Not even Michael Jordan is a universally accepted GOAT. Efren is.

there will never be another Efren Reyes the great Magician of Pool...his deep understanding of the game and his humble personality..

GOAT of Billiards. . . . . It would take century to see this kind of player again. .. or maybe NOT!

Greatest ever on and off the table. Humblest person!

THE LEGEND WHO KNEW EVERY MILLIMETER OF THE RACK .

I made that Z shot. Very impressive shot. He's the greatest teacher.

It's no coincidence that this golden heart has arguably the greatest talent.

8:58 best shot ever!i believe that no one ever taught of this shot and doing it in a professional game and killed it!

This guy was destined to be the GOAT , the LEGEND , the MAGICIAN , the MAESTRO , most of all well RESPECTED pool PLAYER in the history of pool

The greatest player of all time no doubt! Dead or alive!

its a mystery why no one ever have made an anime base on Efren's story yet ... i mean the hype is there and what a great sports anime it can be featuring all of his amazing magical shots

Gotta be proud to be a Filipino🇵🇭

I wished I got into pool earlier on because of this man. Nice vid, keep em coming!

Efren is the greatest stick of all time!!! Wonderful, courteous, and generous man.....he could play with a broomstick and beat 99% of the other players in the world. True champion!

Lucky to witness his legacy.

Z kick shot (Hill Hill Final Sands Regency 1995) was a legendary shot. 👏

85K views when I watched this Vid, and I'm already absolutely sure this will get hundreds of millions of views someday soon because of how good you've made it. Kudos!

Efren will always be my Pool Billard hero and my personal idol !!!

Only sports that is uncontested GOAT player of all time by the experts and co-players... hope he will be given more recognition while he is still alive...

Truth of the matter., efren showed his ways of playing pool not knowing that he taught the whole pool world., how to execute magically., every great shot of efren up to simplest shot was studied by them pool aspirant them that dream world class recognition.

It seems to me that Mano Efren got a brain that works like a radar and a scanner. He can strategize and simulate his shot on his head and the better part is his body can deliver those shots which for most people including me think as impossible shots. I know a little about this guy but I can tell that it was not an easy path on his way to stardom. The struggle is real. Success comes to those who persevere. Undoubtedly, he is the GOAT, an icon and an inspiration for all aspiring billiard players.

He is GOAT. I love watching him play, it’s unbelievable.

the most humble GOAT ive known.

"I'm just lucky.... I got lucky the more I practice." - Efren 'Bata'/'The Magician' Reyes

Thanks for the video. When I try to explain who Efren Reyes is to people who don't know him, I will refer to this video!

we are so lucky we live in this era and saw the GOAT of billiard 🐐😍

Excellent video , very well said. Truly Efren is a master of the Corome Billiards, I just realize there's a tagalog word " Karambola " which is exactly derive from Corome Balls which works in the same principle of the game. I remember hanging out in "Lucky 13 " Billiard Hall where Efren worked as a rack boy in his early days , Corome is such a popular pool game there . Lucky 13 is where all the hustlers play in Manila. If you will watch Efren games , truly there's a lot of shots that is like Corome billiards. Earl Strickland once said that he learned a lot from Efren especially in Safety and kick shots even admitted that Efren is the Best. Every pool commentator would mention a name who they saw as the greatest ever who played the game , it's only one name - Efren Reyes.........

Part 2..can't wait

You know what I think? There are pro players who can do a really good kick bank and safety shot. Filler Shaw Boening, they are all great player. But what makes Efren different? That humble little smile. That's what most current pros are lacking

ANG MATINDI DYAN BOSS FINALS YAN AT WINNER TAKE ALL!!!

Efren "The Magician" Reyes...THE greatest player to ever walk planet earth...BAR NONE!!!

First one... Efren is the best ever.😄😊

This is what you called the inevitable destiny proud of you sir even though the undoubtedly the GOAT of all time we never saw you boastful what a character should be praise tnx for the smile and laughs you given us every time you do unexpected magic in the history of pool many tnx sir efren

My all-time favorite pool player … I’m 68 yrs old and have played, and seen, a lot of players around the US. Reyes is a true anomaly in billiards.

No one can equal Efren Reyes. Pure genius in the art of pool and billiards.

Not only the greatest pool player of all time but the humblest and most modest to ever hold a cue stick.

Efren is the best player..Of all time

Now I know why Efrem is so good with kicking and banking. It's his Carine excellence. Youre right. He's not lucky, just brilliant. Watching from Melbourne Australia

Great compilation....really enjoyed it...

Reyes bata is a brilliant pool player,in my opinion the greatest pool player of all time.

Episode 2 and 3 are Private... how can we watch them?

Nada más que decir un genio único En este maravilloso deporte 🎱 mi ídolo y fuente inspiración y su humildad hace que su figura sea aún más grande (el mejor de los mejores) 👍

The GOAT of POOL! Why? Look at the way he strokes every shot. Its just different of how calm and relax that elbow and arms in the pre stroke and and towards delivery!

Walang katulad nag iisang magician ng bilyar kahit sa susunod na henerAsyon iisa lang Ang hari ng bilyar the legendary Efren bata Reyes....

the more i practice,the more lucky i've got humble saying of the GOAT..

After being accommodated on the table for a good night sleep, it only makes sense to have been given the secrets of an angles and be the best. GOAT

What a story!!

I am so happy to have seen the great Efren in my lifetime, it looked liked he was retiring a while ago, but he;s definitely not gone! Can't wait to see some more inspirational billiards magic from the greatest pool magician ever! One thing that needs to be said is - please don't insult Efren by saying he has a god given talent. No god bullshit, he just worked extremely hard and had an immense passion for this beautiful game, that's what got him to this level, no divine intervention, although it may seem like it!

Wow perfect narration👏👏👏 We love Efren😍😍😍

I love Efren. Absolutely the very best ever. After seeing some of the shots he has made, I'm beginning to think that, Like A Rock Star, Efren may have visited the "Crossroads" if you know what I mean!!!

The only player who calls & made shots that even the professional don't see it coming and feel silly for themselves. Efren is not "The Magician", he is The Wizard!

Very nice and looking forward to more.

I believe that Efren is the greatest pool player in the history of the game. Having said that, I also believe Efren is telling the truth when he says he got lucky, after winning a tournament. Why? Because Efren knows that pool, by its own nature, has a lot of luck involved in it. He has experienced many times when the rolls simply weren't going his way, and he won very few world class tournaments when the rolls were not going his way. But, he also knows that if one wins a tournament against the best players in the world, he had to get some rolls. That doesn't mean he had better rolls than who he beat...it just means that Efren is humble enough to admit that luck is virtually always a part of winning a world class tournament. Efren is just simply one of the ones who is truthful, and humble enough...to admit it!

The Force is strong with this one.... GOAT.

Ojalá algún día podamos ver este video traducido en español 😔

Agree with you.. He is Magician..

Amazing commentary! Thank you for sharing this!

god of pool without miracles. Only pure ingenuity. Efren Reyes is immortally the G.O.A.T! 🏆🏆🏆

Nice video. But I can say is that he didn’t lie, he is just humbling himself.because he knows being humble will bring him more blessings and battles to conquer.being boastful or cocky will ruin his skills even in other players or athletes crumble themselves by this. Also if you go in hustler players in money games..no one will say they are very good..haha.they will hide their full skills at first when the pot money isn’t big yet..they go all out when its pay time.i think you get it and others too.

Fantastic video, thank you! I've added to favourites

11:49 sit down son

The one and only...EBR of pool!👌

GOAT in Pool no doubt! 💪🏽

He’s not a man of luck... he is a god of pool.

15:08 the most beautiful picture captured in pool history

Nice video good xplanation

Nice review 👌

No other than efren the magician in the whole world.my idol efren bata reyes.

Well done!

Simply a GOAT!

Real LEGEND!

Never forget that Efren used ALIAS way back in the Philippines just to get an opponent. His name was known back then that nobody wants to play against him. That is why he flew to USA to try his luck. This GOAT right here is the most humble person you can ever find, always smile and take high risk shot just to make his fans happy.
