It was one of the few summers he wasn&#8217;t involved in trade talks. Herro proved his worth by having his best season that included a first NBA All-Star appearance. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_g34k6vg87\">But it hasn&#8217;t stopped Herro from making public appearances. He recently had a cameo in the latest Nike commercial for WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu&#8217;s new shoe. The New York Liberty star had plenty folks helping her promote. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ihsld7sy0\">Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash was the lead pitchman in the commercial that debuted Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_okeznfqyo\">Nash is lead in the ad. He is the &#8220;Hoop-Head Handyman&#8221; in &#8220;Steve Nash&#8217;s Hoop Improvement.&#8221; It appears to be a play off the 1990s sitcom Home Improvement starring Tim Allen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_pq3df3ar1\">Nash takes the conversation over to a house under construction by saying, &#8220;Sabrina actually loves working on the interior. Let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s in store for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_qb1qnkxqz\">This is when Herro enters the scene. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_o8l109dul\">Herro then drills open a door, which Nash responds, &#8220;Nice handles Tyler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_i5a61eedx\">Herro then says, &#8220;I learned it from the best, Steve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hoopers get your hard hats. It\u2019s time to go to work. <\/p>\n<p>The Sabrina 3 \u2018Blueprint\u2019 is available now. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hTF7SR0lP3\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/hTF7SR0lP3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nike Basketball (@nikebasketball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nikebasketball\/status\/1948385111910609004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6mlazm8y6\">It doesn&#8217;t end there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_03u6qtuno\">The next cameo is NBA budding star Ausar Thompson of the Houston Rockets, who are now contenders in the Western Conference after acquiring Kevin Durant in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0l4nip84o\">Nash then catches Thompson working on some wooden boards: &#8220;Watch those boards, Ausar,&#8221; Nash says. It leads to Thompson saying, &#8220;Come on, Steve, I always do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_mr5k3ywbr\">The commercial is likely the last down time for Herro before he begins prepping for the season. The Heat begin training camp in late September. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5eym301wb\">MORE BACK IN THE DAY COVERAGE<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_uw4gamr0t\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1fly2ec\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/backinthedaynba\/author-sheds-light-on-two-often-questioned-wilt-chamberlain-feats-01k0w49p6e3r\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN shines light on Wilt Chamberlain<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_flfhhh128\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1fly2ec\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/backinthedaynba\/nba-hall-of-famer-drops-bold-claim-about-steph-curry-01k0se81581b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA great shows love for Steph Curry<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lu6usadmt\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1fly2ec\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/backinthedaynba\/president-obama-raises-eyebrows-with-all-time-nba-starting-five-01k0s9zmbzbe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">President Obama gives All-Time NBA starting five<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miami Heat star has been relatively quiet this offseason.
