Daniel "Danny" Basavich (born September 25, 1978) is an American professional pool player from New Jersey. He is fondly called "Kid Delicious" which he acquired after defeating a player nicknamed "Kid Vicious," and a spectator told him that his name should be "Kid Delicious" if the other player's name was "Kid Vicious".[1]
Professional Career
He made his television appearance in the 2005 WPA World Nine-ball Championship, beating Hsia Hui-kai in the preliminary stages. He made another appearance at the 2005 Skins Billiards Championship. He nearly won that tournament, but Santos Sambajon defeated him after winning the lag for last part of the sudden-death game and running out from the break.
Basavich was a notorious road player who hustled pool games across the country, but later decided to compete professionally in tournaments because he has become too well known.[2]
In 2004, Basavich was named "Rookie of the Year" by the United Pool Players Association for his stellar performance when he consistently rose to the top of the tournament charts throughout his first year as a member of the governing body of professional pool in the United States. [3]
In 2005, Lions Gate entered into negotiations for a feature film to be loosely based on the life of Danny Basavich.[4][5] In November 2005, Basavich defeated Corey Deuel as the Glass City Open in Toledo, Ohio, in a televised match where he broke and ran six racks of nine-ball, resulting in a score of 10-2. He was defeated by Charlie Bryant in the finals.[6]
Sports Illustrated wrote an article about Basavich in its Super Bowl Edition entitled "The Amazing Adventures of Kid Delicious and Bristol Bob."[7]
In 2006 Basavich released the first of his new line of billiards tutorials, The Kid Delicious Advanced Clock System and Banking Secrets produced by Pooljax productions.<ref>Pooljax Productions, The Offical Kid Delicious Website,
