Hey all. So I'm working on a huge upcoming project that I'll be unveiling soon that features the 16 Masters of Cue Sports that have ever lived.
I am mostly interested in the PROs, not so much the hustlers (I will be doing a series on those later). Also, I am taking all things considered - not just their winning ability (which is most important) - but also their personality, charisma, and maybe how they changed the game for the better. I know there aren't many Filipinos here, but I am thinking more big picture, since many of the late greats were around before the Filipino invasion in the 70s and 80s.
Here are my picks; I watch a lot of pool and have seen many of the legends, but my picks may differ from those who truly know the pros better than me. If you have a suggestion, list it, and I may replace my picks with what some of you think (these are in no particular order).
1. Earl Strickland
2. Efren Reyes
3. Shane van Boening
4. Willie Mosconi
5. Luther Lassiter
6. Irving Crane
7. Alex Pagulayan
8. Johnny Archer
9. Buddy Hall
10. Nick Varner
11. Mike Sigel
12. Steve Mizerak
13. Thorsten Hohmann
14. Francisco Bustamante
15. Sang Lee
16. Ronnie O'Sullivan
