Of all the top notch pool players out there, whom do you feel makes you enjoy watching and listening to them because of their jabber.
#1 Minnesota Fats
#2 NcCready

Billy

This guy on my team named Billy he talks s@#% every night, but he can back it up. So he is the most entertaining to me! LOL:cool:
 
I don't watch for the jabber

I watch for the playing skill, not the jabber. Many times the jabber is meant to distract and is inappropriate. Fats was like a stand up comedian that just happened to be playing pool, especially when on TV. When not on TV, he did it to mess with whom ever he was playing against. He was very good at messing with other players, but not very good as a player.
Ever since Efren Reyes hit the scene, he's been my favorite to watch. He says very little. He lets his cue do the talking. Apparently, his cue is fluent in many languages.

One of the best ever as far as entertaining, St Louis "Louie".
 
kid delicious is cool, but watching him play is like watching pandas at the zoo, no sudden movements:D
 
Liscotti was a riot to watch gamble.... if you were playing him in front of an crowd it was pure hell...

Marty Herman was pretty funny to watch get pissed off...Always brought a smile to my face...:D

McCready

There are'nt too many real entertaining players out there, its a lost art form...Basically how to entertain/ hustle players/railbirds and get the cash without making any enemys...in general it is a diversionary tactic...
 
I've always liked to watch Archer because he's not such a tight-a$$ that he won't discuss aspects of the game while you're shooting against him. I never figured out (other than it is is illegal in some tourneys) why two players, both who are friends, sit right next to each other in a match and act like the other one is their step-mother or something. Nothing said the whole match. I believe in staying focused, but criminy, that's going a little overboard IMO. I see the same thing in bowling matches.

Nothing can top a Jeanette Lee vs Vivian Villareal for entertaining jabber.
