This proves Earl strickland not only got "Owned" during the Game but also "After" the game. 😁😎 earl, doesn't have any idea how street smart Filipinos are 😊
it's always pleasant and relaxing to watch efran play, because he is a happy, hard working person, who doesn't get upset, or allow himself to be negative imv
8:02 - At least Earl "The Squirrel" is HONEST. "He's just a better human, a better person, he's just a better player, and I'm a villan." Yes, yes, yes and YES!
Oh my goodness.......perfect way to put....."Not even on his radar"......Take that Earl, your working very hard to not be remembered when your time comes.
Playing pool since 8....he wasnt munching on kfc or mcd so definitely he was the better man...better winner...better sportsman than u Earl. These guys cant even take a loss specially when its from Asia.
In my high school years in Manila, early 70s, he was already a legend. I did not see him play but I've heard the Bata nickname beating all the pool sharks. He Ain't no lucky. He is one of a kind and Philippines may never produce a pool player like him.
Earl:"Hey!you're pretty lucky!" Efren:"Yeah.hehe!!how can you win if you don't make a ball?" This is the most 100% savage thing I've ever heard from Idol Efren.face to face against Earl.😎
Efren's response was absolutely savage, its like slowly piercing your heart so slowly that you don't even know it is happening! What a response. Made Earl look dumb af! Efren's ball control is the best I have ever ever seen! And his ability to adapt to any table and run is unmatched!
8:02 - At least Earl "The Squirrel" is HONEST. "He's just a better human, a better person, he's just a better player, and I'm a villan." Yes, yes, yes and YES!
Maybe lucky sometime, but being a legend is not just being lucky, and being lose with Efren doesn’t mean you’re unlucky. But that’s because Efren is a legendary pool player. Accept defeat, like Efren did when he defeated by other players. Efren is a humble man, there’s no doubt about it.
@@MrPernell27 yes...so did Gary Player and Jack Niclaus a couple of decades before Roger! They were all super successful, because the work very hard at their game

Actually, that was 1st said by golfer Gary "The Black Knight" Player when he was once asked about his amazing bunker play. He said, It's about luck and skill. Though, the more I practice, the luckier I get."
Oh, Earl is a character... Like it or not, he gives color to pool sports that makes it more flavorful and interesting! Grumpy but hilarious with his remarks on the interview😂😀😃😂
Earl was just role playing here in the interview to add to the character of pool, it’s just an act and he chose to play the villain, good on you earl, respect.
Earl is the John McEnroe of billiards. Much of it is an act. After his tennis career, it became apparent that McEnroe was a cool dude. I think Earl is too. He's able to fool many people with his grumpy act. Like McEnroe, he has a temper but there's much more to him than that.
Efren Reyes is simply the best and the greatest pool player, no question about it ..... I think Earl Strickland also agree, but he was many times too proud to admit it, or said otherwise just to boost his confidence. On several occasions Earl was admitted it, for example on his speech after the Efren Reyes Farewell games at Germany or he was celebrated and congratulated when Efren made the legendary Z shoot to beat him
Efren and earl in my opinion has the greatest rivalry on pool in the history of pool. They have great matches which are magical to see. And the farewell speech Earl gave to Efren on their last match is just beautiful to watch because throughout their journey, their rivalry, their differences, they will always respect and exalt one another as their greatest rival. For me they are the yin and yang of billiards.
That’s sad because Strickland is a great player which a crazy attitude that probably isn’t good for his game because a lot of it is mental. They are both awesome though
Obviously Efren Bata Reyes has the skill, the wit, and the unique strategy at play. When interviewed, he always says he's just lucky. A constant reply showing his natural humility despite his obvious stunning greatness!!!!! He has been soaring high like an eagle!!!!! God lifted him up because he is excellent yet so humble!!!!! I am a proud Kapampangan here!!!!!
Billiards has made it a science. His shots are fully calculated. He fully knows if he messed up. Plus Filipino cue players are creative ang well practiced.
Efren. Idol, karambolista, 70 na ko at batang sta cruz. Lagi kitanag pinanonood sa Lucky 13. Genius ka at magaling talaga. Walang kapantay. A legend the best of them all
I very much improved my pool game simply by paying close attention to Efren Reyes videos. I no longer hurry around the table and I do not scratch the cue ball so often as before. I do not dislike Earl (the pearl) Strickland. He's a good teacher of the game also.
Mr.reyes started at 8y.o. Americans are very vocal and competitive..mr reyes is pretty lucky to have multiple recognition.. That interview with earl was hilarious😁
The main question is, do things happen by chance? If they do, then one can speak of someone being lucky or unlucky. But if they do not happen by chance, then it is inappropriate to use those terms.
I feel like a long time ago...efren played some guy and that guy called efren “lucky “....and since then efren always says that after a match because it’s his way of jabbing the guy from long ago.
How funny was that reporters last remark as he walked away "good luck" I thought he was going to turn around and give her a roasting! What a character.
