Ballpoint Peanemis
Inflections ballpoint peanemis (usually uncountable)
The very highest grade of excellence in a performance, work, or play — a stacking of superlatives ('ball,' a clutch three-pointer, peak, cinema, worthy of analysis) compressed into a single accolade; top-tier, masterful, analysis-worthy quality.
Of athletic play specifically: a moment so skilled it reads as scripted cinema demanding frame-by-frame breakdown.

ball pointer peak cinema analysis Ballpoint Peanemis
five-fold wombo chaining BALL + (THREE-)POINTER + PEAK + CINEMA + ANALYSIS. The basketball terms BALL and 3-POINTER fuse into BALLPOINT (as in a ballpoint pen), while PEAK, CINEMA, and ANALYSIS telescope into PEANEMIS — PE(ak) + (ci)NE(ma) + (a)N(alys)IS-style elision producing a deadpan near-homophone of 'pen' + the residue of the praise-terms.
