Your Definition
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.
