How did Mario Chalmers—a kid from Alaska who wanted to go to North Carolina—end up hitting the biggest shot in Jayhawk basketball history? Kansas would win that 2008 national championship in overtime, and Chalmers would be instantly immortalized for his role. But his story doesn’t end there. Chalmers was overlooked by NBA teams, falling into the second round of the draft before eventually ending up with the Miami Heat. And he would win back-to-back world championships with the Heat, playing a major role on both teams. So, how’d he do it? How did he go from Anchorage to Lawrence to Miami—winning titles at every stop—and showing up in a big way when it mattered most? This is one clutch story.
