Surprised it wasn't Vardon that wrote the Rich Paul fluff piece. That seems to be his wheelhouse, no?
 
Mario Chalmers on scolding he used to get from LeBron James: 'It's going to be a different factor for Kyrie' Irving

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil –

...Cavaliers forward LeBron James was hard on Chalmers in their four years together in Miami. As the floor general, Chalmers made his share of boneheaded blunders and James, being the perfectionist that he is, would repetitively scold Chalmers publicly during games.

Sometimes Chalmers would argue back, trying to make his point. However, you're not winning that battle against the best player in the world. It wasn't aimed at being malicious. He just wanted Chalmers to succeed at his job.

James was hard on his former point guard because he's a point guard at heart and understands how the position should be played.

Nevertheless, Chalmers seems relieved that it's now Kyrie Irving's problem.

"LeBron is a dominant player so if he feels like something is not going his way, he's going to say something about it," Chalmers told Northeast Ohio Media Group. "For Kyrie, he's going to have to adjust to that and LeBron is going to have to adjust to Kyrie. It's going to be a different factor for Kyrie." (link continues)

Nothing we don't know already, but his perspective is good enough for starting from Ground Zero. I can see him getting better as he's around the team more.
