My internet dropped before I could drop this gif.

Now would've you preferred a vet actor like Omar Benson Miller who can resemble a retired ball player or an actual retired player with limited acting like Donovan Carter who plays Vernon?

is that shaun livingston in the white shirt

Season finale was cool, too many shows end on some sour "against the wall" shyt to keep you watching next season, it's a nice change of pace.

fukk drama, this is a comedy, just give me jokes and fukkery. This finale delivered on both

Exactly to both points!

I mean we finally get a show in a long time where the black folk end up happy and winning and cats are slightly disappointed or mad?

Damn can we really not have storybook endings in Hollywood?

I thought this was a solid season, Rock showed a lot, Denzel son is about to be a new star, and I'm pleasantly surprised at the black dude from Psych'd showing he can play a tough series character.... Cuz I'm so used to always seeing him cowardly and clowning (still at Sugar t*ts)

Great season finale.

Of course the same simple nikkas complaining from episode 1 still have to complain.


Vernon and the flamingos. Leave that breh alone, he is perfect for his role. I don't care what anybody says.


On a side note, this show has the best visuals (set locations? Cinematography?)

Miami The rich dude's house. :wowwow2:

I wish I was rich as fukk.

When Ricky comes with the fukkin camel to this song :usherlol:


Lowkey these british cacs really know how to make soulful sh!t :madiba:

The songs nice, but low-key its just this song redone. Can't nobody do soul like us *insert black power smilie*

 

[Cynic]

The songs nice, but low-key its just this song redone. Can't nobody do soul like us *insert black power smilie*

I like them both, on a sidenote british cacs "get it"

 

[marcuz]

ballers is the most comfortable 30 minute show out

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

Why didn't show Arielle Kebbel ass or t*ts?

This is going to sound gay but The Rock's ass looked CGIed.

You know what? You're right....you do sound gay.

 

[JetLife]

the soundtrack to this show was nothing short of amazing.

Every episode they hit us with one reference to a current song, one classic hip-hop throwback, and would throw in one indy/alternative/out-of-the-box-vibe track that was good enough to shazam, look up, and download.

Whoever Wahlberg's music director is that did Entourage/HowToMakeItInAmerica/Ballers needs to do more shows.

 

[The_Phonz]

good season. I appreciate the super happy go lucky ending, I will say the final two or three episodes were way more lighthearted than the middle 3-6 epsiodes. Just make sure to have more Reggie pissing Rock off and I'm good.
