Danny Basavich v Mika Immonen at the Super Billiards Expo

[MrKinghuman]

I know danny is hard to watch sometimes, and he does take his time, but the guy was a genuine pool hustler and his style developed as a hustler and not a tournament player. on a money game put your money on danny against the greats. except efren

[geoff101001]

this danny guy is good but not like amazing i mean hes never won a major competition!

[sharkedbad11]

hey QuasarR1.. Ive read his book and seen him play at HardTiimes in Bellflower CA. He is a great pool player and does it for a living. What do you do for a living.........? And yes... he is a great person and and he has won big money...Playing a game which we all love or we wouldnt be watchin pool on YouTube.

[shroder1]

If i'm not mistaken, this is Danny's first competition since his heart attack... and he's playing Mika for crying out loud. BACK OFF!!

[QuasarR1]

I am reading this book - Running the table - that is about Danny and his friend's pool hustling days, and it builds him up so much. I thought, I would be seeing someone technically good , almost as good as a pro snooker player. But this is disappointing. His technique has a lot of flaws considering the book glorifies it so much, his shot making is not good at all. Either the author has no idea what he is talking about, or Danny conned the author too creating such a glorified image.1word- Letdown

[houstexman29]

try to shoot a shot for 5 minutes and you will find out you might be better than Danny... bad pool but hes a good person-- 

[greekstud21]

this is mikas best performance that i have seen, just shooting with soo much confidence and perfection while dominating the whole match congrats mika simply amazing...

[Jalkavaivainen]

this is so fucking interesting!

[MurderMafia]

You know what else is very annoying other then the shit talking. When the top ranked comment that you can't help but see is a spoiler -_-

[ochabge]

Danny is a great player, but he is frustrating to watch. If they were both motorcycles,

Mika would be a Jap bike: Tight, light, and fast. Danny would be a Harley. But, hey, if it works for him, great. He is a world-class player.

[barnestrever]

poor guy got taken to the cleaners but cant win them all even if you consider yourself a pro

[TheThief672]

Danny has always had the heart of a Lion. I remember him at Elite Billiards in Marlboro,NJ and he was always playing with the goal to be the best he can be. At his parents home in NJ he had a full size pool table and he would practice for hours every day. To this day he has been an inspiration to me. Mark Twain said it best.."Repetition is the mother of skill". Danny repeated not only technique but a winning attitude.

[nekhron09]

I couldn't even do 3:16 to 3:21..wtf lol

[stouter2386]

You think basavich cant play hah he would make you look like a 12yr old. ive seen him play in person the guys no joke. he put a 6 pack on a road player in detroit a few years ago had the guy scared out his fuckin mind and when he was done playing he stayed around and told stories from playing on the road, basavich is one hell of a nice guy. so fuck you haters

[bigkillapimp]

A lot of people are talking mad shit about a guy Basavich, who has beat some of the greatest players in the world. Do your research and don't think for a second he wouldn't take your cash. Everybody loses sets sometimes. That's just the way it goes. Basavich may look awkward,but this guy CAN play

[NAMTRIP]

Blubavich is so bad,I cant believe he calls him self a pro,Its sad,His friends need to tell him its time to seek a life elsewhere,He cant break his own rack,and cant run 10 balls without ball in hand,whats with all the head and body language?Someone get him a valium,or 5,seems like hes so worried what he looks like playing,that he loses focus on the game.

[lucabbbbb]

Mika Immonen is not from this planet.

[malminmertsi]

@lucabbbbb You are right. He's from Finland like myself

[nNorthWestern]

danny is all talk:)

[NAMTRIP]

@nNorthWestern Blubavich says hes so good,he cant get a money game anymore.

[jimsimpala]

I seen Basavich play in china. Guy took like 5 minutes to shoot and was twitching the whole time then finally shoots and does a stop shot

[KrisEuphoria]

@jimsimpala LOL

[jskeen23]

@jimsimpala The kid can play man don't be a hater I saw him put an eight pack on Corey. You haters are probably apa can't make 3 in row hacks.

[houstexman29]

@jskeen23 yeah 8 pack in 3 hours-- no kidding-- guys is good person but not good pool player-- if you cant see that then you may have to re-think pool- or try to play one that shoots shot for 5 minutes-- its the reason there is a shot clock now-- if you take a lot of time and ur a pro level - then you'll shoot good-- try it - 5 minutes per shot--if youre beter that apa players ur talking about

[johnnylawrence123456]

the Kid got Iced !!!!!

[fukengruven99]

copying van boenings break!

[jl61046]

That was some of the best shooting I have ever seen! Poor Danny hardly got out of his chair! lol.

[mapledumb]

[MrSandfoot]
