Mario Chalmers Hyped LeBron James With Interesting Method During Games

Former Miami Heat teammates Mario Chalmers and LeBron James didn't always see eye-to-eye, but they won two NBA championships together.

Chalmers refused to back down from James on multiple occasions, resulting in visible arguments and fights during games. The retired guard recently shared his method of firing up James on an episode of "The OGs' podcast with Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller.

"It was a moment, so the key matchup was him [LeBron James] and Paul George. Cool y'all got that..."So we get back to the bench, and I'm like, (expletive) we losing like all this (expletive) that we doing like we got to stop acting like (expletive) and just play (expletive) basketball," Chalmers said. "(Expletive) you the best player out here, stop being a (expletive) and go play, and he took offense to that."

Miller chimed in, "You did call him a (expletive)."

I didn't call him a (expletive), I said stop playing like a (expletive). We all know (expletive) is Bron's trigger word."Chalmers finished.

Chalmers spent eight seasons in Miami after being selected with the No. 34 pick in the 2008 NBA draft. He acted as a leader in their championship years alongside the Big Three of James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.

Statistically, Chalmers wasn't the most standout player, but he never failed to help his teammates play to the best of their abilities.
