Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is drawing comparisons to future Hall of Famer Kyrie Irving but for all the wrong reasons.
Herro recently appeared on a live stream to speak on a matter of subjects that involved debunking various moments in history. The discussion began when Herro was asked about Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962.
"I don't believe in history," Herro said. "I'm dead ass [serious]."

Herro was then asked about Neil Armstrong landing on the moon.
"No, I don't believe in that," Herro said. "I don't believe anything that happened before 1950."
The conversation later turned to Christopher Columbus discovering America.
"How do we know," Herro said. "When did he come to America? They said 1492?"
Fans have since linked Herro to Irving, who created a stir when he said the Earth is flat in 2018.
βI do research on both sides,β Irving said at the time to the New York Times. βIβm not against anyone that thinks the Earth is round. Iβm not against anyone that thinks itβs flat. I just love hearing the debate.β
Irving later apologized for his comments, specifically to teachers.
βTo all the science teachers, everybody coming up to me like, `You know Iβve got to reteach my whole curriculum?β Iβm sorry,β Irving said. βI apologize. I apologize.β
