Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro is one of the stars in his team and his shooting skills have make a name for himself, earning him the Sixth Man Of The Year for the 2021-2022 NBA season.
For the 2024 NBA season the former Kentucky Wildcats guard is averaging 23.6 points per game, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and has a field goal percentaje of 46.5%. Herro hopes that his numbers can help the Heat make a deep run in the playoffs and that he can finally get an NBA championship on his sixth season in the league.
And now we know that he hasn’t lacked any confidence since he was a teenager. Recently a video surfaced online showing an 11 years old Herro showing off his dribbling skills and bragging about how good of a basketball player he was.
“I’m the best player in Wisconsin right here, baby. Shoots the lights out. Dribble like Rajon Rondo. 30 points, that’s what I do. Let’s go play some basketball, you’re gonna be stunned, your balls are gonna fall off.” says Herro as he looks at the camera while wearing a Kansas Jayhawks t-shirt. The video was recorded from a garage.
A young friend appears on the shot and agrees with everything that Tyler said, adding “all day, man, all day… here we go, your balls are gonna fall off!” The young kid proceeds to put the camera on Herro as the future NBA player shows off his skills with the rock.
Tyler Herro’s role with the Miami Heat
Tyler Herro continues to play a massive role for the shorthanded Heat, and he’s now seen at least 38 minutes in four of his last six games. During that stretch, Herro has posted third-round value in nine-category formats, averaging 23.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 4.2 three-pointers.
The Heat will need all of Herro’s talent if they want to make a run for the championship. They have offensive power in the hands of superstar Jimmy Butler and a defensive juggernaut in Bam Adebayo, with big contributions from role players Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Terry Rozier.
The Miami Heat has been able to have regular success during the season and even made it to the 2020 NBA Finals but they felt short against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first ever championship played in the bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
