Mario Chalmers says nobody is scared to play against LeBron James
But according to Mario Chalmers, the same cannot be said about LeBron. Chalmers played alongside LeBron in Miami and the two didn’t exactly get along. Here is what Chalmers recently said (via Playmaker): “Nobody fears Bron. Nobody’s like ‘[expletive] I gotta go play against Bron tonight.’ Nobody said that. I don’t know why. Because I seen people be scared when they actually lined up to him but they’re not scared thinking about that matchup, right? You hear anybody from that era talk about going against Jordan, there’s a fear. So when you have people that fear a player, then that’s telling you something different already. Like, Jordan is just that guy.”

Mario Chalmers played with LeBron James at the Miami Heat lifting two NBA titles.
The 2019 BCL winner agrees with Shaquille O’Neal that the legendary forward lacks a very important trait that made Michael Jordan special 😱

Austin Reaves and Dennis Schröder have been foul-drawing machines in March, with increased usage in LeBron’s absence, despite coming off the bench.
Reaves is attempting 6.6 per game in his 28 minutes (which would rank 16th in the NBA for the season), and Schröder 4.1 (55th). – 10:07 PM

“Memes aside, the guy is a d*ck. He competes every night. Winning and losing matters to him… He has a level of mental and physical toughness that I love. Those are the types of guys that LeBron James also loves.” JJ Redick has become one of the faces of player friendly media across the NBA and is sure to put a smile on Austin Reaves’ face with his latest analysis. Redick calls Reaves a “d**k” in the nicest way possible, essentially defining him as a player with tough intangibles. -via Clutch Points / March 21, 2023
Foot Locker announced the end of Eastbay last December after 43 years, thanking the company’s longtime fan base and marking the end of an era for shoe lovers. The parent company will focus on its existing Foot Locker and Champs Sports stores going forward. For the NBA’s sneaker king, to even “The King” himself, Eastbay was more than the Amazon marketplace of its time for the newest in athletic wear and sports jerseys. Its pages were a part of the fabric of sports culture for a generation.”Me and my friends growing up, we used to love getting those magazines,” Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said. “And [dreamed of] hopefully being a part of some of the sneakers that were in there [too]. It was always cool.” -via ESPN / March 20, 2023

Who has assisted James the most in his career? He played the most seasons with centers Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao (eight each), but they aren’t known for their passing. James twice played with the same point guard for four consecutive seasons, Eric Snow and Mario Chalmers, and they would be good guesses and both are near the top. He played with Kyrie Irving for three years, though James famously chided Irving at times for not passing enough. The answer is a star-encrusted one; it’s Dwyane Wade. -via ESPN / December 30, 2022
