Mario Chalmers

Profile Link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mario-chalmers-a866a6120/

Connections: 250

Bio: None

Alma Mater: Kansas University

Chalmers has one interesting career in the NBA. The starting point guard for two NBA champion Miami Heat teams in the mid 2010’s, Chalmers career has been a rollercoaster since. After averaging a career high 10.8 PPG in 2015-2016 with the Heat and Memphis Grizzlies, he couldn’t find a job the next season. He was resigned by the Grizzlies this past season and put up a resectable 7.7 PPG while mostly playing off the bench.

Perhaps best known for hitting the go ahead three pointer for Kansas University in the 2008 National Championship game, Chalmers is on the tail-end of a respectable career. His LinkedIn page could come in handy here soon.

My “Professional” Opinion: Mario’s mirror selfie game is STRONG. The man oozes swag with the slick, black button down and dope sunglasses. This man means business and is showcasing it on an important platform. This dude will cold call your girl right into dinner date. Beware.
