'I don't even know what Wilt looked like, played like,' Herro admitted.

Ross then asked Herro if he believed that Chamberlain 'dropped 100' during a game in March 1962 while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors.

While Herro responded 'yeah,' it got something stirring inside him and the former first-round pick then asked the streamer if he believed in history.

'Hell no,' he replied.

'What about the moon landing?' N3on asked.

'Nah, I don't believe in that. I don't believe in anything that happened before 1950,' Herro said, leaving the Ross and N3on speechless as they processed what was said.

'Have we been f***ing bamboozled?' N3on joked before they tried to dig deeper into Herro's belief — or lack thereof.

The hosts then probed Herro, asking him if he believed in the flat Earth theory before getting back to historical events.
Article content
'For real, like, how do we know? When did he come to the land or whatever?' Herro asked. 'They said 1492?'
Article content
N3on quipped that there's 'no way of really knowing,' to which Herro shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

After fans responded in the chat that Herro had 'never read a book,' the Heat star responded by essentially confirming the statement.
Article content
'See, y'all believe that s***,' he said of the chat comments. 'I don't believe that s***! I never read that s*** in school.'

Herro's statement quickly went viral, with many fans questioning if he truly didn't believe in historical events, or if he was just joking on the stream.

GM Craig Conroy confident Flames will get Connor Zary signed: 'Just a matter of when'
The Calgary Flames are confident that they'll be able to get a deal done with Connor Zary this summer. Article content The Flames have been in back-and-forth negotiations with the restricted free agent and his representatives for a couple months now, with reports indicating they'd prefer to sign the 23-year-old to a shorter-term bridge deal and the player ideally wanting something longer. Article content As of this week, though, the wait continues. Article content 'We're talking. It's been slow, though,' Flames GM Craig Conroy said Wednesday, shortly after it was announced that Martin Pospisil had been signed to a three-year extension. 'Even with Pospisil, there comes a point where it heats up and you think 'Now we're close' and then you're able to get it done really quick. Pospisil was probably two, three months we were talking with (agent Dan Millstein).' Article content Getting Zary signed is the biggest piece of business the Flames have left to get done before training camp starts. Trading Rasmus Andersson or getting Dustin Wolf signed to an early extension might wind up being bigger if they happen, but there's no real, immediate urgency on either front. Article content But they need to get a deal done with Zary before training camp and he represents an interesting dilemma. Article content Picked 24th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft, Zary has shown flashes of exciting talent and has an ability to create while driving full-speed on the rush that few other players on the Flames roster can match. From Dec. 1 until Jan. 5 of this past season, he put up 10 points in 14 games while only Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau managed more over that stretch with the Flames. Article content Article content That suggests he has it in him to be an offensive driver over the next few seasons, but on Jan. 7, he suffered a tough knee injury against the Anaheim Ducks that took him out of the lineup for six weeks. He then had another knee injury on March 27 that ended his season. Article content Article content Both were freak injuries and were not the result of any wrongdoing on Zary's part, but they limited him to 54 games this season and he wound up scoring 13 goals and adding 14 assists. Article content 'With Zary, everybody takes his own time,' Conroy said. 'He's a huge priority for us and we're going to get it done, it's just a matter of when. I know everybody wants it done tomorrow and probably he does, too, and so do we, but both sides kind of have to come to an agreement where we both feel comfortable.' Article content

The native of Leeds, Ala., was speaking with Big Cat and PFT Commenter on the Pardon My Take podcast when the co-hosts asked Barkley to say hello to their mutual friend, Paul Bissonnette — a former NHLer turned analyst who hosts the Spittin' Chiclets podcast. The pair joked that Bissonnette — known as 'BizNasty' — needed to tone down his support of the Toronto Maple Leafs, to which Barkley countered that he also hopes to see the boys in blue and white raise the Stanley Cup some day. 'I'm rooting for (the Maple Leafs). They gotta win soon. I know they let (Mitch) Marner just go, but I gotta root for them because that's my favourite city in the world,' Barkley said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Toronto is the best city in the world. Easily. Chicago's summer is the second-best. Those are my two favourite places in the world.' Like Bissonnette, who works at TNT alongside Barkley, the Round Mound of Rebound has showed support for the Leafs on the network. In fact, at the start of last spring's NHL playoffs, Barkley picked the Leafs to make it to the Stanley Cup Final but to lose to the Edmonton Oilers. While the Oilers did reach the Final, they lost in six games to the Florida Panthers, who had bounced the Leafs in the second round. Read More This isn't the first time that Barkley has sung praise for the Six. While covering the 2019 NBA Finals between the Raptors and Golden State Warriors, Barkley said that he visits Toronto every summer. 'This is one of the best cities in the world,' Barkley said at the time. 'I come up here every summer. This is one of the best-kept secrets in the world.' Barkley didn't have much of an opportunity to take in Toronto during his playing days. Before he retired in 2000, the 11-time all-star only made three trips to the city to face the Raptors.
