The definition of “a bucket” is a basketball player you can depend on to score (get buckets) when you give them the ball despite the circumstances.
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.
I’m sure Paul Pierce felt a little spicy about Tyler Herro’s performance because it was against his Boston Celtics, the team he won a championship with, and the team that has his retired jersey hanging in the rafters.
On a pre-game segment Paul Pierce said he refuses to call Tyler Herro a bucket until he averages 20pts. in the regular season.

I’m with Tyler Herro on this one Spicy P! I agree that Tyler is a bucket. Tyler has an amazing skill set and complete confidence in himself.

There is no denying that Tyler Herro is a baller, but a lot of people may not know that he also has swag.

Don’t sleep on the Miami Heat, they can compete with the Lakers!
