  • the white dude in the middle shaking his head at 1:13. : that negros crazy.

  • style and grace.

  • @mnacct during earl's time the spin move was not a fundamental move

  • 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

  • @1Delta yeah not just Magic though. Kobe, MJ, Nash all HAD to watch tape man the PEARL!!

  • 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.

    Earl the Pearl was really something.

  • black jesus!

  • 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.

  • nice move at 0:14 mins
