Earl Monroe is an American former professional basketball player known for his flamboyant dribbling, passing and play-making. His nicknames include "Earl The Pearl", "Black Magic", and his Philadelphia nickname, "Black Jesus".
every one on every play ground practiced the spin move, Most people carry the ball doing it though. The Pearl got his shot off 2 inches off the ground amongst the trees. Soft as feathers his shots rolled around in the net. Monroe was so herky jerky you'd think no way is the ball coming out then whooosh. How did he do that? Players say the same about Mullins
master of the spin move. unstoppable. Magic Johnson's game had a big helping of Earl the Pearl in it, the way he could back someone down in the lane, put him in his hip pocket and then spin to the hoop for an easy layup.
the white dude in the middle shaking his head at 1:13. : that negros crazy.

Pearl was a playground player but he was still fundamental.

He was one of a kind. Shame players today do not try to emulate the pearl. Michael Jordan was Earl Monroe in the air.
