NBA fans are condemning Tyler Herro for his recent claim about the Miami Heat’s backcourt

Confidence is one of the keys to success in the NBA, but fans aren’t afraid to call out stars when they’re feeling too optimistic.

Miami Heat star Tyler Herro is one of the latest to receive this treatment after comments he made about the team’s backcourt. Herro and Terry Rozier enter their first full season together with the prospect of becoming one of the best guard duos in the league.

“We’re both really motivated,” Herro told Jeremy Taché. “We both had really good summers. We wanted to come back stronger this year. We’re really excited to play together to prove people wrong. They know they really don’t believe the backcourt can work between both of us. We both believe in it.” “We’re one of the best backs in the league, and we both believe we’re one of the best defenders in the league.”

The community has been keen to let Herro know that the Heat are nowhere near the top of this category.

“I like the confidence but no,” one user wrote.

“Deception only has one purpose, after that it’s pure stupidity,” another fan commented.

Then some came with the voice of reason and wrote: “Every athlete should have this attitude. That doesn’t mean it’s true, but that has to be what every athlete thinks.”
