Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers says the earth is flat. [View all]

(I originally posted this in Skepticism, Science, and Pseudoscience, but I think it belongs here instead.)

He went to Duke University, and I assume he's traveled in airplanes. Nevertheless...

“This is not even a conspiracy theory. The Earth is flat,” Irving said, urging people to do their research on the matter. The point guard blamed “them” for lying to us but did not clarify who “they” are.

“What it really came down to for me,” Irving explains, “was everything that was particularly thrown in front of me, I had to be like, ‘OK, this is all a facade, this is all something that they ultimately want me to believe in that is true or whether or not or whatever.’”
