back in the day it was harder on the guards cuz there were no hand check fouls kobe would bitch if he played back then but then again he likes playin tough players some maybe he would be even better then he is now idk just dont just dont compare players from different eras the nba was different ever 10 yrs
Earl could use his great moves and skill to get anywhere on the court that he wanted to go, and pass, shoot and score from what seemed to be impossible angles.
Even with the great skills of today's top players, no one can match Earl Monroe.
Earl Monroe forgot more about basketball the Kobe Bryant would ever know. Kobe couldn't carry his jock strap. Kobe will never earn the nick name of the pearl never in his life if he plays a million years.
What an original. Wish I could've been in Baltimore ca. '69 or New York in '72 to see those moves firsthand. The game is simply better for having had The Pearl. Nice to still hear and see him from time to time; he seems to still enjoy talking the game he mastered so brilliantly.
I remember watching Earl the Pearl on live TV back in the early seventies - he was so smooth with his spinning jump shots. It seemed he could score from anywhere at will. That was in the days when players were interested in having more skills than just a slam dunk shot.
yea, im only 19 and the farthest i went with basketball was college ball freshman year (last year. The real scooniepenn is playing pro ball in Greece right now though.
I think of all the great players that have comprised the NBA over the last four decades. The "Pearl" was most the original and my personal favorite. Thank you for taking the time to put together this wonderful tribute.
@wherethecheese - you are one pathetic, sorry piece of shit. Earl Monroe could say more in one game than you will in your nothin' life, bitch.

Earl Monroe was the smoothest player ever.
