Tyler Herro is going viral for saying he doesn’t “believe in history.”

During a recent Kick livestream with Adin Ross, the 25-year-old NBA star was asked by a viewer if he thought “a prime Wilt [Chamberlain] would be top 5 in today's league."

“I don’t even know what Wilt looked like, played like,” Tyler responded near the four-hour and five-minute mark in the stream linked here.

When Ross asked if he believed Chamberlain actually dropped 100 points in a game, Tyler muttered “yeah,” but then quickly switched gears and began to question the validity of historical records altogether.

“You think history is a real thing?” Herro asked Ross, who said yes.

Herro pushed back, saying, “Nah, I don’t believe in history … No, I’m deadass.”

Ross, looking visibly surprised and asked if Herro doesn't believe things that happened 200 years ago. He replied with a mere, “Hell no.”

When N3on brought up the moon landing, Herro dismissed that too, saying, "No, I don't believe in that. I don't believe in anything that happened before 1950." A silence filled the room momentarily before all three men burst into laughter, with N3on joking, “Have we been fucking bamboozled?”

“For real, like, how do we know? When did he come to the land or whatever?” Herro said, likely referring to Christopher Columbus’ accidental voyager to the Americas.

“But there's no way of knowing it was really him. Could've been Bob,” N3on quipped. “I’m being deadass.”

As the chat reacted, Ross said people were calling the Miami Heat point guard “based."

“They said they ‘documented it,’” said Herro while reading the chat. “See, y’all believe that. I don’t believe that shit. I never read that shit in school.”

It’s anyone’s guess if Herro was serious about his convictions or if he was merely trolling for the stream.

It goes without saying that evidence, including documents, physical artifacts, eyewitness accounts, and scholarly analysis, exist to prove historical events prior to 1950 did, in fact, happen.
