There's baller, and then there's bonafide baller. Someone who's so authentically true to their beliefs and their own unique vibe it puts them on a status above baller- a bonafide baller. Baller is thrown around like confetti. Who is the baller of all ballers? A bonafide baller. And no two bonafide ballers can be put in the same category.

"Tupac is baller, but so is Kanye with his Yeezys. Who is the baller of all ballers? Captain America- he really owns his shit past and present."
"So is that dude Ryan, he has such a true vibe and everything he does his intention."
"You're right. They're bonafide ballers in their own right."

'The goods.' 'The real deal.' No bullshit.'

This term is often used in, but is not restricted
to, legal endeavors. Because of its Latin origin,
the term's connotation is one of 'seriousness'.

The term mixes identity and credentials with
honesty and ability to get the job done to
create a highly favorable impression.

She walked into the room, forthwith handed

she had worked on for hours in anticipation
of this moment of expression/impression.
