I remember the first time I watched this; I had with me a packet of Walkers Max Hot Chicken Wings flavor as the intro began. Pretty sure, I had can of Fosters as well! Anyway, back to the show, I actually enjoyed it. The intro itself was my favorite part of the show; it was really catchy, and it says a lot about it and what it's about! Dwayne Johnson at his A-game - superb performance! And Rob Corddry was fantastic in his comic performance. Ballers for me was a surprisingly entertaining show. My only critique was that it lasted five series, and it was getting really good. But the final episode of the final season did left with a fitting end - and that's why I chose to give this show a high rating.Read more
