Accu-Stats, can't thank you enough for these great matches. Outstanding contribution to the sport.
Thank you! Thank you!
GREAT vid. Thanks. I have dozens of old accu-stats VHS.
Thank you as always for sharing/uploading these entertaining classic matches & players!!
Glad you like them!
Thank you accu-stats. A fine match and great shooting by Keith McCready.
That shot where he was straight, and the way he made the ball move is unbelievable
One of the best shots I've ever seen. Couldn't believe it and not sure how he created the angle. When Keith was rolling....
I m very pleased to learn that Parica has pioneered the Pool players association & that he is publicized as the pool player that Efren Reyes emulated. Thanks, & keep up the good work.God bless you! Mabuhay, Philippines!
Thank you Accu-stats!
My pleasure!
Thank God, finally a video without Danny slurring on the mic
Keith came into the pool hall injured one week he had crushed his finger with a hammer or something. He was playing the tournament and playing pretty well… he made a good out and then yells out to the crowd “here I am injured playin in the tournament most guys would be at home crying for a glass of milk”.
Idk if he used that line often but I always remembered it
it's a shame that it took Jose Parica many many years to get into the hall of fame.he is a great player and should have been in there a long time ago
Absolutely the way pool should be played!!! fast! notice the crowd? They were absolutely mesmerized by Keith! i think this style would have everybody watching pool!!! Its a nightmare baby!!! LOL;' CONGRATS KEITH!!!
..apparently Keith didn’t spend any of his vast winnings on dental work 😂
Coke head, crack head.
When you've got the talent the money and the women you don't need em.
"Don't choke now, It's not that hard of a shot" Keith McCready.
Gotta love the old school, no break cues for McCready. ✊
Ive been away from pool for about 7 years. I used to binge watch these kinds on videos. Thank you for posting these. I really hope to get back to the table.
You are so welcome!
heh, same for me.. I haven't been inside a pool hall in about 10 years.. I miss it, just not the crowds. Still love watching pool though. I bet I could still run a rack or two, just off muscle memory.. ;)
A nostalgic and pleasant return to the former generation of Pocket Billiards elites.
bruh became one of my favorite players instantly
People don't realize how good Keith was when he was rolling. Some of the shots here are amazing.
Fun to watch. Great interview w Keith at the end.
thanks for this one!!!!
My pleasure!
Always a pleasure to watch Keith play.
Great match, keep the uploads coming!
More to come!
Great match thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
On my short list of all-time favorites: Keith McCready.
The Earthquake has the shortest backstroke but he knows all the tracks, the master of inside english and banks. "How ya doing Effy?". .950, OMG
My two favorite players to watch are Keith and CJ.
38:35 my lord what a clean hit!
Seriously. He has a laser straight cue action. Which you wouldn't expect just looking at his technique.
@@jasonparker6138 genius. part of that genius is the setup and stroke though. if you set the tip on the right spot the stroke doesn't have to be very complicated.
Drago plays the same way.
just hit the spot you lined the tip up at.
A legend of great magnitude.
I thought that was Grady Seasons. Lol
Keith is certainly a crowd pleaser. His sidearm stroke is a bit unorthodox but it works well for him. I haven't seen or heard much about Jose Parica in recent years. Fun and entertaining match to watch. Thanks for uploading another treasured video.
Jose is still playing. Looking for action a race to 1000 for 100,000.00. Pretty impressive for a guy his age!
Old but GOLD
He uses that side arm action because when he was very young the tables were too tall for him.
That and he was very small and weak he could swing the cue harder like that and stuck with it.
p
AWESOME
What a difference from then to today. No silly shirts. Players having a smoke. McCready takes a pull off a beer.
Yup. Now we get robots sipping on fruit smoothies. Sucks
“Back in my day”
@@dmx9321 someday it will be back in your day.
*WHEN WE HAD FREEDOM!! WATCH THE 2003 MATCH MCREADY VS GRADY MATHEWS, ONE POCKET, KEITH HAS ABOUT 5-6 BEERS ON HIS TABLE. THE UPTIGHT COMMENTATORS KEPT TALKING ABOUT IT AND ZOOMING IN ON THE BEERS. THE LEFT RUIN EVERYTHING*
@@heginschristianstrong7707qqq
Great match , more McCready please
Incardona is wrong about the years. McCready was at his best about 1977 thru 1982. Earlier than he said and not very long. After that his lifestyle took its toll.
When are we going to get a match with Incardona playing?
Seen him play, got skills..
Always love watching Keith win I remember when he told everyone why he shoots with his wrist like that.. him and Jeannie living the good life in DC
Keith is amazing. love this video. he's so far beyond what most people can understand.
This is a man with a great beer buzz playing a sober guy.
Grady Season in Action.
Legend is back 😁😂
*@ACCU-STATS SO WHAT HAPPENED TO KEITH MCREADY IN THE FINALS? IS THE MATCH UPLOADED SOMEWHERE, COULD NOT FIND IT* _ALSO KEITHS INTERVIEW AT END SAYS IT IS 2004. YOUR TITLE SAYS 2003_
Jose Parica vs Simon Cowell
After winning a world tournament in Las Vegas, my very good friend Jimmy Fusco came back to Phila. and brought Billy Incardona with him, and they came to the pool room on Cottman ave for a $10 entry fee winner takes all. There were 100 entries so I went up to the sheet on the wall to see who I drew and it was Billy Incardona. It was a race to 9, I played him and beat him and who do you think had to play next: my very good friend Jimmy Fusco, he beat me 9-7 and said Ronnie I can't believe how great you are playing, he passed away and there will never be another like him-Ron Cerelli The Legend
Bit of a legend yourself there Ron! Thanks for the story..
I can watch Keith all day. Paricas slow play, is agonizing.
Idiot comments on here piss me off. I guarantee none of you ran a rack in your lives
I bet ur mader have nice crack 🎉
You're correct. Most are probably bar table warriors who couldn't list a great player other than Reyes. If they'd do their research, they'd understand that McCready was one of the greatest natural talents the game has ever seen.
Keith has come back from a major addiction. Props to him for beating it. The facial ticks he has gives it away.
You sure he still wasn't on that sniffy stuff
@@DarianG98 could be. Lol
He is truly a legend.. A legend in meth... :)
Beating it? Looks a little coked out to me🤦🏽♂️
please upload the final
This probably has to be one of the most painful times in Parica’s career
The reason he plays sidearm is because when he was a little kid he couldn't reach the the table so he sat a milk crate on the floor so he could reach the table and he still had to shoot side atm just to reach the table and it always stuck
So many haters here yet none of them would stand up and bet this man a quarter a game
I’ll do a quarter a game, lol. What’s a quarter... ? I do it just to say I did it. I been losing all my life, what’s one more time, lol
I’d definitely play him for a quarter a game. I wouldn’t expect to win, but I’m not a hater either. He’s definitely an interesting character though.
Know Keith from Hard Times in So Cal. People don't realize just how good Earthquake really is. Where are you Keith?
ive heard hes in DC
And the stagger inn he can talk some shit but his stick speaks pretty loud to
Respect to the leader of u. s invasion Amang parica.
Amang Parica opened the gate for filipino billiard players to invade US pool.
@@rogieramilo8574 sir saan na po si amang parica ngayon
For all the knockers, Keith wasn't a tournament player , he was a gambler, big difference in many aspects, . His personna was to make people want to beat him so bad , that they lost a lot more than they meant to trying.
The gambling life takes its toll on everybody, no exceptions.
And his stakehorse for many years Berle gabbard lives here in Knoxville TN talked to Keith the other day when he was talking to him he lives in DC now with his girlfriend jeannie ann sitting to his right I believe and is doing extremely well.used to watch him play a lot when I was much much younger never missed and was always a very cool person
so was parica, and a feared one too. and parica is almost ten years his senior. i think we all know what the difference is here, william
Yes but a great life when nine ball is at its finest hour
@@chriscripplercruz1833 I remember Berle, I haven't seen him for probably 30 years.
@@pechinma Glad to see some knowledgeable people. That way the game never dies
Everything says 2003 except Keith who says it’s 2004.
22:02 them teeth! 😂
When Bill says he knows Keith well, that's an understatement. Around 1990-91, they were both at a tournament in Memphis, Tn. McCready talked a local furniture store owner into backing him for $500/game against Bill playing banks. Keith hardly made 3 banks in any game and spent the entire time complaining about everything from the table to the lighting and the music being too loud. Bill wound up winning 4 games straight and the secret later came out that Keith agreed to dump and they'd split the money. It was something to watch.
Two brothers and a stranger.
They are kinkis idiots,pretending and stealing money to everyone.
Me and Kieth used to be roommates back in the 90s . We both lived in Berle Gabbards house in Knoxville Tn. I worked for Berle at Knoxville Billiard club and was hangin out in the pool room and took on anybody that would play him . We would play 6 ball on the snooker table with regular size balls. Played a lot of golf on the snooker table too. Anybody ever play golf on a snooker table ?
Golf on a snooker table! You bet. That was back in the 70's. Damn good betting game.
Good match.
Reyes came in and just took it all, only Strickland and Mike survived the onslaught
"the Dypsy doo", was an extreme force follow shot on Grady's tape. Incardona never watched that tape, wink. "The dypsy doo"
I bloody miss Mr. Matthews! A finer pool commentator there's none!
Keith is the Jim Carey of pool 😋
hey guys
Yes we do
Keiths body movement on his breaks look so slow and delayed 😂 but he does it so strong no idea how
29:52 lmao
LoL Does Billy realize that if any player is in the chair means he isn't shooting and can not win if not shooting 😂😂😂 I wish I could have thought of that win if the other person does shoot genius pure genius's.
I didn't know Simon Cowell can play pool.
hahahaha!
😂
Hahah 😂😂😂😂
I'll extremely enjoyed the match. Keith played really well. Thank you Accu-Stats.....
You are welcome!
He wouldn't have played well if it wasn't for meth. :)
@@evanb.4308, we all have demons.
Accu-stats should be embarrassed of this clown. Fucked up teeth that he keeps showing, bad complextion, fidgeting constantly. When drugs and booze is a part of your life from day one this is the end result.
@@AccuStats What were their ratings then?
The Dipsy-Doo!
38:47 McCready got instant respect. Monster shot
one of the best shots ive ever seen. incredible to create that angle and get position.
godbless us all amen🙏🏻❤😘
Nobody on Earth could beat Keith in the 80s, Fact, not for the cash, Nice comments by the way
Lmao it's lights out Kieth great shooting Kieth what's up?¿?😎😎😎
*MCREADY WAS 45-46 YEARS OLD IN 2003. BUT LOOKS OLDER. KEITH BANKS GREAT. WAY BETTER THAN ANY PLAYERS TODAY. WATCH KEITH PLAY ONE POCKET. HIS SIDE ARM, WE WILL NEVER SEE A PLAYER SHOOT LIKE THAT AGAIN. KEITH MCREADY IS A CLASS ACT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN TO THE BILLIARDS HALL OF FAME*
@ 38:40 an awesome power forward shot by McCready
One of the best runouts on vid. The cut prior also awesome.
First time knowing keith's personality. This is fun
The most fun ever. Amazing video out there where he runs over Effren and is hysterical.
LoL you better keep Kieth off the beer and on the Color of Money shooting. Love that Earl shot Billy was calling to the draw and Keith shot the follow 3 rails out of the corner via Earl the Peril Strickland rails around the world LMAO 🤣
When was that shot ?
@@davidmcvay5096 38:29
I watched McCready when he beat Efren Reyes in the 88 US open. He may be cocky but he backs up his mouth with his stick.
So amazing that 13 years ago Mccready got to so far in the US open.
just an average pool player not just the likes of strickland, archer,morris,rempe, etc to name a few...
I'm not much of a pool player, but i do love to watch pool matches. And somehow this McCready guy isn't as graceful as the others, but seems to be a good potter. 😂 That is a strange strange form
Parica has too many mistakes, I think he has passed his prime. McCready is still making some spectacular shots and lesser mistakes, deserves the win. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have to be so critical of a man who could. also exhausted. I loath the {age) comment.
Parking "whitie" in the middle of the table lol
Keith and W.C. Fields sportin' that gin blossom.
HA HA HA HA! AH
HA HA HA!
Jose Parica vs Simon Cowell..lol😂
I used to play Keith at Hard Times in So Cal. Fun guy. Definitely beatable. Lol
Is there anywhere that i could find the finals match at?
This was the year that Jeremy Jones played Jose Parica in the finals. That match has not been posted on our channel yet.
@@AccuStats i would love to see that match
what's the purpose of steel square around the table?
It was yet another dumb promoters idea. It helped the players NONE.
That feeling when you've got a lot to say and you know you shouldn't speak any of it.
What happened to McCready? Looked and acted like he'd spent the last few years living out of a shopping cart. Amazing how he could play so well with that chicken wing stroke of his and all the body movement during his shots.
He is really hard to watch. Imagine Ouschan or Shane against him. The game is on a different level now.
crack cocaine
@@georgesotiriou7051 When Keith would get on he'd run over anyone. Think that's pretty well known and understood at this point, at least by people who know and play pool. Shane and Albin are great. Would take Keith over them for the money and if it matted iin the same era. Not joking.
oh no, he has CLASS! just ask accustats. hahaha (i'm being sarcastic. he probably lives in a homeless shelter).
@@jgallagher1359 🙄
Earthquake, whole lotta shaken going on. Don't dog it, and you're a daisy to win. Shoot em in like they got eyes.
I used to own this match, I've seen it many times it's a fun one!
Same here. We used to have a hub where we would share the videos. All before CZcams was there
Does Billy ever get tired of being wrong?¿?😎
éven alex higgins cueed straighter then keith lollll amazing this
awesome watching the legend of old play pool. but i just notice from technical players like Parica, they tend to over think and that's why most of the time they missed out on positional plays or miss shots.
Keith, earl, mike.....love the vocal players who domt give a damn
@3:05 the fossils stop talking and pool begins
Keith is moving alot
He shot a 935 not too shabby for a guy that quit for many years
My favorite part of this tournament is Parica complaining about being slow played in the final By Jeremy Jones... Who put a 9 pack on Parica in the final.. lol..
Keith has a normal stroke when he shoots with his left.
WARNING: If you ever indulge in Meth your face will look exactly like Keith McCready's.
Go back!I mean Keith
I used to run into McCready in Huntington Beach CA in a little bar that had a ton of action. He was a hard core drug infested idiot then, and I always felt like he steal from his own mother. It's people like him that give pool players a bad name.
McCready looks like booze has been a big part of his life. Bad Complexion, bad teeth, and looks worn out. He isn’t that old here, idk, maybe I’m seeing something wrong. Good player though, I’ll give him that.
@@CarlCramer88 Majority meth users are a heavy drinker.
I didn’t know that, thanks. I never knew meth and booze went hand in hand. It definitely shows with him
now you know AMANG? efren is still the best player and HALL OF FAMER
Why...Just because he lost a game? You gotta be a moron!!!
There's a video out there of Reyes loosing from Keith McCready as well.
Amang is also a hall of famer, he was inducted 2014
