Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro continues to build his All-Star case And left his mark on the team’s record books.
Herro passed Heat star Tim Hardaway to rank second in franchise history with 808 three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors. From 1996 to 2001, Hardaway made a total of 806 three-pointers in six seasons with the Heat.
Duncan Robinson leads the Heat with 1,056 three-pointers.

Herro has been a regular bright spot during the Heat’s inconsistent season. He averages 24 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
His shooting percentage of 47.0 is a career high. Herro also has a career-best 41.9 from three-point range.
“I feel like the younger T took a lot of misplaced, bad shots,” Herro said recently said NBA TV.
VIRAL VIDEO SHOWS YOUNG HERRO
A recently resurfaced video shows a young Herro declaring himself the “best player in Wisconsin” in fifth grade.
“I can’t stop him,” Herro said. “Flash out the lights. He dribbles like a Rajon Rondo.”
The youthful Herro certainly didn’t lack confidence.
“30 points, I’ll do that,” says Herro. “I’m not stopping. I play all day. I don’t miss it. I don’t miss it. I just play basketball all day. I’ll show you some skills I have.”
CARTER WILLIAMS BLASTS WADE
Longtime NBA guard Michael Carter-Williams isn’t inclined to add the word “leader” to Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade’s extensive resume.
Carter-Williams and Wade played together for the Chicago Bulls during the 2016-17 season. The Bulls were hoping that the Big Three of Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo could make a splash in the Eastern Conference.
Things didn’t go according to plan. Chicago barely made the playoffs in eighth place, and Wade missed time with a broken elbow. Wade and the Bulls agreed to a buyout before the 2017-18 season.
Carter-Williams reflected on his lone season alongside Wade during a recent appearance on FanDuel TV Run it back show. MCW said he believed Wade did not know his role and was in a “difficult position.”
“There were times where he was a leader and talked about his past experiences and tried to make us aware of certain things and try to lead as best as he could,” Carter-Williams said. “And then there were times when maybe we thought he could have been a better leader.”
