Picking Brumback as the best bank player is insane and spits in the face of bankers like Bugs Rucker who taught John Brumback in Johns own words, Javanly Youngblood Washington, Eddie Taylor even. Brumback couldn't win nothing in Chicago same as Eddie Taylor when Youngblood busted him and his backers so bad they didn't want to play anymore. Same as Earl Strickland or any who go to Chicago, they just can't win in Brunswick Town.
 
Think for the best ever straight pool player I would have put Mosconi/Greenleaf as a pick them.
A lot of the old timers that saw Mosconi and Greenleaf in their prime's said Greenleaf was better, who knows now.

Agreed, not to mention Joey Spaeth and his son Gary, whom John used to go “donate” to after taking down some cash at 9 ball in other places. Frankly I don’t think he’s as good as another of Bugs protégés Piggy Banks either. Hell, I’d even put my money on Shannon Daulton against Brumback.
 
I think this is more AI crap. Their website has a list of advisors, none of whom I've ever heard of. I wonder if any of the "winners" paid to win. If none, I wonder how they are making money, and if they have generated other "best in the history of the universe" for other sports.
 
I assumed it was some sort of scam to get the "winners" to spend money on trophies, but I spoke to another winner and he assured me that he thought it was legit.

A couple of players have posted pics on Facebook of the trophies that they received. I am supposed to be getting one, but have not received it yet.

I can guarantee that no one reached out to me about paying to be chosen.

Respectfully, I think we all know what the top magazine is in the billiards world, and it ain't the Buzz.
