I missed the balling is living transformation, at one time balling here either meant having sex or injecting cocaine...oh wait

I think balling for playing basketball is pretty old slang too

Sure, Im just familiar with those two from maybe 20 years prior. When I first heard it used to refer to bball or athletics in general, first thing that came to my mind was cocaine use, injecting is pretty intense I hear. I knew a guy but never have have tried myself.
