Is Kyrie Irving trolling us again or is he for real?
The Celtic guard already apologized for taking his flat earth joke too far. But was he really joking? The internet is buzzing again.
On Thursday, the team boarded a flight to Indiana, where they'll play in Game 3 of their first-round matchup against the Pacers on Friday.
Irving was photographed climbing the stairs of the plane, carrying his red Nike SB slides, his brown leather messenger bag ... and a large, hard cover copy of National Geographic's Family Reference Atlas of the World.
In 2017, Irving frustrated many in the sports and science world after saying he thought the Earth was flat. He later appeared on Geno Auriemma's podcast "Holding Court," to say he also believed there was no real picture of the Earth.
"The whole intent behind it, Coach, it wasn't to bash science," Irving 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 ... We haven't been back to the moon since 1961 or 1969 _ it becomes like conspiracy, too."
