On Monday, new Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> star guard Tyler Herro<\/a> seemingly took a subtle shot at his former team\u2019s famed \u201cHeat Culture\u201d mantra.<\/p>\n In appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio<\/a>, Herro revealed that new Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins\u2019 workouts were a bit more intense than Erik Spoelstra\u2019s. He was a bit surprised by it since the \u201cHeat Culture\u201d was the only thing he knew about since entering the league.<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, it surprised me. It\u2019s been just as intense,\u201d Herro said via The Athletic\u2019s Mike Prada<\/a>. \u201cI hear about different organizations and such, but being with Taylor Jenkins, I feel like he\u2019s just as intense, if not even more.\u201d<\/p>\n \n When asked by co-host Brian Scalabrine if the Miami Heat<\/a> are the only franchise that preaches hard work, Herro said:<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I was told when I was there,\u201d which garnered laughs from Herro, Scalabrine and co-host Frank Isola.<\/p>\n Tyler Herro Spent 7 Seasons in Miami<\/p>\n After one season at Kentucky<\/a>, Tyler Herro was drafted 13th overall by the Miami Heat in 2019. Herro worked his way into becoming the 2022 Sixth Man of the Year and an All-Star in 2025.<\/p>\n However, Herro\u2019s tenure with the Heat was filled with trade speculations. His name was linked to multiple trade rumors for superstars before finally getting sent to the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason as part of the Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> deal.<\/p>\n Herro spent seven years in Miami, though it ended with a trade, as well as a punch from former teammate Bam Adebayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n According to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>, Herro and Adebayo got into an altercation in Las Vegas back in July amid the Summer League.<\/p>\n It will be interesting to see how intense the games will be between the Bucks and Heat this season. They face each other four times, twice in Milwaukee and twice in Miami.<\/p>\n Antetokounmpo is expected to get cheered in Milwaukee, though the same can\u2019t be said for Herro when he returns to South Beach.<\/p>\n Giannis Loving Heat Culture<\/p>\n \n While Tyler Herro is taking some subtle shots at \u201cHeat Culture,\u201d Giannis Antetokounmpo is fully embracing it in his first season in Miami.<\/p>\n Speaking to Yianni Kourakis of WPBF 25 News<\/a>, The Greek Freak was impressed with the whole \u201cHeat Culture\u201d idea.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very impressed. I like their attitude and the way they approach practice and the day,\u201d Giannis said. \u201cIt\u2019s been amazing. People talk about Heat culture, but until you come in and witness it first hand, you don\u2019t really understand. Now that I\u2019m here, I understand why they always play hard and compete.\u201d<\/p>\n The two-time MVP is focused on helping the Heat return to the playoffs and possibly bring a championship.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJuan Paolo David<\/a> Juan Paolo David is a sports journalist covering basketball for Heavy.
