Miami Heat's Tyler Herro Accepts Valentine's Day Request From Young Fan

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is arguably among the most popular players in the NBA.

So he gets a lot of requests from fans on a daily basis.

On Sunday, Herro absolutely made a young fan's day before their game against the Boston Celtics. A young Heat fan arrived during pregame with a sign asking Herro to be her Valentine. Herro responded with a "yes' and gave her the ultimate fan experience before tip-off.

Herro greeted the fan before the fan at courtside. He gave her a handshake and then posed for a photo. By the look on her face, she enjoyed every minute of the experience.

Herro is probably the second-most popular player on the Heat roster behind Jimmy Butler. He often accommodates fan requests during games and at off-the-court events. He is the Heat's second-leading scorer, so he gets a lot of attention.

Herro would have likely been an All-Star this season had he not been slowed down by a sprained ankle that caused him to 18 games in November and early December.

Still, he has continued to contribute this season, helping the Heat remaining in the playoff races in the Eastern Conference. They were No. 7 in the standings entering their game against the Celtics.
