After the third wave of fan balloting for All-Star selections did not include Miami Heat stars Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro for a third time, the Heat social media posted a video of various players saying why they belonged.

“If you watch our games, it’s pretty obvious,” Max Strus said. “Those dudes are special. They’re gonna be superstars around the league pretty soon if not already.”

“It’s the bottom line, ‘cause VO said so,” Victor Oladipo said.

“Because they’re the future,” assistant coach Caron Butler said. “It’s as simple as that.”

Udonis Haslem chimed in, jokingly talking about his desires to attend the All-Star game.

“It’s my last year and I’m only gonna go if they go,” Haslem said. “If they don’t go I’m not f****** going. My kids wanna go too.”

Adebayo is averaging 21.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and three assists as one of the most dominant players in the paint this season. He is one of few players consistently scoring without 3-point field goals.

Herro is having his best season as a pro in his first year as a starter. Herro is averaging 20.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He is proving to be more than just a pure shooter, hitting several game-winners this season and orchestrating his team as a point guard.

Heat fans still have time to stake their claims, as All-Star voting ends Jan. 21 for fans.
