HBO Ballers all seasons Official discussion thread

Underwhelmed by Charles and didn't get enough of the Vernon/Reggie dynamic in this ep, but you they do alright... you love to hate Reggie

Yeah, Vernon exists as a vehicle to create Reggie. You can argue that Reggie is a main character and Vernon Is an ancillary one.

And I like the conflict of Charles' character, I just don't find him nearly as compelling as Ricky or Spence.
 
Charles' old lady got his phone lojacked and he hasn't realized it. It's no magic how she found him. And next week, she telling Ricky's wife.
 
i love this fucking show

denzel has taught his son well...dude is owning every scene he is in. OWNING!!!
 
The show really should have been about Ricky and the Rock and his goofy boss. All the other characters are boring as hell and just seem like they are there to fill in time so the show can run 30 mins. Vernon seem slow as fuck and I'm still trying to figure out what is the purpose of Charles. Charles character would have been better if he was an ex playboy football player trying to clean up his act and be a good husband.

Agreed, Vernon character is dull as fuck, but necessary to give credence to Reggie's villainy.

Charles was supposed to be this beastly offensive lineman who retired prematurely and he just seems like a goof.
 
Who is Ricky's Daddy - to me that is the next question Jay Glazer should have asked - Number 81 - played in the league 9 years - so he wasnt a scrub -

Well maybe we will see next week and why hasn't Charles in this discovery period taken up the offer to get back in the game for Miami -

Like the show more each week.

Retirement wasn't his choice man, that's all his old lady. I bet she made him retire because she wants a family and isn't down to play suzie homemaker gig while he's traveling all season

Vernon is just... man, I dunno. He just needs to continue to sit down next to reggie and look stupid because all the best shit comes from reggie.

The do need to focus on Ricky more. Like someone said, that cat is a scene stealer.

Back to Charles' wife, mannnnnnnnnnnnnn! I know sistas are strong but she's beginning to be that annoying HATER. They had her in the park with her hating homegirl and she's just like "oh he's probably on Spencer's couch crying" and then next week she's snitching about the fun house :smh: I hate that they always have to write a role for the strong hating ass sista and she's always with a weak goofy nigga and that's exactly what Charles is
 
i love this fucking show

denzel has taught his son well...dude is owning every scene he is in. OWNING!!!

Damn, I didn't know Ricky part was played by Denzel son!! Anyway, I dig that show!! 30 mins isn't enough!!
 
denzel has taught his son well...dude is owning every scene he is in. OWNING!!!

absolutely - dude inherited some serious acting chops

my only issue w/ this show is how it's playing up the same tired stereotypes...was hoping for some more originality

still a decent show :cool:

Man, you could really see the pain and emotion in his face when he started talking about his dad.

It's crazy how he sounds so much like Denzel sometimes.

Denzel son definitely owns every scene he is in. very good cadence on his dialogue and hey Natural commanding presence. when he was talking about his father it was very passionate and there is a lot of Danville and him. talent definitely did not skip a generation

O.J. McDuffie??:lol:
 
LETS RECAP....


yup i came in here to write the same exact shit. its hard to develop these characters in 30 mins. plus i believe the first season only has 10 episodes. its going to be hard to capture a mass audience like this.

entourage did...

the half hour time limit is frustrating but ultimately it works for the show.... just as its getting good its over and you WILL come back next week..as long as they keep the bullshit to a minimum it should stay good.

1. youre a fag
2. its hard to build drama in 30 mins
3. youre a world class fag

1. go fuck your mother

2. it evidently did cuz clearly your dumbass is hooked

3. go fuck your father if you can find him

youre a 56 yr old fag with mom jokes

and fag im not hooked yet

yeah riiiight you probably eat bon bons and paint your toe nails watching the show you fuckin cunt muscle ..:rolleyes::rolleyes:


i love this fucking show

AS i SAID BEFORE...
1662973f-9f50-49e8-ad83-cf807a789dbf


there are a LOT of Denzelisms in him...I'd like to see those two do a movie together...:yes:
I wonder if his denzelisms are him consciously copying his father cuz he watched him act all of life or unconscious/natural...
 
I like charle's character...mostly because I'm predicting he'll work his way back into the league...he wants to sample that lifestyle he missed out on too so he'll probably be the character doing the raunchiest shit the more he hangs out w/ denzel son :lol: if he gets back in the league he'll probably be a client of rock's...his wife is cute but it was pitiful imo watching dude living that domesticated life
 
I know I wasn't the only one laughing when Charles dipped his hand in the pool and then shook it off real quick when Ricky said he must have busted 1000 nuts in it! Then wifey pushed him in the pool and the condom floated up on him and he was like "I'm in the love pool! It's all in my mouth!" LMAO!!!!
 
This show is dead on with the portrayal of athletes lives. Dudes be feeling invincible. That's why it's so important to have a smart team around them.
 
i love this fucking show

:eek::eek::eek: I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS DENZEL'S SON!!!!

He's killin' it on this show.

Easily one of the best show's on TV.
 
up to 450k and the meter's still ticking..:smh:
but if he knew the girl why not meet with her??

Nah I think it's down to $150 now.

Vernon said he wanted to use his new season advance to get square with Spence. So I think he paid Spence the $300k and Spence then paid the bill with that cash.

I don't get why, but :dunno:

Charles broad is lame for that fuck shit. Women in that world are so phony.
 
'm still trying to understand why Spencer continues to engage Vernon and Reggie. It can't just be for the money - surely, Vernon's not the only player getting paid (and really, he's dead broke, so I understand this even less). Vernon annoys me more than Reggie - he's just so...dumb.

I think Vernon is an elite defensive tackle, they mentioned him in the same realm as Gerald McCoy and JJ Watt, so if Spence gets 4% of every dollar he manages, he's looking at $3 million alone from Vernon's deal.

Reggie is essentially right; Spence is still using Vernon too.
 
I like how HBO shows a Dell desktop with a Mac screen...

Anywho, it'll be interesting to see what this Angela character REALLY wants and who she's working with.

All eyes still point to Reggie.
 
Anyone peep the Tee-shirt that the rock was wearing at the beginning of this weeks episode? Showing props to his dad, Soulman Rocky Johnson.
