Season 1 follows various past and present football players as they navigate life off the field. Leading the pack is Spencer, a retired superstar who is trying to find a foothold as a financial manager to current players. Within his inner circle are talented but volatile wide receiver Charles; a reluctantly retired lineman struggling to adjust to life after the game; and rookie sensation Vernon, who lands himself in hot financial water.
Season 2
In Season 2, things are more competitive and complicated than ever. Retired football star turned financial manager Spencer is forced to face demons from his past as he goes head-to-head with the biggest shark in the business, Andre Allen. Meanwhile, Spencer's closest friends and clients struggle to find their footing in a world where it's “go big” or go home.
Season 3
New City. Same Hustle. Back for their third season, Spencer Strassmore and the rest of the 'Ballers’ are ready to bring the heat beyond Miami.
Season 4
Spencer and Joe take their skills to Los Angeles as they look to expand their roster and horizons in the world of action sports.
Season 5
The final season finds Spencer settling into retirement and reflecting on his past, when an offer that's too good to refuse comes his way and sends him back into the lion's den, this time as a team owner. In the wake of his split with Spencer, an ambitious Joe gambles aggressively to make Sports X greater than ever with the help of his new partner, Lance.

User Reviews
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.
