God bless you. WORD LIFE. I'M A KNICKS FAN SINCE 1969. THANK YOU. RESPECT

He was a great player enjoyed watching him as a kid growing up keep up the good work and in real life I know he's doing well. I lived in North Jersey and I watched the New York Knicks games a lot. And I was happy when they won the championship. And he also played a big role in helping them win.

Great Great Icon, Player...and Better Person!

the love a son has for a mother

He is a class act!

Outstanding content.

That hurt of losing a mother never go away..but he one of my favorite Knicks him and clyde

What an incredible interview 😮😢❤❤

Man, I love The Pearl such a humble legend, truly one of the best of all time!

Earl no question was a great player and fun to watch. when he talks about his mom, I see an awesome and loving person. truly one of a kind !

A legend, one cool dude, Earl the Pearl, Black Jesus, the original Magic: whatever you call him, he was unique and one of the greatest. I remember him when he played for Winston Salem against Akron. And then he would come to Akron to visit Bullet teammate Gus Johnson, who was kind of a LeBron precursor. Mr. Monroe was an outstanding athlete and a good man.

Earl is a legend indeed one of my favorite Knicks no doubt and he loved his mother very touching i loved my mother the same way he did God bless him and Happy Birthday to the Pearl.

Great story and touching moment 😢remembering his “Ma.” I used the same title. 😊

Dear Pearl...you gave me so many memories...One of the 50 greatest...

I loved that Team😎

My all time favorite basketball player!!

I loved him joining us. I remember what an amazing moment to realize we had actually acquired Earl. Him and Frazier, what a backcourt

I watched Earl in my youth, he was a joy, but I have never heard the man speak, a great person. He made awkward looking plays magical. Those of you who watched him will know what I mean.

Incredible brother right there. I met Earl as a teenager and was extremely impressed by him and his intellect. He came to a community center in our area to speak to the youth and dropped this gem on us that I've never forgotten. He said that...(opportunity Knocks,but it has never been known to pick the lock)and it resonated with me almost instantaneously and I will never forget brother Earl for thst.

Earl Monroe was a bad, bad man. I'm a Sixers fan, but the Pearl is one of my favorite players of all time. Have a photo in my glove compartment of Monroe and a bunch of kids -- me included -- at a basketball camp. Damn, I would have loved to do the Monroe spin just once.

The best that ever did it THE PEARL

A beautiful person on a beautiful complimentary intellectual team they found the open man.

My dads fav! ❤️

One thing for sure is Earl didn't disappoint his Mom.

what a legend

I was at Carolina when Earl played at Winston Salem State. Went there several times to watch him. WHAT A PLAYER HE WAS.

R I P MA your son did just fine

Greatest one on one player, ever

What a touching part where he reflected on his Mother.Everybody loves their Mama!

Damn brought tears to my eyes b Hearing him talk about his mom

One of the greatest, enough said,words cannot describe his game and talent!!!

Earl is my All time NBA player,South Philly Christain Street Y,Maryann Anderson Court & gym,Mr.Baker League,Baltimore Bullets Knicks, Winston Salem,John Bartram High School. Philly's Alltime,HOF,Baller. We Love Brother!

I always liked Earl. Now I like him more.

Earl...Earl...Earl "The Pearl"...Earl...Earl......Best in the world!!

Fantastic interview!!!

When the Stilt gives you respect, you know your one of the best. Wilt is the GOAT imo and if u feel diff he has to at least be in your Top 5

Such a nice talk with Earl.

I was a Baltimore Bullets fan and was genuinely upset when Earl went to the New York. I remained a Bullets fan, but I continued to cheer The Pearl, even wearing a Knicks uniform.

god bless you

I was a big Lakers fan growing up. Disliked all the other teams, but, Earl the Pearl was one of my favorite basketball players during that time.

I am old enough to remember what a great player Earl the Pearl was offensively. Absolutely fantastic spin move. I am also impressed with him as a man. Giving credit to his Mother

Earl played low and slick with the ball.

Knick imortal

Wow! Great peice

I remember when the word hit the streets that the NY Knicks had acquired Earl "The Pearl" Monroe. We could not believe our ears!!!! It was like "Oh my God!!! This awesome!!! The Knick defense plus The Pearl raining down jump shots on the Knick's opponents!!!! We all thought we will win the NBA championship!!!! Lol!!!!

My favorite player back in the day. He was and still is the original showman. 👍🏾

That is deep. I had a similar experience with my father before he passed. A lot of times people know when the end is near. Life is so precious.

Great story about ma! I felt the pain all over again about losing my ma! It was almost the same script except I didn't win a championship! LOL!

SEEN HIM PLAY FOR KNICKS WAS AT MSG THE NIGHT THEY RETIRED HIS 15....PROVED WRITERS WRONG WAS GREAT TEAM PLAYER AND PLAYED GOOD DEFENSE ....THE PEARL

The REAL PEARL played for the Baltimore Bullets!!! New York got him because Clyde couldn't guard him & Clyde was tired of Pearl showing him up. At that time Walt "Clyde" Frazier was a defensive guru & Best defensive guard in the NBA. He had no ANSWERS FOR PEARL THO'!!!

He played for the Knicks when I loved them the most. I loved Earl the Pearl, maybe most of all.

Black Jesus. .He was smooth .

How I wish the Pearl could have seen the joy and excitement on faces of all the kids in my neighborhood when we first heard that the Pearl was going to play for our Knicks!!!!

1965 I am one of 2500 people packed into Rucker park in NYC for the, end of the summer, round robin tournament between summer league all star teams from Boston, Philly, Washington DC, and NYC. Leading the Philly team was Earl Monroe, and when entered the court everyone, in unison started a low chant of J-E-E-S-U-S , J-E-E-S-U-S and Earl did not disappoint dropping 43 points, using 360 degree spins from baseline to baseline. Philly needed every point because "Crazy" Joe Hamond, dropped 39. I think also on the NYC team was Herman "The Elevator Man" Knowles, and Jackie Jackson all Harlem playground legends. Games like that is what NYC BASKETBALL was all about.

🙏🙏🙏.

If you can't beat them, join them. Words KD lives by.

Earl the Pearl alway a Legend 👑we all copied that Spin move

The Pearl is the only player they liked and cheered for even when he was on the Bullets and shooting the lights out on the Knicks!!!! He would beat us with style and without a lot trash talking!!! He was loved by even the most devout Knick fans when he was still playing with Baltimore!!!!

wow...

Maravich was the greatest magician w/the ball, ever - this guy was the 2nd greatest - he was mesmerizing to watch! Earl & 'Pistol' were so far ahead of their time that we have yet to reach their time!

The Pearl has a really cool laugh!!!!! Lol!!!!

Earl "The Pearl" Monroe the Greatest Guard in NBA HISTORY!!! If he is second to anyone in the NBA, It is Oscar "The Big O" Robertson!!! I will match Earl with ANY GUARD IN ANY ERA!!! If you NEVER saw him play DON'T SAY SHYT!!!

I’m so sick of people saying Pete Maravich was the “innovator” of the flashy passes & showmanship in the NBA when this guy right here, The Pearl, played years before him. Hell, even Connie Hawkins played in the NBA before Maravich so knock it off with that “innovator” & “originator” _claim_ about Pete already. 🙄

Real fans know he was from South Philly, not North Philly. Sorry, the movie got it wrong.

Lol

The swift cardigan kinetically remove because jeff periodically occur plus a old-fashioned hat. acoustic, nauseating broccoli

Kay is so silly, with his, "doubt tinged" questions. what a childish ploy, for an interviewer.
