Though he recently revealed that his flat Earth theories were simply a way to troll the media, it appears that Irving isn’t entirely convinced that the Earth is round. He explained the reasoning behind his thoughts to Auriemma:

“The whole intent behind it, Coach, it wasn’t to bash science,” he said. “It wasn’t to like have the intent of starting a rage and be seen as this insane individual. When I started seeing comments and things about universal truths that I had known, like I had questions.”

“When I started actually doing research on my own and figuring out that there is no real picture of Earth, not one real picture of Earth — and we haven’t been back to the moon since 1961 or 1969 — it becomes like conspiracy, too.”

But what drove Irving crazy was the fact that people classified him differently as an intellectual on account of his desire to have an open discussion about the topic.

“The separation that I can’t stand is because I think one particular way … then there’s a tirade of comments of who I am character-wise,” he said. “The only intent was for people to open up and do their own research. It wasn’t to, ‘OK, let me figure out and go against science. Let me go against what I’ve been told is right, and all this stuff.’ The only intent was just to wake up and do your our research.”

“Instead of just assuming something that’s been told to you — because I’ve been told a lot in terms of my history, and facts and particular facts, and it’s been completely false,” he continued. “I just wanna open up and have that conversation. I wanted to just ask other individuals, like do you really think this actually happened? I just wanna know. Because I don’t know either.”

He should take a knee during the national anthem, to get a conversation going about important issues...like if the earth is round or not.

He's starting to sound more and more like Jaden Smith. How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

Can this Flat-Earther please SHUT THE HELL UP and FOCUS ON LEADING THE CELTICS TO CHAMPIONSHIPS? God damn no one cares about his political philosophy or his proclivity to be provocative or whatever intent he may have regarding this, he's portraying himself as a Tard with this nonsense-SJW millennial stuff

Well, he is an idiot.

This isn't just assuming.

Why do morons have such a loud voice? Compensating?

This is what you get when you give someone with zero education a platform to express every idea that pops into their head.

This sums up exactly what is happening in the US right now. People are fighting over unequivocal facts.
