I’m not against anyone that thinks it’s flat. “I’m not against anyone that thinks the Earth is round. “I do research on both sides,” Irving said at the time. But then he told The New York Times in early June of this year that he was not completely sure whether the Earth was flat or round. Irving indicated in the days and months that followed the podcast that he initially made the remarks to promote conversation and prove a point how stories in this social-media age can spread rapidly. “He may have taken some different courses.” “Kyrie and I went to the same college,” Silver said then. It became a major story and even NBA Commissioner Adam Silver - who, like Irving, went to Duke - was asked to offer his opinion. This whole saga started in February 2017, when Irving questioned whether the Earth is flat on a podcast that came out shortly before All-Star weekend that year in New Orleans. Irving said he’s since learned certain thoughts are best kept in “intimate conversations.” “To all the science teachers, everybody coming up to me like, `You know I’ve got to reteach my whole curriculum?’ I’m sorry,” Irving said, as the room attending his session laughed. Speaking Monday at the Forbes Under 30 summit in Boston, the flat-Earth topic that Irving inserted himself into last year was discussed - and the All-Star guard said he didn’t realize the effect that his claim would have once it went public. “I’m sorry,” the Boston Celtics star said.Īnd with that, Irving made clear that he regrets publicly saying that the Earth is flat. BOSTON (AP) - Kyrie Irving offered a simple message to science teachers Monday.
