Tyler Hero’s Thoughts on History
Miami Heat player Tyler Hero recently shared some unconventional views on history, specifically dismissing events prior to 1950. This perspective came up during a live stream with popular Twitch streamers Adin Ross and N3on, where they discussed legendary figures like Wilt Chamberlain.
At just 25, Hero admitted he wasn’t even familiar with what Chamberlain looked like. This admission seemed to surprise the streamers, who then quizzed him about Chamberlain’s remarkable 100-point game against the New York Knicks back in March 1962. Hero hesitantly acknowledged the feat but then began questioning the validity of historical events in a casual manner.
“Do you think history is real?” one of the streamers asked. Hero confidently replied, “Yes,” but then seemingly contradicted himself, stating, “No, I don’t believe in history,” shaking his head and leaning back in his chair. It was quite the unexpected twist for everyone involved.
When asked about significant events like the moon landing, Hero didn’t hold back. “No, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe anything that happened before 1950,” he asserted, which momentarily left the streamers at a loss for words.
This led to a humorous exchange about the reliability of historical accounts, with Hero questioning the established narrative of Christopher Columbus discovering America. “How do you know that’s true? Did they say 1492?” he mused, suggesting that there’s no way to truly verify such events.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when the streamers joked about being surrounded by misinformation, prompting Hero to react. He curiously mentioned he had never really engaged with historical books, indicating a lack of formal study on the topic.
“Look, I believe in sh-t,” he remarked, expressing disbelief about the commonly accepted historical tales. His comments left viewers wondering if he was serious or just joking around. While Chamberlain’s 100-point game is widely recognized and documented, Hero’s take on historical events certainly challenges conventional thinking.
