It doesn't surprise me that reyes lives a simple life with no real luxuries ....and is always feeding family and friend. He is a true Legend of a man. ❤🎱👍
Efren Bata Reyes is a terribly humble and likeable sportsman and Filipinos are very proud of him. The number 1 sports hero in the Philippines, he goes around without bodyguards. He never thought of running for public office as most Filipino celebrities do, and gained the respect of his countrymen because he doesn’t pretend to know anything else but his favorite game for which he is famous for. Efren is happy with his honest money and adoring billiards fans. I hope he lives many more years to continue entertaining the world with his skill.
Take a look while you can, for they’ll be no other like him in this lifetime. Efren Bata Reyes will always be the greatest pool player of all time and he is a Filipino.
I love The Magician but he was getting lots Tournament play..........I barely seen Minnesota Fats miss a ball when you look at old footage and his angles and symmetry look on a table dwarfs Effren look him up ok tell me im wrong...............To cancel that guy out is a misdemeanour...Admittedly while Effren is a lovely guy and Fats not so much your missing a lot of facts here bro.
@@scotty193 Back in "Minnesota Fats's" day, the pockets were much larger. There's zero comparison to Reyes and Fats, other than the fact they both played pool.
@@coryCuc Hmmmmmmmm think you will find the the pockets sizes roughly the same.......does not matter anyway Fats was more Comp player rather than Tournament Player subtle difference..........Fats never had the luxury of Simonz cloth or Aramith Pool balls thats why he was the best.
The humanity of Efren Reyes and just the love of the game along with his ability....that is what makes him the GOAT. You can talk about Fats all you want.....being the greatest of all time doesn't just include your playing ability. Reyes wins more than he loses......both on the table and off the table.....
During the 80’s he used to play GI’s outside of Clark Air Base. I had the opportunity of playing him one time. I broke, and that was it for me. As he got famous he would do trick shots in bars outside the base. He is a very nice person!!!
Great memories , his son is my daughter co-worker as a nurse in Angeles ,Pampanga.And his dad say's just roaming around and play billard and chess in neighborhood.
He's a master like no other, not just his consistency which is amazing but his ability to make incredibly difficult shots, I started at 8 years old but only wish I had 1/4 of his magic, that nickname is well deserved
He just plays his heart out. If he wins he says he is just lucky and thanks God. If he loses congratulates the victor, never says a bad word, moves on to his next game. Mark of a true sportsman, a true champion. The best part win or lose he wins the hearts and admiration of the people watching and of his opponent. Simply put WOW!
He needs to be recognized. He is very humble. I never watch any of his game. But when I had the chance to watch one of his games I can't stop watching. I felt the excitement. My respect to you Mr Efren Reyes. Pls stay as you are. Don't get into politics and wants to aspire to become the president of the Philippines.
I can't describe the feeling of being elated as a Filipino with Efren'Bata" Reyes' achievements in the World Pool history.I also admire other selected people in sports,but,this legend brings the nature of being humble despite of his awesome track records.Not supposed to be clinging on billiards,but,became int'rested when it's all about him and his legacy.
One of the nicest guy you will ever meet. Have a chance to meet this guy years and years ago. Truly a humble man and i might add some of the best poker face in the game. If you think you got him in a snooker move thing again.. they need to build this guy a statue in his home town. So much respect.. now that he retired from the sports the sports will never be the same..
yeah, the kind of person that lifts up his community and the pool playing world - this is what grace actually looks like in practice: happy, harmless, and helpful, with great skills :)
I wish I could met him, he is a true Legend! I can see him as Billiards Greatest of all time. I will easily choose Efren bata Reyes over Pacquiao to represent the PH, he is not tainted by any corrupted people specially in politics.
Rayes is obviously a man with a good heart and puts his family's priorities way above money. Being modest like that is a good quality of a true person if humility...
I had a lot of nicknames in pinball that I used to play for money. I still think at age 4 and a half I was the best pinball player in the world. Even today at age 62 years 11 months I still have a worldwide challenge to anyone to play for money under the name Tommy Tutalidge.
I love and look up to him, for his simple ways though he's already a legend in the world of pool. Stay safe and healthy Tatay Efren 🙏💙 I wish I could meet him one day, before I exit this world.
Efren Reyes is my inspiration..I love his styles in playing..he is down to earth, very humble , compassionate and loving person..He is a respectable person! I hope to see more memorable tournaments where he stood up as the Magician ! Long live Efren Bata Reyes!

Efren is truly the 'magician' and he deserves everything! Many people who have earned such a huge prominence in their field, might become arrogant and haughty. Not Efren Reyes. Always humble, kind and considerate. He is truly the G.O.A.T. No one in my lifetime will ever top him!!!
It's great n all, but I think talent like this cannot be acquired. If it don't run in your blood, you ain't gonna be legendary and change the game as we know it. You can become really good. But not legendary. Hope the kid has some of the genes to become the next Efren 😸
I enjoy watching him playing with the greatest but I also enjoy his humbleness , He dont look arrogant , he is not a scandal in any presentation, To talk to him is like talking to a very good friend , Blessings to Efren Reyes.🙏
Him being the greatest pool player of all all time is just a by-product,what I see is a great example of a humble good natured beautifull man,thats what is his greatest talents.
Efren Reyes is so generous 70% of he earned was given to his poor relatives 40 % took advantage of him now he leaves like a regular pilipino....very nice human being .....
@@icared4338 he said 70% of the earning was given to relatives that mean that meant 70% was the percentage of the money ( 70$ out of 100$) and the 40% of his relatives took advantage of him (4 out of 10 people) you can't add them together that make you look dumb
The very fact that he went back to his home country to live and take care of his family, he became another Greatest in his endeavours. I deeply respect him and his sporting and non-sporting achievements. Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) in his own unique ways. ❤
What a class act he is! He is a great athlete and an amazing person. No ego despite all the accolades and accomplishments. Always has his feet secured to the ground. 👏 👏 👏
He achieve the same status as Micheal Jackson in music both are irreplaceable legend..Despite his success and fame he is definitely one of the most humble person in the world.May god bless him and his loved ones always.
This man is beautiful. What a giving, caring person taking his wealth and providing for all kinds of family members. That’s freakin beautiful off the charts. Bravo Efren👏👏👍👍

He is a awesome guy, live on Efron, you are the best.
