Best Black Players Of All Time
- Thread starter Walt Frazier
- Start date
He is a personal friend of mine as well as many mentioned on here!
Jackie is William Morton and got his nickname from being a outstanding baseball player in his day!
He won the first or second ever BCA individual championship! Google the information and local newspaper even wrote about it!
Bus driver is my mentor and very deserving of more credit than he gets! He has a gear and speed that places him very high on the list. Especially his one pocket and 8 ball. Top players didn't stand a chance!
He retired and does lessons now! Can't get any better than him to learn from. Especially in the Maryland, DC and Virginia area
Only reason I chimed in was, I thought that the nickname was causing some confusion. Some might have thought that the reference was to the baseball star and not William Morton local dc pool legend.

I broke even on two sets of 8 ball for $20 a set with Gabby in Houston back in the early late '80s...he was just about to set the hook in me when he let me see his speed a little on a very tough out, missing a pedestrian shot after slicing balls up the rail like butter and back/cut-banking like the balls had eyes. I pulled up and am not ashamed.
Murphy had a silky stroke. Just a real long pause.
Cisero's stroke looks more like it has a hitch than a pause! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IqA1LWgdwU
But ultimately a really smooth stroke and followthrough.

Your input was definitely needed and far better than about anybody else here coulda done.

Best black players?
We can ask who the best player is.
We can say the Americans can't beat the Europeans at the Mosconi Cup.
We can ask who the best Pinoy player is.
We can ask who the best Asian player is.
But, if we ask who the best black player is.............
I heard Corn Bread Red was good.

lmao!! :d :d :d :d
Hmm
Are you sure ? I posted on here that I heard that Al Jolson played real good, and
someone said he was white. I looked at a picture of him and a whole bunch of
guys on stage and they were all black. I think that guy in that prison movie Shortshank
Remission named Red was supposed to be Corn Bread Red and he was black.

Cornbread is a character, he did some commentary for accustats. He could definitely play some one hole too. And yeah he's white.
I believe the name of that movie was actually the Shawshark Redemption, made after a fairly recent straight-pool event that occurred involving an infamous 2-ball.
I saw Tademy square off with Tommy Baker 3 sets christmastime a year ago. Talk about a sight to behold, the guy has a swagger about him that is unreal, looks like he believes he can make a shot from anywhere on the table and do whatever he feels like with the cue ball, and then he backs it up!!!
This is Cornbread Red aka Billy Burge and Al Jolson
