I got schooled by those ballers.

Movie in development, scheduled to come out in '08, featuring fucking Dave Chappelle, T.I., Katt Williams, and a bunch of other cool black guys. Look it up on Wikipedia for more info.
Ballers looks like it will be a ballin' movie. AHAhAHA, see what I did there? I used ballin' in adjective form, to describe a movie named Ballers. Man, that is rich.

A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally refered ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large.

A person that makes shit happen. Without additional context, "baller" typically is assumed to imply demonstrated ability in generating prodigious amounts of cash money, and/or a proficiency with creating frequent and mind-blowing sexual opportunities (note the non-gender specific reference, implying that ballers can be men or women, gay or straight -- it is a matter of perspective).
In modern usage, baller does not refer to sports ability -- although the term is likely to have originated with basketball. Still, the reference to "game" is important to the definition of a baller. A baller must have game. A mad baller must have mad game. (Here, game is referenced according to the current definition (which pretty can mean pretty much anything, but generally refers to business, social relationships, or desired activities in general).
