A person favoring flashiness over modesty.
Comes from "big baller" as in showing off your largess.
If a balla is a person of means, he wants the world to know about it. If he is not a person of means, he wants to fool the world into thinking he is.

Its like a "playa" only with the absence of a connotation of playing women, and the introduction of a connotation of being proficient at a ball-involved sport, usually basketball. It has evolved, similar to playa, to mean a popular, confident young person in certain youth societies.... the kind of societies that like to wear basketball jerseys that were apparently made for giants and jeans or sweatpants that were apparently made for the obese population, not the emaciated.

The Afrikaans word for balls/testicles. It can be used to refer to a persons balls, or to use it as a nickname for a person - either friend or foe - depends mostly on the tone you use it to indicate which one you mean.
Friendly: Hey ballas, how hell are you?!?!
Agressive: Hey ballas, MOVE!!!
OR
testicles: "My ballas is seer" TR=> "My balls hurt."
