Tyler Herro was selected as an All-Star for the first time this year due to his impressive performance this season. He has been averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, which has earned him recognition and a spot in the All-Star Game.
The most intriguing aspect is that he managed to win the contest with his very first selection. He literally made his debut memorable at the NBA All-Star Weekend by winning the 3-Point Contest on Saturday night.
Herro’s win surprised many people because he was up against experienced shooters like Buddy Hield, who finished second with 23 points, and Darius Garland, who finished third with 19 points.
