Tyler Herro started his NBA career for the Miami Heat. During his third season in the NBA, Herro won Sixth Man Of The Year (2021-22). The Heat would consider themselves fortunate for landing a potential NBA star as a mid-round pick in the 2019 draft. The Heat paid him handsomely after his rookie contract was up, offering him a fully guaranteed 4 year, $120,000,000 contract. Herro is an enthusiastic player who plays with a lot of energy. It wasn’t long before his playing style made him a Miami Heat fan favorite. During his rookie season in 2019-20, Herro signed a shoe deal with Nike. To date, Herro has worn only Nike shoes while playing in the NBA. And he has worn a variety of Nike’s, including Lebron James, Paul George, and Kobe Bryant’s signature shoes. Herro likes to wear Mid-Top shoes, but some can be close to Low Tops.
Updates:
Tyler Herro didn’t have a good playoff run last season (2023-24) when Jimmy Butler was injured. But it wasn’t only Butler the team was missing; starting point guard Terry Rozier wasn’t playing either. It could be that playing without his point guard impacted him more than the absence of Butler. Herro is locked into a big contract, and Portland wasn’t interested in trading Lillard for him. The Heat are likely stuck with Herro for a few years, so they will want to see him play well during the 2024-25 season. 9/15/2024
