Mario Chalmers will be entering his first season on Miami 305 for the 2025 season.
Chalmers was the 22nd overall pick in the 2019 BIG3 draft. In his rookie season with the 3 Headed Monsters, he tied for second in most 4-pointers made, and was among four players in the league to make more than one 4-point shot. Chalmers also led the 3 Headed Monsters in assists per turnover, with a ratio of 2.6. Chalmers previously spent the last three seasons as captain of 3’s Company. This will be his sixth season in the league and he made the BIG3 All-Star team in 2022.
Chalmers will forever be a part of NCAA history. In the 2008 NCAA Championship, Chalmers hit the game-tying three for Kansas against Memphis, sending the game into overtime. The Jayhawks went on to win the Championship, and Chalmers was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
In his rookie year with the Miami Heat, Chalmers led all rookies in steals, averaging two a game, and set a franchise record for steals in a game with nine. That same season, Chalmers was named to the All-Rookie Second Team. The guard went on to play 7 seasons with the Heat, winning two NBA titles. Since leaving the NBA, Chalmers has played in Europe, Puerto Rico, and the G-League as well as the BIG3.
