Herro answered his questions while looking into the crowd, eventually apologizing for being distracted.
“Just continue to figure out what we can do to get ready for the season,” Herro said.
“Sorry I’m distracted by a fight up there. This is crazy.”
Herro had a huge smile on his face while he watched the fans go at it in the stands.
His interview seemed more concerned with the incident, saying she hoped “That breaks up here soon.”
Even while Herro walked away he still had his eyes locked on the fight.
Video of the brawl was posted on social media and it showed a brutal fight underway for about 30 seconds before security and police intervened.
The NBA isn’t even in the regular season yet, but fans are already riled up and ready to go to war for their teams.
Three men appeared to be caught up in this specific fight, with one woman trying to get in on the action.
Another fan could be seen trying to get between the fight and break it up, but they didn’t have any success until security made their way to the scene.
NBA fans got a good laugh out of the fight and Herro’s reaction, and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Fans in mid season form. We ride,” one fan said.
“During the preseason is crazy,” another fan said.
“Can’t ever say the fan base doesn’t have fight in it,” a third fan said.
“Heat preseason basketball x fighting in the stands – that’s some heat culture right there,” a fourth fan said.
What the new TV deal means for the NBA?
By The U.S. Sun’s Assistant Sports Editor Damian Burchardt.
THE new TV rights deal is promising to be a humongous win for NBA players.
The league is set to more than double the revenue coming from its media partners, pocketing about $6.9 billion per year, which will inevitably lead to a huge salary cap spike in 2025-26.
That is going to send the value of player contracts skyrocketing.
Projected figures suggest we might see the first $100 million-per-year deal being signed soon.
Currently, Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum is projected to earn the highest single-season salary in NBA history, collecting $71.5 million in 2029-30.
If TNT Sports successfully matches one of the offers to maintain its decades-long partnership with the league, hoops fans will be on the winning side too.
The network’s flagship, Inside the NBA, is a one-of-a-kind sports entertainment show, as evidenced by ESPN’s ongoing failure to come up with its own version of the program in recent years.
The NBA wouldn’t be the same without Kenny and Ernie trying to make sense of Shaq and Chuck’s never-ending bickering every Tuesday night.
“That would distract me too,” a fifth fan said.
There is no indication of what started the fight between the fans.
The Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs 120-117 in the preseason game on Tuesday and will start the regular season at home on Wednesday.
The team is rolling out the same core as last year, with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Herro as their big three.
Adebayo was a part of the Team USA gold medal basketball team at the Paris Olympics.
