Irving was asked directly if he was just "trolling" people with his comments, and he didn't have a verbal response, but the hosts were both laughing.
quote:
Eventually, Irving said, "All I wanted to do was to be able to have that open conversation," before going more in depth. Here is Irving's response: “It was all an exploitation tactic. All it did was, it literally (spun) the world — your guys’ world — into a frenzy. And it proved exactly what I thought it would do in terms of how all this works. It created a division, or literally, like, stand up there and let all these people throw tomatoes at me or like, have somebody think that I’m somehow this different intellectual person because I think that, or because I believe that the world is flat and you think the world is round. It created exactly that. It did exactly that, to where it became, like, because I think different, does that ever knock my intellectual capacity? Or the fact that I can think different things than you can? ... Like, do your own research. Don’t come to me and ask me, ‘Do you think the earth is flat?’ I was just like, ‘Bro, at the end the of the day, you’re gonna feel and believe what you wanna feel, but don’t knock my life over here.”

This is one of the stupidest things I've read in awhile.

Reading that made my head hurt. I had to read the sentences like 2 or 3 times a piece.

His explanation makes me think he's dumber than I thought he was when he was a flat-earther.

Yo bro, does me thinking 2+2=7 have anything to do with my intellectual capacity? Like don't come at me, form your own opinion on what 2+2 equals.
He's a fricking moron.

it's amazing to think that you can come out looking worse than believing in flat earth theory, but yeah, he did

Kyrie loves entrenching himself further in holes and requesting trades away from LeGOAT, just no filter

Kyrie is a weird cat. Definitely one of those people that talks in a certain fashion to try to sound smarter than he is.
