Ballers Season 2: 5 Ups & 4 Downs

3. Eddie George Steals The Season Finale

As brilliant as Dwayne Johnson has been throughout the season, the finale's MVP award might actually go to former NFL running back Eddie George, who seemingly played a version of himself who was stung by Spencer's infamous financial scheme years prior, and stood in the way of Spencer receiving his financial management approval.

George gives easily the best performance of any real football player who has cameoed on the show, though perhaps that shouldn't be surprising considering he performed on Broadway in Chicago earlier in the year to high acclaim.

George's big confrontation with Johnson in the finale is an absolute slam-dunk of a showdown, and sees both men clearly feeding off one another's energy. It's terrifically explosive.
