First things first: We like Mario Chalmers as a player. The guy was great at Kansas and, while we didn't necessarily agree with him when he said that he thinks he's one of the best point guards in the NBA back in 2012, we do think he's got some serious skills on the court.

That being said, we've never used the words "Mario Chalmers" and "beast" in the same sentence before because, well, it just doesn't sound right. "Damian Lillard is a beast"? Sure. "John Wall is a beast"? Yup. "Kyrie Irving is a beast"? You betcha. But "Mario Chalmers is a beast"? Ehhhh.
