Efren Reyes

Willie Mosconi
Buddy Hall

who are yours?

I think I have 5 or 6 in my top 4.

Three guys I might put in there are Harold Worst, Steve Mizerak, and Nick Varner.

Really?? I am NOT saying that Fisher and Corr are not great players, but you think they can hang w/ your first four without any kind of spot?? I know that Karen has held her own pretty well on the Joss tour, but has Reyes ever played on the Joss tour? BTW, I am glad someone is mentioning the ladies.

I am getting really sick of these threads that are made for no other reason then to fawn over Reyes as the best player ever. If anyone mentions anyone else who qualifies then low and behold we get another whole god damn thread starting with the same "Reyes is the bestest ever!" bullshit all over again. How about just dropping the whole fucking debate after the 43rd piece of shit thread saying the exact same thing in different words? I should not have to wade through 10/20 of the threads on the first page asking the same "so really, Reyes is the best player ever right? Ignore that last thread and now answer on THIS one" "Oh and if you say anyone else I will just start ANOTHER thread"

Fuck off and die.

Sounds like Celtic is a pissed off white guy that doesn't have any stroke that constantly finds himself losing to Filipino players...

As a Filipino, I agree with what Celtic is saying. There is now three or four different threads with what is seemingly the same statement: Efren is the best. I'm sure it gets as old to some as the aiming threads do.

Greenleaf, Mosconi, Efren Reyes, Mike Sigel ... if I have to only pick 4.

I didn't see Greenleaf play, so I'm going purely on what I've read and the second-hand information that has been passed along through generations of pool players.

Just ignore the thread. Other people obviously still get entertained by these threads that's why they respond.
