He hit the biggest shot of the 2008 NCAA championship game, a three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation that led to his Kansas team winning the title. But since arriving in Miami, Mario Chalmers has been known for his defense, ranking fourth in the NBA in steals in his rookie season, and moving into the starting lineup at point guard for the Heat this year.

Chalmers recently revealed his likes and dislikes to Page 2.
