Heat's Tyler Herro makes startling comments about history before 1950
Herro was spotted with popular Twitch streamers Adin Ross and N3on and was asked whether he thought Basketball Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain would be a top-five player in today's NBA.
Herro said he did not know what Chamberlain "looked like" when he played and believed that Chamberlain did, in fact, score 100 points in a single NBA game.
Then, the conversation veered off track.
"You think history is a real thing?" Herro asked.
Ross replied, "Yeah."
"Nah, I don't believe in history," Herro said. "No, I'm dead a--."
Ross was perplexed and asked, "you don't believe in s--- that happened like 200 years ago?" Herro said, "No, hell no," adding that he did not believe man actually landed on the moon.
Ross smirked to the camera.
"I don't believe in that. I don't believe in anything that happened before 1950," Herro said while later questioning how historians knew that Christopher Columbus sailed west and landed in the present-day Bahamas and later Cuba and Hispaniola.
It is unclear whether Herro was being serious with his answers as he seemed to be chummy with Ross and N3on.
The 25-year-old was born in Milwaukee and attended Whitnall High School in Greenfield before he attended the University of Kentucky.

Florida football had wild plans for 7-foot-9 basketball star Olivier Rioux
Give Billy Napier some points for creativity. Florida's football coach brought in Olivier Rioux, a 7-foot-9 redshirt freshman basketball player for the Gators, to work out with the hope that he could help block field goals and extra points. 'I like the idea,' Gators basketball coach Todd Golden said at a booster event Thursday, per the Associated Press.'I give them credit for trying it.' 3 Florida's Olivier Rioux stands at 7-foot-9. AP Unfortunately, the tryout didn't go as hoped. Rioux has just an 11-inch vertical, so despite his massive wingspan, he couldn't get up high enough to block any kicks. 'They were a little disappointed,' Golden said. Rioux is expected to be in the rotation this year for the Gators, though his minutes could be limited given that Florida returns its entire national-title winning frontcourt. 3 Rioux dunks during warm-ups before the Final Four.

There is a recent history of college athletes playing both football and basketball. 3 Florida football coach Billy Napier. Getty Images for ONIT Keon Coleman, currently a receiver for the Bills, committed to Michigan State to play both football and basketball — and did play a handful of basketball games for the school before transferring to Florida State for his junior year. The Bills ultimately selected him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. That, however, was in a much different, less-specialized role than Florida was aiming for with Rioux. Rioux, a Canada native, did not appear in any games for the Gators last season, with Florida's website stating he took a redshirt season to work on his 'strength, conditioning and agility.' He made headlines after the national title triumph over Houston by cutting down the nets without a ladder.

‘Magic: The Gathering' Swung Into the Spider-Verse at Comic-Con
We're on the cusp of the release of Magic: The Gathering's next major set, Edge of Eternities, next week, but that didn't stop Wizards of the Coast from swinging into San Diego Comic-Con to show off its next big crossover: Spider-Man. And in our first major glimpse at what to expect from the set, we got treated to a whole spider-verse of new cards—and, of course, some very nifty comic book-themed variants to get your wallet's spidey senses tingling. It's no surprise that transforming cards are going to be the name of the game in Spider-Man, given the plethora of secret identities and alter egos of friends and foes at play here. While seemingly not every Spider-Hero included in the set will get that treatment, major players like Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy will all be able to flip between their civilian identities and their hero forms. Another recurring mechanic? Summoning spider tokens—a cute nod to the origins of many a Spider-hero, although in Magic it turns Pete and his friends more into a Spiders-Man than anything else. One new mechanic coming to the set that we know of thanks to these new cards is web-slinging, although it's more that the flavor is new rather than the actual mechanic. Drawing on a plethora of other quickening mechanics from Magic's past (and its present, given the arrival of Warp in Edge of Eternities), web-slinging lets a player pay a reduced mana cost for a card at the expense of returning a tapped creature you control back to your hand. Think of it like Spidey using something—in this case, a creature on the battlefield—to zipline into the action with haste! Metaphorical haste, rather than mechanical haste, that is. Aside from introducing key heroes and villains coming to the set, the new reveals also showcased a host of variant card treatments—although with a slight twist that Spider-Man will be the first crossover set that removes the distinctive triangular border frame that has defined 'Universes Beyond' cards in the past, further enmeshing Magic's crossover experiences with original sets. Variant treatments for Spider-Man include, of course, stylized webbing frames and comic-panel-inspired alternate art, but also special comics art variants that leverage decades of Marvel Comics artwork—in some instances, turning cards into iconic comic covers, framing their rules text into a front-page spread. Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set begins releasing September 26. Check out even more cards revealed at SDCC below! Want more io9 news?
