The All-Slam in the Basketball World! After this final victory, he gathered all the league championships in his career

4:24pm, 1 September 2025【Basketball】

At the end of August, former Heat defender Chalmos defeated his opponent with a bottom corner three-pointer, helping Miami win the BIG3 annual championship. BIG3 is a three-man basketball league with many retired NBA players participating. The goal is 50 points per game, and one side must lead the opponent by 2 points to be considered a victory. Chalmos defeated the goal with a three-pointer.

So far, Chalmos has achieved an extremely rare "Grand Slam" achievement in the basketball world: from junior high school to retirement, all the leagues participated in have won championships, with a total of 9 trophies.

The first place is the National Junior High School Sports League champion, and Chalmos also defeated his opponent with three-pointers. The last two are high school league champions. Chalmos made three-time Alaska finals in the finals, won two state championships, and was elected the state best player for three consecutive years, ranking 15th in the United States. It is worth mentioning that his father is the head coach of the high school team. With his father earning the position of director of the athletics department at the prestigious University of Kansas and serving as assistant coach of the basketball team, Chalmos undoubtedly chose Kansas.

In his junior season, the University of Kansas reached the NCAA National Championship finals, opposite the University of Memphis led by the No. 1 pick Ross of the NBA. In the last 10.8 seconds, with Memphis leading by 2 points, Ross still held two free throws, but unfortunately the first free throw missed, leaving Kansas a glimmer of hope. After Ross made the second free throw, he immediately pressed the game, trying to delay the opponent's time. Seeing that the opponent was about to fall, Chalmos rushed to the reception and met Ross with a difficult three-point tie, dragged the game into overtime, and finally defeated Memphis to win the championship. At the same time, Chalmos scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 interruptions in the game, winning the MOP.

Even though Chalmos was honored in the NCAA, Ross was still the unquestionable No. 1 pick in the NBA. Due to his age disadvantage, the former was only picked by the Timberwolves in the fourth pick in the second round of the same draft, and was then traded to the Heat.

The Heat have always been a paradise for "low dogs" to counterattack. For second round picks, the standard rookie contract is usually 2 years, that is: 1-year guarantee + 1-year team option, but the Heat gave Chalmos a "2+1" contract, and in the first season, he became the first rookie in team history to play 82 regular season games as a starter.

Calmos originally wanted to use No. 15 of the college jersey, but at that time the Heat No. 15 was occupied by center Mark Blunt, so he had to choose No. 6 first. James defected to the Heat in 2010-11. Because the Heat retired No. 23 in the team to express their respect for Jordan in 2003, James decided to change his No. 6 in the Olympics. At this time, Blunt was no longer in the formation, and Chalmos was happy to give up No. 6, so he changed back to No. 15.

But his bond with James is more than that. The most famous scene happened in December 2013. The Heat played against the Pacers. In the early retreat of the third quarter, Chalmos ran to the bottom corner with the opponent George Hill, while James wanted to stay at the bottom line to protect the basket and let Chalmos replace Paul George, who was facing him. After a communication mistake, Paul George hit a big open three-pointer, and the gap widened to 9 points.

According to Chalmos' recollection, James kept complaining about many details in that game, and George still complained after he hit a three-pointer. So during the pause, Chalmos got angry at James with a rare moment: "You are a star player! Don't act like xx, play hard!" ("You 're the star player! Stop acting like a b**ch and play!"). James also exploded instantly. If it weren't for Haslem's arrest, he still didn't know whether the conflict would escalate. After a timeout at the end of the third quarter, James calmed down and apologized to Chalmos. (Rio, I was wrong, my bad).

Chalmos revealed that although the relationship between the two is relatively dull, he sometimes sends messages to James, but he does not reply. But in the 11-13 season, James really helped him bring two NBA championships, and he is still very grateful.

In 2015, Chalmos was traded to the Grizzlies, and suffered a torn right Achilles tendon the next year. After a serious injury, he gradually faded out of the NBA.

The magical thing is that in 2019, he joined the Italian League and won the European Club Championship with Bologna. In 2020, Chalmos switched to the Greek League and won the Greek Cup championship with AEK Athens. In addition, now he has won the BIG3 championship, and he is definitely a sucking stone in the championship, and he is definitely not a scrap to win every time. Fans joked: "Charmos can also be regarded as an alternative Goat!"
