    Hendry and O'Sullivan have a chilled chinwag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJTnRNZtwcw

    One day, the Big 4 will gather together and reminisce about their legendary era too.

    The truth is, fanatics take all of it more seriously than the Big Three players themselves. I mean, they're all millionaires many times over(Federer is supposedly a billionaire.) They've succeeded in their jobs more than 99.99999% of the population
    succeeds in their jobs.

    It's only fanatics of each player who have no lives(no jobs, family, etc.) and who live vicariously through these players on a daily basis and who can't handle other players succeeding beyond their favorite players. It's really a very insane bubble these
    fanatics live in.

    At the end of the day, who cares which Big Three player achieves more? Just watch the players you like and that's it.

    "Gods of Snooker", in 3 parts, is a good documentary if you haven't already seen it. Think it may be the same guys that made the recent BBC documentary, "Gods of Tennis"

    Thanks, haven't seen it.
    But I've recently watched some old clips of Davis, White and a couple
    full matches from Alex. I find the latter quite exciting player to watch
    - can miss anything yet can also pull off incredible shots out of the
    blue. Alex is like a box of chocolates..

    Alex was really charismatic, a real showman. A tragic life :(

    Yup. A real character. Couple players at Hendry's channel talked about
    Alex. He wasn't only drinking beer during matches, but the good stuff...

    I can drink like two pints at best with snooker, then it's all downhill.
    With pool there's much bigger tolerance.

    Yes, those round corners and larger table. Are the balls also smaller?

    But I really preferred it to pool, way back when...
