Mario Chalmers discusses his connection to LeBron James
LeBron James and former NBA point guard Mario Chalmers, who won two titles together in Miami, are excellent friends, according to Chalmers.
When Chalmers appeared on The OGs Show, he was questioned regarding the state of his relationship with James. Even after he previously said that “nobody fears” the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, he voiced his conviction that there is no hatred between them.
I occasionally send him a text. Talk about it, congrats, and everything. Chalmers stated, “He texts back occasionally, but not always.
“I don’t believe there is animosity between us. LeBron still received a lot of affection from me. He made the championship possible for me. One of my favorite teammates is that one. I have no grudges. I don’t mean any offense to him. Nothing.
LeBron James earned two NBA championships and two Finals MVP honors when he was a member of the Heat. In his championship years, he also won back-to-back regular-season MVP honors.
