What if the spin of electron or of any fundamental particle is same as ball/top spinning,is there will be any change in physics rule?

Spin of particles can be described as simple value, like +1\2 or -1\2 for electron.

In your case spin will have to be described as two angles.

Currently electrons, as they pass the magnetic field, are deflected one way for a specific amount, or another way, for the same amout of deflection. Depending if their spin is positive or negative.

In your case electrons would be deflected in some random direction, according to how their ball-spin axis is located. Not just two options, but a whole range of options.

That is not the case. So simple models of 'ball-spin' are thrown away because they dont predict the experiment.

I would say spin is just a bad name. It has nothing to do with physical object spinning. Differences are too great.
