The term baller was used to refer to street basketball players who managed to become professional basketball players and make a lot of money. But now, baller is termed for someone who came from the street and became rich. To be a true baller, you have to do more than just wear nice clothes. It's all about attitude. If you understand, you can become a baller in no time.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Act Like a Real Baller
Step 1. Don't be a champ
Don't act like a gangster. If you want to swear, learn from other people. Don't make up your own curses. If you do, you will be laughed at. It's better to stay quiet and watch how the people around you act rather than try to impress them. Real ballers will notice your behavior in seconds and they can kick you out of their social circle faster than you can when trying to imitate Crip Walk.
Step 2. Don't be arrogant or show off
Real ballers are grateful for what they have and don't waste time boasting, counting money, or talking about the money they waste. They understand more than that. They let their results and lifestyle speak for themselves and don't have to make others jealous or tired of their style. Be grateful for what you have and spend your money wisely, not by buying flashy ugly clothes to make you look rich.
Real ballers never mention the amount of their money. Their wealth is known to everyone
Step 3. Don't be too thirsty
Fake ballers are always trying to get drunk, talking about how drunk they are, or ordering too much alcohol for one – or ten – people to drink. You may think that this will make you look like a real baller, but actually, you look like you're trying too hard. Real ballers love to drink, but when they do, they act casual. Ordering an expensive bottle of vodka or rosé will look more classy and impressive than ordering five bottles and trying to finish them.
Real ballers know they don't have to be drunk to have fun
Step 4. Treat women like women
Fake ballers talk about how many women they're dating or how many women they're going to seduce at the club tonight. Real ballers are so self-confident that it's the women who come to them – and they don't have to talk about it. They have a natural confidence that women can see that they deserve to spend time together, and they don't have to talk about all the women they meet because they're too busy partying with her and treating her well.
Be a gentleman. Open doors for women, hang up their jackets, and let them walk in front of you. Disrespect for women is classy and uncool
Step 5. Avoid mentioning names
Real ballers act so cool that they don't have to flaunt about how they spent their weekends or the phone numbers of the people they have. Fake ballers feel the need to name a celebrity they see in the bathroom of a nightclub, even though they don't talk to each other. If you're a real baller, you probably have great connections that you don't need to talk about, because other people know that you're friends with the right people.
Saying names indicates a lack of self-confidence. If you believe in yourself, you don't need to mention the people you are friends with
Step 6. Don't try too hard
Real ballers don't need to prove themselves that they're cool. They don't talk louder than anyone else, aren't more arrogant than anyone else, and don't try to get two women chasing after them every five minutes because they know they already have what everyone wants. So sit back, relax and enjoy your life. If you're trying to prove yourself to others, then you're not a real baller, no matter how cool your lifestyle is or how big your wallet is.
Let other people do the talking. Speak up when you have something to say, but don't destroy yourself by trying to beat everyone
Step 7. Be confident naturally
A true baller is proud of himself and everyone knows that. They look into the eyes of their interlocutor when they speak. They smile. They are relaxed and positive and make others want to be around them. They take care of him so that they feel healthy. They love what they do, where they are, and who is around them. If you want to be a real baller, then you have to keep all these things in mind.
You cannot become confident overnight, although you may become successful overnight. It takes time to develop this confidence
Step 8. Earn respect
You don't earn respect by showing off your money in the eyes of others. You earn respect if you earn the money well, work hard, and show results, no matter what you do, from playing basketball to running your own business. What matters is that you do something worthy of respect and that you stay humble throughout the process. Never underestimate people because you think they are useless. Instead, try to help those below you and you will be more appreciated.
Everyone makes mistakes. If you make a big mistake, apologize and start again. You don't have to be perfect to be appreciated. Start over again
Step 9. Help people in need
Real ballers don't mind being at the top of the food chain. They recognize when others need help and they help them, whether financially, morally, or spiritually. They do what they can to make others happy because they know they are blessed and not everyone can be as lucky as they are. They help family, friends, or even people on the street because they know they can, and they are not selfish with their money.
A true baller is a philanthropist. And this doesn't mean paying for a bottle of booze for your thirsty close friend. Generosity is meant to help people who need help
Part 2 of 2: Dressing like a Baller
Step 1. Wear loose pants
You can use baggy basketball shorts or other baggy pants, and they'll look great as long as they're not sweatpants. Your pants should look relaxed and loose, and make sure they're clean too. Don't wear anything so loose that you sink into it. Use one that has enough leeway to make you look good..
You can decide to take the pants down or not. Some ballers think this style is out of date. They think it's better to keep the pants at the top by using a nice belt
Step 2. Layer your shirt
Wear one, two, or three shirts, like a white t-shirt inside a branded t-shirt. Make sure the shirts look good. If you layer 3 clothes, you can swap them after a few wears to keep you looking fresh. You don't have to show off your t-shirt brand. The quality of your t-shirt will speak for itself.
You can also use a stump sleeve t-shirt as one of your layers
Step 3. Get stylish
Wear jewelry such as necklaces, watches, earrings, or make your own dentures. If you can afford it, you can use a branded belt, such as Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, or Louis Vuitton. You can also use a dog collar or leash, but don't overdo it. The right gold watch makes a stronger statement than an exaggerated necklace.
Gold or silver jewelry will look good if they are of high quality
Step 4. Take care of your hair
Keep your hair short, or shape it with cornrows, or shape it into an afro. You can also comb your hair back to make it look good. Fauxhawk is also gaining popularity at this time. You can consider faded hairstyles. Look for looks that make you look good and don't be afraid to mix up styles if you feel bored. Ballers are people who can always surprise others with their ability to do something new and different.
Step 5. Wear good shoes
Wear any brand of shoes that looks good, especially basketball shoes. You can use these brands: Jordan, Penny Hardaway, Scottie Pippin, Kevin Garnette, Nike Foamposite and Flightposite. Black socks paired with these shoes will look great.
You can untie your shoelaces and tie them backwards, or find a new, different-colored shoelace
Step 6. Use the correct hat
Wear a New Era baseball cap and don't throw away the sticker without making the edges "straight." You can also use hats from Mitchell and Ness, American Needle, and Last Kings.
Step 7. Walk cool
Walk slowly, as if you know where you are going but are not in a hurry. Lift your head up, keep your hands by your sides, and look around you, not at the floor or your cell phone. Make people aware of your presence, and walk around as if you own the place and there will be seats waiting for you at every party. Have good posture, don't slouch so you look taller.
Step 8. Find the right car
If you have the money, use a good wheel too. Look for a good sound system for your car too. Don't show off your car. Let people see for themselves.
Step 9. Drive at the speed limit
Baller is never in a hurry to go anywhere. A true baller can even drive eight kilometers below the speed limit just because he can do it. Wear your seat belt and don't drive recklessly or risk your life because your life is too important for such a thing.
Step 10. Wear the right shorts
When wearing shorts, make sure they go past your knees. Wear Nike socks to show your athletic spirit. Don't wear socks that match your shoes too well or you'll look like a copycat.
Step 11. Look for a dashing suit
If you want to be a baller, you don't have to go out and show off your clothing brand. You should look for a suit that fits you from products like Hickey Freeman, Brioni, or Robert Talbott. For a relaxed fit, you can use products from Louis, Prada, YSL, and Dior Homme.
- Don't use something too gimmicky, like D&G or Sean John, or you'll look like someone who puts too much emphasis on branding.
- Keep in mind that your shirt and tie shouldn't match either.
