TOP 10 PGs??? He's not even the point guard for his team. :lol

Been posted already.

My thoughts are, again, just go out and prove it now that you've said it.
You can count on Chalmers to try to be the best he can possibly be. He doesn't have the talent to be a top 10 PG, but he's a good role player and plays his ass off and isn't afraid of big moments. His cockiness serves him well. Besides what do you guys want him to say, people on here complain players aren't confident enough...

[ganja0710]

Rose
Paul
Rondo
D Will
Westbrook
Parker
Nash
Lawson
Lowry
Irving
Wall
Lin
Holiday
Teague
Conley

Thats 15. And he's not even close to the worst player on this list.

to be honest, he's probably up there as one of the bad starting point guards in the league. Hell, I even think Jennings and Jameer are better than him. :oldlol:

[Levity]

so all this time, poster hank was really mario chalmers. who knew??? :confusedshrug:

Nah, I don't mind the confidence... you have to be confident in this league. Just go out and do it, is all I have to say.

His style kinda of reminds me of this guy:

He shut down Lin, though:confusedshrug:

What did Teague do, put up like 12/4? Meh. I guess he has potential though, so he'll be better in the future most likely.

You're underrating Jennings, he's not a bad player.

And no Jameer Nelson is terrible, he's horrendous. Yes at one point he was much better than Chalmers, but he's declined to the point where he's become a pretty shit player.

[ganja0710]

Teague was always a better player than Chalmers. He was last year, will be next season. And you're right, that's why I hesitated putting Jameer on there. He's pretty bad.

But then again, I forgot to put guys like Rubio and Dragic. Possibly Calderon too.

He'd be reaaaally lucky to crack the top 20.

Dragic for sure. Rubio too, we'll see how he does recovering from injury. Calderon is shit.

Isaiah thomas too.

[RRR3]

Isaiah thomas too.
How on earth did this guy fall so far? What a steal he turned out to be :bowdown:

[ganja0710]

Oh and then there's Group Z of point guards who I probably consider better than Chalmers.

Chauncey Billups
DJ Augustin
George Hill
Mo Williams

So basically, he's one of the worst in the league. I think I might've named every teams starting PG or backup with the exception of Charlotte, Orlando, Dallas, Detroit, and New Orleans. :oldlol:

[Legends66NBA7]

Possibly Calderon too.

Nah... He's a good back up though.

Chalmers has torched him in the past.

[ganja0710]

Dragic for sure. Rubio too, we'll see how he does recovering from injury. Calderon is shit.
Nope dudes been hovering the 11ppg/9apg mark 4 of the past 5 seasons, regardless of playing for Toronto. Much rather have a dude that can give you 10/10 every now and then, than a spot up shooting PG who can't find his own shot if it weren't for LeBron and Wade. I know you're getting all defensive because he plays for your favorite team, but get your homer glasses off.

[UtahJazzFan88]

So the guy has confidence in himself, big deal?

[Legends66NBA7]

The more I think about it, Chalmers vs Calderon isn't a bad comparison.

Their shooting is a wash. Chalmers plays better D. Calderon's the better playmaker. Chalmers is better at attacking the rim. Probably still take Chalmers just as a more versatile option on both ends.

I will say that if Calderon was on a contender, he would be a big time player down the stretch. He isn't scared of the moment. His defense isn't perfect, but it has gotten better since last season.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

How on earth did this guy fall so far? What a steal he turned out to be :bowdown:
Agreed. Would have been a great fit for the heat too.

nope

[G-train]

If Chalmers didn't have this level of self belief, he would be out of the league.
I honestly believe though that he was alcohol affected to say it out aloud.

[Suckafree]

This.

His career is basically gunna be D-fish 2.0

[aceman]

chalmers isn't a point guard

[BoutPractice]

Pair him with Jordan Crawford and you'll have the greatest hypothetically relevant backcourt of all time.

[alenleomessi]

There are about 30 PGs better than Chalmers in the league. Hell, if we can include players who dont but can play PG like Lebron, Harden, Manu and some others, i think there are 50 better point guards than Chalmers

[BlackVVaves]

Chalmers isn't even Top 15 :oldlol:

I'd take players like Billups, Jennings, Teague, Isaiah Thomas, Jeremy Lin over Chalmers, and they aren't even sniffing the Top 10.

Simmer down there, young blood.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Dumbass

[longtime lurker]

In before Heat fans make a thread crying about how Mario Chalmers is the most disrespected point guard on ISH

[Rubio2Gasol]

I think he's top 15.

[Optimus Prime]

Yet another reason why the Heat are so easy to dislike. :facepalm

:kobe:

[SilkkTheShocker]

I think he's top 15.
U are literally the only poster I have considered putting in ignore. Ur posts are so annoying and g.ay

[Rubio2Gasol]

He's in that same category Fisher was back in the day, Great defense, decent scorer, and clutch.

I wouldn't take Lin or Issiah Thomas (though I like him) over him. He's on the same level as Teague, maybe a little below Jennings.

He's actually very very similar to Teague.

[El Kabong]

For some reason I keep thinking of that Beatles quote where they asked if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world and one of them replied he wasn't even the best drummer in the band.

[Raz]

Chalmers is only just above the level of Jeff Teague, and he's pretty much the worst starting point guard in the NBA.

Bolded players better than Chalmers
ATL: Teague/ Harris
BOS: Rondo/ Terry
BRK: Williams/ Watson
CHA: Walker/ Sessions
CHI: Rose/ Hinrich
CLE: Irving/ Gaines
DAL: Collison/ Beaubois
DEN: Lawson/ Miller

PHI: Holiday/ Ivey
PHO: Dragic/ Telfair
POR: Lillard/ Smith/ Price
SAC: Thomas/ Brooks
SAN: Parker/ Mills
TOR: Lowry/ Calderon
UTA: Williams/ Watson
WAS: Wall/ Price

That's 42 players I consider to be better point guards than Chalmers. The guy has an over-inflated ego. He gets lauded for his defense, yet LeBron or Wade are constantly asked to guard point guards like Rondo, Rose and Paul because Chalmers can't stay with them. He can't run an offense, and his best role is playing a stand around and wait for an open 3 like Derek Fisher, but without the toughness and basketball IQ.

[swi7ch]

I don't see CP3, DWill, or Nash holding a championship trophy so I will agree with the person who DOES have a title ring.

[swi7ch]

So the guy has confidence in himself, big deal?

game-winner in the NCAA finals game
starting PG for the NBA champion

given those two, he gets a pass to talk smack.

Damn...
seeing this list, he is actually a bottom 5 starter PG in the league.

I would say he is the top C in the NBA if you list them by weight.

[wang4three]

Confidence is a good thing for him. He needs it. He probably knows that he isn't top 10.

[DuMa]

hes definitely not top 10 there are a lot of great PGs in the league. its by far the most loaded position in the NBA. a lot of guys have a case to be top 10 on any given night. thats what chalmers can be. a top 10 PG on any given night because he has bron, wade and bosh to back him up.

[knickscity]

Nothing wrong with him feeling this way, as long as we as fans know the truth.

I would also believe, given the summer of 2010, with Miami keeping him in tow, that had to be a huge confidence booster.

And he can truthfully say he absolutely helped the team win at least one finals game.

Quote from Wade about Mario during the Finals


"He actually thinks he's the best player on this team, and that's a gift and a curse," Wade says. "But tonight, it was a gift for us because he never gets down on himself. He always believes, 'Find me. I can make a shot. I can make a play.'
The guy's confidence level is through the roof. And this is even though Lebron and Wade get on him all game long :oldlol:

[RRR3]

:wtf: :biggums: :facepalm :coleman: :no:
Jameer has declined severely. Obviously he was better than Chalmers when he was at his best, but he's fallen off a lot.

[alleykat]

reminds me of when monta ellis said he was the best or 2nd best player in the league...

[Bigsmoke]

he's good but he better back that shit up next season

[tmacattack33]

He won't.

I heard he was thinking of changing his name like Tito Santana did.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Chalmers is about as average as it gets. He doesn't have the upside to even sniff being a top 10 player one day. He plays good defense, spots up from 3, and can hit big shots. Aside from that, his handles are below-average and he is an average athlete.

Yea, I don't remember Chalmers slowing Rondo down at all. I get having confidence, but Chalmers is a hair above being a scrub.

[RRR3]

Rondo hit a bunch of wide open shots that he usually bricks or passes up. Big deal. Pretty sure chalmers scored 20 a few times on rondo btw. Not comparing them obviously rondos a star and rio is a role player I'm just saying. Rondo is getting overrated as fck on ISH

Rondo overrated? He's like the bastard son of Fat Lever and Mookie Blaylock, with a dash of Stockton's genes added in.

He's a revolutionary point guard. Mario Chalmers couldn't do jack without James, Wade and Bosh drawing all of that attention, that's the only reason Chalmers has ever been able to put up 20. He's a spot up shooter, and a very streaky one at that.

Rondo overrated? Pfft. People are always shitting on him for what he can't do (shoot) - they forget that he dominates his other categories so thoroughly. He gets to the hoop at will, is equal to Nash in terms of court vision, plays exceptional defense, is a constant threat to do something unbelievable to swing a game when you least expect it, and comes up with the big play far more often than not (how many big offensive rebounds does he get?).

You shouldn't even mention these two in the same breath. Next you'll be telling me that Neneh Cherry is on par with Janet Jackson.

[kentatm]

:roll:

he couldnt even stop JJ Barea when they were matched up in 2011.

no way he is suddenly in the top 10 of PGs let alone at the front end.

[TMT]

Chalmers isn't even better than George Hill. Top 10 my ass. You rode three of the best players in the league to a championship, and hit some big shots thanks to them taking the attention away from you. He has no reason to be this cocky whatsoever.

Chalmers has only score 20 pts twice in the post season in 3 years and almost twice in the regular season in 4 years. Rondo is where he should be, a questionable top pg, but has a solidified spot in the top 5.

what's he supposed to say?

Yeah, I'm not great, but at least I'm winning

1st play: Bosh sets a moving screen, Teague is taken out of the play, CHalmers dribbles 3 times to his right and hits a pull up jumper. ANy NBA player should be able to do this.

2nd play: Chalmers goes baseline, must teams would force the guy out by sending another tall defender to front him, the Hawks rely on athleticism, not smarts. Not an exceptional play by any means. Most coaches hate when their point guard goes baseline like that - he was lucky Battier was in the corner to bail him out.

3rd play: Chalmers hits a 3 from the corner. He couldn't beat his man, so this is his only option - he also loses control of his dribble while dribbling into a double team trap in the corner :roll: . He then proceeds to complain about a missed foul call.

4th play: Open 3

5th play: Open lay-up from Bosh give and go.

I give up - this is like watching Derek Fisher highlights.
