Ball Knowledge

Ball Knowledge, a sentence often used in comment sections of soccer and/or basketball edits on TikTok. The phrase "High Ball Knowledge Required" "Peak Ball Knowledge Required" or even "W Ball Knowledge" is commonly used when the viewer agrees that who ever is in the edit is as tough and as great as the edits make it to be, causing the viewer to tell the creator that he knows ball.
Dude Kyle said that he personally believes that Lebron James is the greatest of all time due to the fact that he dominates every match that he plays.

Which in my opinion, you need a specific amount of ball knowledge to understand.

Elite Ball Knowledge

An affirmation for when a joking reference is made to something of only moderate popularity, and only when it is presented to a group that was not predictably of the same fan demographic as the reference itself. Does not apply if the thing being referenced has since fallen into obscurity due to overuse or otherwise becoming unpopular.
"The cake is a lie" stopped being Elite Ball Knowledge after 5 seconds

"Kilroy was here" was Elite Ball Knowledge only among civilians, but lost that status after WW2 shooters got popular and made reference to it
