Greatest 9 Ball Player Dead/alive

[hemicudas]

I think Parica, Strickland, McCready, Hall, Archer. But probably the Best is Strickland.

For the cash, no one played better than Buddy Hall. Tournaments your list is good except you must add Sigel. I bet Sigel once playing Keith on the BIG table, Sigel would not play Keith on the bar box, and like is suppose to happen,,,,,, Keith drilled Sigel, For the cash.

Hello to all.

I would like to hear some of your opinions on who is/was the greatest 9 ball player to walk the Earth. If you have a different opinion for the greatest money player and the greatest tournament player please express those opinions as well. I have heard many opinions however I have never seen the greatest players ever match up and play. Usually it is a local player testing his skills against one of the champions. The results are usually the same. I am really interested to hear Keith's opinion but I would like to hear any stories that any of you might have to share.

I think, it is impossible to narrow down to just one player. That's just my opinion.

No 2nd money for the cash

It's hard to compare eras - very arguable
I can tell you who i DID watch in their prime
Buddy Hall was my favorite.

oldtimers - anybody who mentions Wimpy and doesn't mention Harold Worst is ignoring the one player that would make Luther Lassiter find
something else to do.I asked the Miz about him and he said it was all true.
HAROLD WORST should also be on any Alround Greats lists.He drilled them all at every game including 5x10 snooker.Also won world 3cushion champ.

modern players - if they bet their own cash i like the LION

..but it's so vague - the greatest golfer who ever lived might have been
a Scotsman from the 1800's - with a hickory shafted club he drove a feather-filled ball 360 yards - Tiger couldn't drive his suv that far.

Greatest 9 Ball player? Luther Lassiter, hands down.

sigel for me

i think sigel was the best 9 ball player, ever, myself. i never saw anybody with such amazing instinct. he was one of the only players, when put in a really tough spot, he'd blast something at times, luck something in, and win the game. what many people missed i thought, was that WAS the percentage shot. one of the only knocks i have on say efren's game, is he ALWAYS tries to execute something, like an intricate safety. hed never blast. i just think sigel's 9ball instincts were better, but that's not to say he executed the best. you could put buddy in this catagory as well, but dont hink he executed like sigel did in his heyday.
