The season where they triedThis show was better when it was about American football players. As the show progressed into the later seasons, and it become more about basically anything else, my enjoyment of watching it became less and less. The season where they tried to move a club to a different city basically came out of nowhere and started the downfall. They went from being strugling agents of players, to big money world shakers within seconds.

Especially weird as Spencer made such a big deal about a previous bad money deal which also affected some of his friends, and that he wouldn't put other's finances at risk again (as an agent). He does exactly that when trying to move the club to Vegas a season later....

The show gets worse in the last 2 seasons when the Sports X venture comes onto the scene, and the show becomes less and less about "Ballers".

The first 2 seasons are worth the watch, I'd almost advise to stop watching after the 2nd season end. But you will probably want to see more of some of the characters portrayed in the show, that you will keep on watching anyway despite the quality drop. The later seasons bring the overall score down though.… Expand

Was good at first, but last 2 seasons are complete trash. Typical racist propaganda. And calling Obama a dumbass was uncalled for.

You can tell by the uninspired writing that it came from the same minds as Entourage. Follow a celebrity in a world without consequence, having fans throw themselves at your feet and everyone and everything is flat, one-dimensional. It'sYou can tell by the uninspired writing that it came from the same minds as Entourage. Follow a celebrity in a world without consequence, having fans throw themselves at your feet and everyone and everything is flat, one-dimensional. It's pretty to look at and can hold your attention for 2-3 seasons, until you realize it lacked any cohesion or charm. Take a drink every time the Rock changes suits or laughs smugly, that way you'll likely black out and forget this weak excuse for entertainment before you realize how bland it is.… Expand
