Mario Chalmers bet teammates he'd lose 10 pounds in a week

Ray Allen's physique has been gaining a lot of attention ahead of the NBA season, but don't sleep on Mario Chalmers.

The Heat point guard reportedly bet teammates Allen, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade that he could lose 10 pounds in a week. And he accomplishmed the challenge with ease.

"[The bet] started with Ray," Chalmers said. "Ever since then, I just got a little extra push. I've just been working harder. We wanted a three-peat. They all said, 'We need you to be the head of the team, you need to be in tip-top shape and we need you to lead by example."

Chalmers eliminated fried foods and soda from his diet while eating more salads. And his weight loss even caused conditioning coach Bill Foran to joke, "too much, too fast."

"It's worked out pretty good, actually," Chalmers continued. "I feel a lot faster. It helps me get to different spaces on the court and small cracks easier. [Losing the weight] was more of a conscious thing of winning, helping the team. It wasn't an individual bet but what can I do to help the team get better."
