Former Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers created a lengthy conversation when he recently stated no NBA players fear LeBron James. 

The latest to weigh in was former player Tristan Thompson, who played against and teamed with James during his career. Thompson disagreed with Chalmers while speaking on an appearance on the Draymond Green podcast. 

Thompson said plenty feared James in the NBA, especially when he played with the Heat from 2010-14. 

“Miami LeBron is the most scariest LeBron we’ve ever seen in our life,” Thompson said. "… That was athleticism at a whole ‘nother level.”

Green also agreed with Thompson, who threw shade at Chalmers. 

"I personally know people that were scared of LeBron James," Green replied "... I know a bunch of people who were and are in fact terrified of LeBron James. I’ve seen it. At times I’ve had teammates that were terrified of LeBron James."
