Tyler Herro Isn’t Able To Explain His Snarl Gone Viral: “I’ve Never Made That Face Before”
Game 3 wrote a vastly different story than Games 1 and 2. The Lakers struggled against a short-handed and injury plagued Heat squad, due to an all-time great performance by Jimmy Butler who finished with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.
But while Butler’s performance was the main story of the night, Tyler Herro came a close second in terms of social media virality.
After Herro removed all doubts of the Game 3 outcome by making an ‘and-one’ basket, the rookie broke out a pretty impressive snarl for the cameras that instantly went viral and was turned into a meme.
When Herro was asked to explain what he was thinking when making the snarl, during media availability yesterday, he revealed that he’s never made that face before in his entire life.
“The snarl? I kind of just did it. I’ve never really made that face before, like ever in my really entire life. Kind of just happened in the midst of things, in the moment.
Just how it is when you’re a competitor.”
