Although NBA players are always in front of a camera and microphone when they are in season, their offseasons are actually when fans get to learn a lot more about them and who they are as people.
With everything being captured and immediately shared with the world online, fans get to learn things like where players like to vacation, whether they like to relax or turn up, what they like to eat, and what they believe in.
Recently, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro gave fans a glimpse into what he doesn’t believe in. Appearing on a live Kick stream with popular streamers Adin Ross and N3on, Herro and the others discussed the legitimacy of the 100-point record held by NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain, which is apparently a running joke amongst sports fans since there isn’t any footage.
However, the discussion about Chamberlain and his stats led to a shocking admission from Herro, who confidently revealed he doesn’t believe in history.
His statement was met with shock, laughs, and a ton of questions from the two streamers. Ross asked if he believes in stuff that happened 200 years ago, and N3on asked if he believed in the moon landing. Herro responded to both questions with an emphatic "no," before doubling down and making it clear that he doesn’t believe in anything that happened before 1950.

The unintentional irony of this exchange is that the first moon landing took place in 1969 and Chamberlain’s 100-point game was in 1962— both falling in the era of believable history according to Herro.
However, he still isn’t convinced that either of those events happened. Herro has plenty of company on those takes, though, as a lot of people question the legitimacy of these events. However, the Heat star took things to another level by dismissing everything before 1950.
Herro attempted to rationalize his belief by asking, “How do we know?” When Ross brought up Christopher Columbus, Herro immediately responded by asking how do we know what really happened in 1492?
Of course, the clip made its rounds on social media, and Herro was the subject of a lot of jokes and criticism, but he also had some support. Taking the have-to-see-it-to-believe-it expression to a whole new level, Herro now joins a long list of famous conspiracy theorists.
