Fred Agnir said:There is now three or four different threads with what is seemingly the same statement: Efren is the best.

He's on almost everyone's list here for a reason.
C'mon buddy, you can't be serious. I have the utmost respect for players like Mosconi and especially Lassiter who was from my hometown. Heck, Wimpy was my idol when i was a kid and I believe he was the best 9-ball player of his era, as was Mosconi at 14.1, but theres no denying efren's greatness. I know players that have played with Lassiter and Efren and while they'll tell you both players were awesome, they admit Efren was just on another level. And as far as track record, I mean the man is over 50 years old and he has been at the top of the money list for the past 5 years, the spots he hands out to great players is embarrassing, and his humility and class outweigh any other player I have ever known. These are the things that legends are made of. Do I think his star will fade? Never. That's like saying everyone will forget about Michael Jordan but always remember Wilt Chamberlain. Just my 2 centsCeltic said:Do this poll in 50 years and I would be willing to bet that Mosconi is considered to have been a better player then Reyes, Greenleaf and Sigel too. Time makes all the hype fade and what is left is legend and Reyes does not have the track record to stand the test of time.
Celtic said: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.

LowEnglish said:You fuck off, asshole. Stop bitching about these threads if you are are going to keep responding. Every single one of these threads you respond saying that Efren is overrated, you say the same thing every time. You're biased against Reyes, and you hate these threads because everyone votes that Reyes is the best. Somehow it offends you and you decide to bitch. Please stop the cycle of bitching, bitcher.

I saw a guy playing in a TV series in Australia who hit the OB instead of the CB, and hit it straight into a rail, nowhere near another ball, because he couldn't walk out of camera shot.drivermaker said:Enough is enough...this is pissing me off that you guys don't think enough of my game! Besides, Johnny Cash aimed like he played his guitar...by feel!
