Oklahoma City Thunder v Miami Heat ? Game Five

Miami Heat point guard Mario Chalmers thinks he's one of the five best point guards in the NBA, according to his interview with Peter Emerick of BleacherReport.com:

"I'd say that I [Mario Chalmers] am in the front end of the top 10."

Chalmers is less than three months removed from playing some of the best basketball of his NBA career since being selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the 2008 Draft.

In June, he helped lead the Miami Heat to an NBA title, scoring 10 points and dishing seven assists in the decisive Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. On the season, he was averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 assists and 2.2 turnovers in 28.5 minutes per game.
