However, despite being what many would consider the perfect teammate, LeBron doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with every one of them. Over the years, he’s butted heads with plenty of them on the Cavaliers, Heat, and now the Lakers.
Perhaps the most memorable falling out he has had was with Mario Chalmers. The two never really seemed to gel well off the court, and with Chalmers’ recent comments about LeBron not being “feared”, a clip has resurfaced. One showcasing the bad blood the too had with each other back in Miami.

So far, LeBron hasn’t responded to Chalmers’ hot take. Knowing him, he’d rather let his actions do the talking, and in this case, it’s focusing on making the Playoffs and winning another championship.
