"Le hablaba de amor al prójimo y me ponchó (pinchó) cien pelotas".
"She talked about love to others and at the same time she burst one hundred of my balls"
Geofg has the reason about the author's name of that line, Ricardo Arjona, although I am afraid that he isn't a basketball player.
It is, in particular, part of a song called "Jesús verbo no sustantivo", which isn't exactly a Christian song, and it is one of the oldest songs by Arjona, who is a widely famous author and singer in Latin America.
"Ponchar" is a kind of slang or mispronuciation in some parts of Central America, meaning the same as "pinchar".
Ok, I have found the text.
The meaning of love the projimo is to love your neighbour. I still think the cien pelotas are painful, as for the summary of religion, indeed!
De mi barrio la mas religiosa era doña Carlota
Hablaba de amor al projimo y me poncho cien pelotas
Desde niño fui aprendiendo que la religion no es mas que unmetodo
Con el titulo prohibido pensar que ya todo esta escrito
She used to talk about loving your neighbour and then would clip me around the ears.. ( that sort of thing).

Well, I've always thought that Arjona as a kid, was one of the average kids who played football at the street with his friends. Sometimes the ball can break a window or annoy somebody, so the lady would have been one of those people who can't bear this. For sure she would have taken away the kids balls or as he said, would have burst them. Very mean for a religious lady who love her peers?
The song has very deep words, which talk about people's hypocrisy toward God and religion, I invite you to listen to it. Caefuego, already gave the link.
Well, I hope it helps, see you guys.
Sorry Caefuego, I took my information from this link where it says "He was also "a talented basketball player, and he played for the team Leones de Marte. He also toured Central America as a member of the Selección de básquetbol de Guatemala; until recently he held the record for the most points scored in a single game by a Guatemalan player."
One translation of the lyric suggests, "she punctured one of my footballs". I'm beginning to think that the true translation should be close to "she punctured (all) my hundred pelotas (baseballs)" in the sense that she made his wonderful achievement (100 points in a game) seem meaningless.
You can contact Ricardo Arjona on Facebook it you subscribe. I'm too old to intrude on the famous.
.. she talked about love and then punched me in the nuts.?
This is a hesitant offering.
This may be somewhat hazy as my research was minimal. "Me poncho cien pelotas" appears to originate from a Guatemalan singer, one Ricardo Arjona who held the record for the most points (at a guess 100 although I can't find that reference) scored in a basketball game by a Guatemalan.
Sorry this doesn't help with translation but it may just provide a clue.
Mariana please help - this could be home territory for you.
PS I don't know if he sang as he scored.
la palabra ponchar no existe en castellano y según la Real Academia Española
