I'm curious. Could you ask Keith what year he played David in Dallas??
You mean on the buzzer table? LOL.

This is quite possibly the best story I've heard about pool and without a doubt the best way to promote pool.
Doesn't virtually every pro on the planet do that?
No they don't.
The nitty ones....not naming names, but some charge $20 to play fans....

Sigel does this just for an autograph last I knew.
OK, tell me your story or are you sayin that my Interwebz sources aren't correct.

There was no trick table,I've already cleared that up.I also found out when they played in Dallas it was 1979,wright in the prime of Keiths unbeatable career,and Matlock still managed to get 24 games ahead of him in 5 hours.
How was/is he entertaining? All I see are the strange stroke, stance and mannerisms.It is simply undeniable that Keith was the most entertaining pro player to play the game...whatever game...for the better part of the last 4 decades! As has been mentioned, over and over, his skill at the table put him in a class by himself, that probably included only a few others. Putting Keith in the box today would be a huge draw, whenever and wherever it occurred...regardless of the outcome. Even if he never plays again (and I hope he does), Keith McCready will remain a true American pool legend in the hearts of almost everyone who loves pool...American or not! :thumbup:

I cant find any videos of Keith playing 10 ball or straight pool, just 9 ball and of the matches out there on youtube, none of them have any excellence in play. That might be because he is past his prime in those videos, but I think most pro`s today would run right through him.
I`m not trying to put the guy down, I just don`t see what the fuzz is about, apart from McCready having a role in The colour of money.
I dont know how old McCready is in the videos of him playing that`s on youtube and if that is way past his prime, did something change drastically? Many of the big names in the 80`s and 90`s still play pretty sporty today, look at Earl, Bustamante or Efren.
This should be good, lol.
