CJ or The Scorpion?

dont know what heart is.

Heart is the ability to play to your best regardless of the score or situation.
Coming to the table down 6-0 going to 7 And winning 7-6 takes heart. Dan Louie demonstrated Heart in doing that in the finals.

it was always called dogging it if your game fell apart because of the money or score or whatever.

dan was one of the best at staying and playing hard to the end.

david howard and busty have and had the best breaks in history. in my mind.

all gone as breaking is now no longer a power shot.

I have never heard of CJ not paying when he lost a gambling set.......Archer on the other hand......

My opinion from seeing many players over the years is this. Many many players had/have the talent to be at the top. Not all had the desire. They were satisfied with their level of play and didn't push the envelope.

It takes a lot of work and dedication. Just talent is not enough.
I don't know CJ but I have a feeling he had other interests along with pool. He did martial arts and I bet had other interests as well.
