Mario ChalmersMario Chalmers acquired his love for basketball at age 3 thanks to a Nerf basketball and hoop, and brought home his first championship trophy from the local YMCA league at age 12. In high school he was named a McDonalds All-American. At the Universit of Kansas, "Rio" earned a starting position during his freshman year, and helped lead the Jayhawks to the Big 12 Conference title. Two seasons later, he was a key member of KU's National Championship team, and famously hit a 3-point shot with 2.1 seconds left in regulation of the title game, which has come to be known as "The Miracle Shot." Mario's success has continued throughout his NBA career, as he won back-to-back championships with the Miami Heat. Off the court, Mario is the founder of the Mario V. Chalmers Foundation, which supports the positive development of youth through sports and education, and also the funding breast cancer research and treatment initiatives. Read More Read Less
