Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade: the “stars” of the Miami Heat. With a combined salary of over $47 million, these three  make up 60 percent of Miami’s payroll.

Yes, they’ve been collectively voted to 20 all-star game appearances, averaged 73.1 points together, and 24.4 rebounds per game over each of their eight-year careers, but I’m going to tell you a more important key to the Miami success.

Last name: Chalmers. First name: Mario.

He is a 6 foot 2 inch, 190 pound guard from the University of Kansas. And the current starting point guard of the Miami Heat.

The NBA is all about getting the job done and the job getting done efficiently. That’s how to produce a fluid and lenghty career.

Chalmers possesses the 12th highest efficiency rating in the NBA among point guards. (65 total point guards were eligible for this statistic.)

Player efficiency rating consists of 10 different categories, including points, assists, etc., but is based off the sole fact of efficiency when a certain player steps on the court, and for how long.

James leads the league in this category (PER). Chalmers also ranks ahead of teammate NBA Championship  MVP Wade in this category.

Another success statistic Chalmers has on his side is that he leads all NBA guards in shooting percentage, shooting just under 58 percent.

He’s also top 5 in the league in TS%(True Shooting Percentage), with 71.4 percent, which combines FG%, FT%, and 3PT%. Thus proving that he is one the most deadly all-around shooters in the NBA.

Yeah, I may high on Chalmers a little, but I’ll give some opposition.

Derek Fisher and Jason Kidd are the last two NBA Champion starting point guards, and they’re both proven veterans time and time again. That’s something Super Mario doesn’t quite have.

Chalmers has a bright future, if he can helm the  Heatles (Bosh, James, Wade).
