It’s not very often that an athlete realizes their dream to become a professional athlete. But it’s an even rarer accomplishment to realize that dream while also becoming a cult icon. That’s where Tyler Herro comes in. Since bursting on to the scene in 2019, Herro has not only proven to be a force on the court, but also on social media. In this sit-down with Duncan and Davis, Tyler expands on both of those subjects, as well as playing with a chip on his shoulder, avoiding having his game "put in a box”, coming off the bench, the importance of finishing games, and much more.
