Miami Heat star Tyler Herro shocked streamers Adin Ross and Neon on Thursday with a controversial take, his disbelief in history from before 1950. The guard made an appearance on Ross’ live stream on Kick, revealing his skepticism about events occurring 75 years ago.
This shocking revelation from Herro came halfway through the stream, after a fan questioned him about NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain.
“Hey, Tyler, do you think a prime Wilt would be top 5 in today’s league?” the fan queried. (1:07:59 onwards)

Herro responded that he didn't know how Wilt "looked" or "played," before questioning Ross and Neon if they believed in history. Both streamers quickly expressed their confidence in history, which led to Herro sharing a controversial opinion about historical events.
"I don't believe in history, I'm dead a*s," Herro said.
The opinion earned a follow-up question from Ross as he questioned the Heat player if he believed in events from 200 years ago. Tyler Herro quickly shut down the query, revealing his disbelief in history from 75 years ago.
"Hell no ... I don't believe in anything that happened before 1950," he claimed.
Herro's skepticism about history left the two streamers shocked, as he continued to discuss his views on the subject. The Wisconsin native explained how we couldn't be sure of history while taking Columbus' arrival in 1492 as an example. He stated that we can never be certain if that is true, as no one alive today was present 500 years ago.
Tyler Herro "hopes" to stay in Miami for the foreseeable future
During his appearance on Adin Ross' live stream, Tyler Herro discussed various topics, ranging from 2K to the league. The Heat guard also played paintball alongside Ross, as they were joined by rapper Lil Baby and Neon. During a segment of the stream, the conversation took a more serious turn when Ross expressed his wish to see Hero retire as a Heat.
"Tyler I want you to stay in Miami forever bro, I’m not joking," Ross said.
The Miami guard hoped for a similar outcome, as he responded to Adin in five words.
"I hope ... (let's) see what happens," Herro replied.
Herro was drafted by the Heat as the No. 13 pick in 2019. Since then, he has gradually grown in stature, becoming a household name. Since his debut, the former Kentucky guard has made two NBA Finals appearances.
