Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro did a great job trolling his haters after winning Sixth Man of the Year on Tuesday. He didn't even have to say anything to do it!
During an interview with NBA on TNT after receiving the honor, Herro can be seen wearing a hoodie with a design showing himself as Superman–because he's Super Herro–while blowing a bubble.
"When I think of the Sixth Man award it's Lou Will or Jamal Crawford. … They paved the way for all of us."

For those haters who have been criticizing him non-stop, they surely got it after one look. For those not in the know, Tyler Herro was referring to the talks about him being a “bubble boy” after his performance for the Heat in the 2020 playoffs at the Orlando bubble.
Herro was one of the biggest revelations for Miami at the time, playing a key role for the squad to reach the NBA Finals. However, while many expected him to make a big jump in the following season, he failed to do so and was less impactful than he was in his rookie year. It led to many detractors discussing how his brilliant play as a rookie was only because he was in the bubble and that he can't really perform that well in pressure-packed situations.

Bubble jokes aside, Herro certainly deserves to be the Sixth Man of the Year. He has been a consistent force for the Heat all season long and even saved the team from the brink of defeat more than just once.
Now, as Herro said it, the next step for him is to win the championship with the Heat and become an All-Star.
