plumber

Any member of any team in the National Basketball Association who is lacking the requisite athleticism one might usually expect from a hoopster who is earning a salary that could feed a third-world nation. The term is derived from the NBA's "plumber's era" (1988-1995) when expansion teams diluted the talent pool in such a manner that fans would complain that perhaps these ballers were not pulled from blueblood college programs or elite overseas leagues, but rather the owners were attempting to pass-off (no pun intended) members of a blue-collar profession such as plumbing as actual star performers.

You can't blame LeBron James for not winning more rings than Michael Jordan, he always had to carry a team full of plumbers!

Plumba

A "Plumba" is the slang term for Plumbers when identifying each other, or the slightly less offensive slur for "Plumbers" with the "Hard R". Plumba is used in a brotherly tone between Plumbers, as being a plumber requires hard work with lots of upkeep, such as working in basements or sewers in order to make sure things are orderly.

It is advised not to say "Plumber" if you yourself are not a Plumber.

"Sup Plumba!"
"What'd you been doing?"
"Fixing sewer leakages!"
"Tight!"
