generous in assessing others and sharing his wisdom about life and competition, the unschooled natural genius at angles and how to use them for his game, the champion who disciplined himself to keep his cool, his hands steady, and stay concentrated, the player who can visualize what can be done - the Man, the pool Magician!
There will never, never, never be another Efren "Bata" The Magician Reyes. I think, No one can surpass or equal his achievements in billiard pool history, a champion of over 100 tournaments from 1980s to 2023, Amazing! still humble and keeps playing in local provinces in the Philippines, continue to inspire us and young pool players. God Bless you Efren!
the Tagalog word harang in billiards means to hustle not block as translated in your captions. Hustle as in Hustler, pool Hustler, to not show your opponent your true skill level so you can get as much of his money.
Around 9 years ago I stumbled upon his legendary king of the hill 8 ball match against Siegel on Facebook. At the time, i didn't know that people played pool professionally. Watching him play got me interested in the sport, and the more I watched him, the more I learned about pool. Thank you, sir, for your inspiration. Your contribution to my favorite game will forever be in my memory🙏
Idol gifted ka.Gid loves you so much,Kasi mabait ka.Your the Greatest of all time.Your the one and onely the best of the very best.Peoples Champ forever!God bless you more.👍👍❤️❤️❤️😊🎄
Nong 13 years old ako nandito na ako sa toronto canada. Mahilig pa naman ako manood ng sports. First time kong makakakita ng pilipino nasa tv. At itoy nasa sports centre channell 22 sa Rogers. Tuwang tuwa ako nakakita ako ng pilipino sa sports at ito ay si efren. Tapos si alex pangalinan nakabarkada ko din nong araw. Naglalaro sialex sa dufferin billiards. Napakabilis ng panahon
The Olympics denied the Philippines a gold medal. It could have changed the lives of these players especially nowadays that medalists are given so much rewards both financially and in kind
18:47 Grand Pa Efren we now have 3 golds in Olympics it was suppose to be 4 if Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco was not cheated in the final in his weight class back in the mid 90's. 2 Golds in Gymnastics won by Carlos Yulo recently this Paris Olympics 2024 and 1 in Weight Lifting won by Heidelyn Diaz back in 2020! Saddly we was cheated again in boxing in the semi-finals that one of our women, the judges wrongly scored again favouring the French opponent to win because it was held in France. She could have gotten in the Finals if the judges just scored it correctly because our Filipina Boxer scored a knock down and that should have been her ticket cruising to the finals in boxing possibly the Philippines to win 4 golds in the Olympics.
Bigyan ng Statue si Efren, deserve nya yan. The GOAT of ASIA. Kung gusto mo magpromote ng billiard mapa anong bansa sa ASIA, imbitado nila si Efren kasi sya ang mukha ng Billiard. Yan ang impact ni Efren pagdating sa billiard kaya sya ginawang Ambassador.
We all know Efren can’t see. But his backers want him to play. When Efren wears glasses, it means he wants to be able to quit then- it will be time. He wanted to quit long ago- but he gives back, gets live & $.
sabi nga ni BATA,from 1991-1995 play test para sa Olympic....sila ang defending champion...kaya inabandona na ang usaping Billiards sa Olympics...both EU and US agreed they have no chance...team compose of Dodong Andan,Boy Samson Luat,Efren Bata Reyes,Django Bustamante and Jose Amang Parica
"Nang haharang" or "harang" means hustling in English. Usually it means preying on "lower-class" players by intentionally playing badly at first and eventually playing seriously once the stakes are high.
Kasalanan nyo pala mang Efren kung bakit wala sa olympic ang bilyar. Sana pala nagpatalo na lang kayo sa mga test games tapos sa opympics ninyo dinurog yung mga kalaban nyo. Mali pala ang diskarte nyo. Kung meron kayong dapat na pinagsisisihan, ito na yun. Dapat nagpatalo na lang muna kayo. (Hehehe joke lang)

Napakahumble ni GOAT Efren Bata Reyes Wala akong napanood na laban niya na nagyabang kahit kunti manlang. Pinapasaya niyapa manonood.
Saka hindi sya nagbubuhat ng sariling banko nya sa mga interview nya..

Billiards Greatest Of All Time!!! The world bows to you Sir. Efren!
I played him in Houston Texas in 1993. Best of 5 in 9 ball. I obviously lost. Also played Rodolfo Luat. Another loss. Enjoyed it though!
Efren will be 70 years young on August 26, 2024. Happy birthday to a living legend. You have given so much pleasure to us mere mortals. ❤❤

Efren Bata Reyes the Humble & Best Player. Good Health & God bless.😊🎉
Blocking should be translated to hustling. More please!
The word “harang” is a billiard’s term in the Philippines when hustling. Don’t take the word too literal.

@@dormamo6917 precisely and Efren just said why.
The GOAT💯
Salute to you idol
Wow, great video
PLEASE LOWER THE VOLUME OF THE BACKGROUND MUSIC. THANK YOU!
this guy is the main reason why the olympic did not consider the pool/billiard in the olympics.

It was hidilyn diaz who won the first official gold. He was talking of a time when we still had none.
Sana ibigay na kay efren ang National Artist award
Bigyan ng Statue si Efren, deserve nya yan. The GOAT of ASIA. Kung gusto mo magpromote ng billiard mapa anong bansa sa ASIA, imbitado nila si Efren kasi sya ang mukha ng Billiard. Yan ang impact ni Efren pagdating sa billiard kaya sya ginawang Ambassador.
Thank you for a great video Efren and wish you many good years!

Efren "Bata" Reyes is the Greatest Pool Player of all TIME
We all know Efren can’t see. But his backers want him to play. When Efren wears glasses, it means he wants to be able to quit then- it will be time. He wanted to quit long ago- but he gives back, gets live & $.
I think hes got LASIK procedure done
Done subscribe idol
Background music pls remove
Sana alisin na lang background music.
nakakalongkot.. nagbigay cia ng karangalan sa ating bansa wla masyado binigay ang gobyerno hndi gaya ni carlos yulo😢
Kaya nga po, kung sa ibang bansa sya kagaya na sya ni Michael Jordan
Music could shut up and it'd be great.
Break dancing nga nasa Olympics... Ewan ko kung bakit walang billiards
sabi nga ni BATA,from 1991-1995 play test para sa Olympic....sila ang defending champion...kaya inabandona na ang usaping Billiards sa Olympics...both EU and US agreed they have no chance...team compose of Dodong Andan,Boy Samson Luat,Efren Bata Reyes,Django Bustamante and Jose Amang Parica
Grabe tlga no unfair mga taga eu at us dapat favor lagi sa knila yong mga sports.@@eonsvenfaustino9721
if pool was "one piece"...he is garp
Many of the good players of today copied the blueprint from Efren.
ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC
True
So basically, he is the 1st smurf in a tournament.😅
"Nang haharang" or "harang" means hustling in English. Usually it means preying on "lower-class" players by intentionally playing badly at first and eventually playing seriously once the stakes are high.
mag research ka muna totoy
Hustling yun bossing. Iba ang sharking. Sharking is yung nang iilang nang kalaban para sumablay.
@@PinoyMemes-kw3uq thanks for correcting po
Kasalanan nyo pala mang Efren kung bakit wala sa olympic ang bilyar.
Sana pala nagpatalo na lang kayo sa mga test games tapos sa opympics ninyo dinurog yung mga kalaban nyo. Mali pala ang diskarte nyo.
Kung meron kayong dapat na pinagsisisihan, ito na yun. Dapat nagpatalo na lang muna kayo. (Hehehe joke lang)
