Tyler Herro

He became the youngest player in NBA history to score 37+ points in a conference finals game, doing so at age 20 in the 2020 ECF against Boston.

Herro grew up a Milwaukee Bucks fan in suburban Milwaukee and idolized Kobe Bryant — both influences visible in his scoring approach and competitive mentality.

He signed a four-year, $130 million extension in 2022 — one of the largest contracts ever given to a reserve player at the time of signing.

His son Bentley was born in early 2022, and Herro has spoken frequently about how fatherhood changed his perspective on preparation and longevity.
