Former Miami Heat Guard Mario Chalmers: "Nobody Fears LeBron"

Mario Chalmers gives his take on the LeBron James-Michael Jordan debate

Former Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers recently weighed in on the debate about the NBA's greatest player and took a subtle shot at LeBron James. 

Chalmers and James were teammates in Miami from 2010-14, winning two championships in four straight Finals appearances. He said Michael Jordan posed more fear than James. 

"Nobody fears `Bron," Chalmers said. "Nobody's like, `Damn, I gotta play against `Bron tonight. I don't know why. Because I seen people scared when they actually line up against him but they're not scared about that matchup."' 

Here's what Chalmers had to say about the difference between James and Jordan. 

"Do you hear anybody from that era talk about going against Jordan," Chalmers said. "There's a fear so you have people that fear a player, then that tells you something different already. Like Jordan is just that guy like everything was like, `I wanna be like Mike."'
