Tyler Herro is the breakout 2nd year Miami Heat shooting guard that put up 37 points against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 matchup.
Tyler had been known as a great shooter with a lot of confidence prior to his playoff career-high, but his performance in Game 4 made the world take notice.
The thing I like most about Tyler is his confidence. He is not afraid of the moment, and he has no fear.
