What player, of all-time do you think made pool look the easiest?

Here's some great insights into where his head is at now. Even a little on where it's been. His journey, so to speak.
Ronnie opening up like this takes GOAT to another level. Anyone that has competed will find something in this that hits a cord. The left hand really parallel s myself (just a different scale 😉).

For the record: Oops save that for the end.
I have listened to this 3 times and pick up more each time. Well reinforce my opinions.
My opinion regarding Mosconi comes from the one time I watched his exhibition in Reno at the Sands in the mid to late '80s. It's easy to want to emulate what Grand Master puts on display. As long as that respect is kept in perspective.
Anyway I was disappointed in the interaction Mosconi had with a young person in a wheelchair, that had watched his exhibition and was thrilled to speak with him. The event had standard paper size pictures of Mosconi with a signature printed at the bottom. The young man asked him to sign his. Mosconi gave it back to him with, "It's already signed." Turned and walked away.
🤷‍♂️ And that's the truth.

What does this story have to do with, "What player, of all-time do you think made pool look the easiest?"

Don't forget about the washing out of your mouth with soap.
 
9 Ball would have to be Buddy period. His patterns and speed control made the game look so easy, like anyone could just run racks staying in line shot after shot. I remember on one Accu Stat tape, Billy I commenting as Buddy ran out again that this is how you want to play 9 Ball, but it isn't EASY! LOL. But he was just a joy to watch when he was on his game.
 
14.1 I did not get to see the old timers, and only saw the Miz when he was past his prime, but Sigel in '92 at the Roosevelt was amazing, and made it look easy. Thorsten in his prime made 14.1 look easy too

Oops I miss spoke 🤷‍♂️ My excuse is I just get excited when someone speaks to me. 😉 They let me out 3 days a week now! 👍 I ment to say, "Am I being suspicious or a fast idiot?" With my choice being option 3. Anything with a reverse face sit in it sounds good to me. Shrug 🤷‍♂️.
 
There are DOZENS of better players, But I was always impressed how Minnesota Fats would just walk up to a table and sink a 1-rail bank shot. He doesn't even get down on the shot, he just shoots. I had to say since you said, "of all time."
