  • Thank you so much for this, Mr Parr. It's so beautiful I wanted to cry. And the music got right to the pith of what Earl meant to us all. He was funky and smooth. One of wonderful orginals, and a genius of the pre-above-the-rim era that started with Hawkins to Julius to MJ.

  • the spin move, the shake and bake, the fade away or the up and under. forget it. and always got just enough separation that most of his shots were from very low release points.

    simply incredible. when joined up with Clyde, that was one of the greatest guard tandems in history.

  • @tellthetruthg so true....young kids say that now players can dribble better but don't know players back then did n't allow to palm the ball and then made their dribble,something that nowday's players do all the time!imagine maravich if allow him to palm...oh my god,he would be unstoppable!oscar robertson,jo jo white,dave bing,baylor,greer...so many great ball-handlers

  • The Pearl was a man among boys. Earl & Clyde were one of the most dangerous duos to have ever walked on a court. Telepathic passing and selfless ball distribution! Where is that in today's NBA?

  • kobe plays very alike to this guy woah!!! this guy must have been a pearl for the game, I wish I lived these times in order to see him, he's phenomenal.

  • this is where kobe gets his game...

  • he should be in 2k12

  • @sgs1564 His knees were never bad.

  • The best thing was he didn't palm the ball dribbled with in the rules; kept his hands on top of the ball. If he played today with the lax way the dribbling rules are called good God, Monroe , Frazier , West, hell every player in the day couldn't have been stopped. Zeke, Magic, Bird the Doctor all dribbled legally even the ABA players didn't carry the ball the way it's allowed in todays NBA

  • Earl would be top 3 even today!
