Looks like Memphis wants Mario
-
Giving up their 2016 1st round draft choice to keep Chalmers!
-
@mayjay Smart. Mario remains my favorite Jayhawk after Danny Manning.
-
Mario is a very underrated player. He was the starting PG for the Miami team that went to 4 NBA finals and won two rings. In addition to his obvious skills, he brings experience and a winning mentality. Looking forward to see Memphis and its 3 Jayhawks play.

Sorry, he was the starting PG for awhile, but not on the Finals teams. He may have started a few games then, but he was not “the starting PG”.
An interesting tidbit is that he was the entire Miami team for a few hours. Just before the LeBron “decision” all Miami contracts had expired except Chalmers and Beasley, and Beasley was traded a few hours before LeBron, Wade and Bosh became the Big Three. So Chalmers was the only player on the roster that day.

Miami went to the finals in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and won titles in 2012 and 2013. Mario’s starting record in those 4 year was:
Season Started-Played
- 2010-2011 28-70
- 2011-2012 64-64
- 2012-2013 77-77
- 2013-2014 73-73
In the two championship seasons Mario started every game he played and was the starting PG on 3 of the 4 years the Heat went to the finals.

@JayHawkFanToo My bad, thanks for correcting.

No problem. This forum has a number of posters with great knowledge of the game and some of us older posters have been around for a while and we are able to occasionally bring some old/historical perspective as well. I believe we all learn something new about the game every day by participating in this forum.

Yah, Memphis has become Allen Field House East…from a certain point of view.
Rock Chalk!
-
Neither McLemore nor Selden were active for the game. Teams can have only 13 player active for a game.

Talking about former KU players…look at Nick Collison and Russell Westbrook (not a formerKU player
) and wives winning the Halloween contest…
