Tyler Herro: Stop Playing With His Name—He's an All-Star!
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to preach the TRUTH. Tyler Herro is an NBA All-Star. PERIOD. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. We can sit here and talk about popularity contests, fan votes, or how Miami isn’t a “big market” like Los Angeles or New York, but when you drop the politics and actually watch the GAME, when you examine the NUMBERS, the IMPACT, and the PERFORMANCES, there’s only one conclusion you can arrive at—this man has been BALLING OUT.
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE
Let’s start with the FACTS. Through 43 games, Tyler Herro is averaging 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. That is All-Star production. Not just a microwave scorer, not just a guy getting hot every now and then—he’s an offensive engine, a playmaker, and a leader. His field goal percentage? 47.6%. His three-point shooting? 40.0%.
When you talk about offensive efficiency, let’s put this into perspective: He ranks among the TOP 20 SCORERS IN THE LEAGUE. That’s right, among the best of the best, and yet we’re debating whether he should be in the All-Star game? STOP IT.

THE BIG-TIME PERFORMANCES
Big-time players show up when the lights shine brightest, and Herro has been DELIVERING. Just look at these performances:
January 27 vs. Orlando Magic: 30 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists in a 125-119 win. A TRIPLE-DOUBLE. That’s All-Star material.
January 15 vs. Lakers: 34 points. Carried the Heat in a tough loss. The man was UNSTOPPABLE.
January 11 vs. Blazers: 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. Led Miami to a 119-98 win, proving he can DOMINATE.
November 12 vs. Pistons: 40 POINTS, 10 THREE-POINTERS. That’s a franchise record. You telling me that ain’t special?!
Night after night, Herro isn’t just showing up—he’s putting the Miami Heat on his back and carrying them to victories. THAT is what an All-Star does.
JOINING ELITE HEAT HISTORY
Now, let’s talk about RARE company. Tyler Herro is on pace to join LeBron James as the only Heat player in franchise history to average 20+ points, 5+ rebounds, and 5+ assists while shooting 40% from three in a season. Read that again. LEBRON. JAMES.
Herro is doing things only the greatest Heat player of all time has accomplished. You put up those numbers, you belong in the All-Star Game. Simple as that.
DISRESPECT AT ITS FINEST
Let’s address the elephant in the room—why is Tyler Herro’s All-Star candidacy even a debate? Because he’s not flashy? Because he doesn’t have a shoe deal with a major brand? Because people are still clinging to old narratives about Miami? I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. This isn’t about hype. This is about PRODUCTION. This is about RESULTS.
If a player on a big-market team was putting up these numbers, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. Herro is putting up better numbers than multiple “automatic” All-Star picks, and yet he’s fighting for his respect? I will NOT stand for it.
PUT SOME RESPECT ON TYLER HERRO
The man is a walking bucket. A playmaker. A winner. He has stepped up for the Miami Heat in ways that demand recognition. He is not just a Sixth Man of the Year candidate anymore. He is a legitimate, bonafide, no-questions-asked NBA All-Star.
NBA, stop playing games. TYLER HERRO DESERVES TO BE IN THE 2025 ALL-STAR GAME. Period. End of discussion.
FINAL CALL: THURSDAY IS JUDGMENT DAY
This Thursday, TNT will unveil the 2025 NBA All-Star reserves during their pregame show. The time for debates is OVER. If the coaches and the league respect REAL PRODUCTION, Tyler Herro’s name WILL be called.
If not? Well, the disrespect will be LOUD and the basketball world will have some serious explaining to do.
Mark your calendars. Thursday. TNT. Let’s see who really knows basketball.
