Heat star Tyler Herro may be a sharpshooter on the basketball court, but he was way off the mark with his latest take.
The Miami swingman said on a recent livestream that he “doesn’t believe in history” before the year 1950 and also several events after.

Herro was appearing on a Twitch stream with Adin Ross and N3on last week when the all-star was asked if hoops legend Wilt Chamberlain would be a top player in the NBA today.
“I don’t even know what Wilt looked like, played like,” Herro admitted.
Ross then asked Herro if he believed that Chamberlain “dropped 100” during a game in March 1962 while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors.
While Herro responded “yeah,” it got something stirring inside him and the former first-round pick then asked the streamer if he believed in history.

“You think history is a real thing?” Herro asked, to which Ross confidently replied “yeah.”
“Nah, I don’t believe in history,” Herro said to the surprise of the streamers. “No, I’m deadass.”
The pair, who clearly were taken aback by the revelation, asked Herro if he believed things that happened 200 years ago.
“Hell no,” he replied.
“What about the moon landing?” N3on asked.
“Nah, I don’t believe in that. I don’t believe in anything that happened before 1950,” Herro said, leaving the Ross and N3on speechless as they processed what was said.
“Have we been f***ing bamboozled?” N3on joked before they tried to dig deeper into Herro’s belief — or lack thereof.
The hosts then probed Herro, asking him if he believed in the flat Earth theory before getting back to historical events.
“For real, like, how do we know? When did he come to the land or whatever?” Herro asked. “They said 1492?”
N3on quipped that there’s “no way of really knowing,” to which Herro shrugged his shoulders in agreement.
After fans responded in the chat that Herro had “never read a book,” the Heat star responded by essentially confirming the statement.
“See, y’all believe that s***,” he said of the chat comments. “I don’t believe that s***! I never read that s*** in school.”
Herro’s statement quickly went viral, with many fans questioning if he truly didn’t believe in historical events, or if he was just joking on the stream.
