Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving is really taking this "new year, new me" mantra to heart. After six years with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Irving is ready to embark on the next chapter of his life with a new look (sans beard), new number (the No. 11 he wore in high school), and a new outlook on the world—literally.
After spending all of last season defending his belief that the earth is flat, Irving has come forward to admit, in the words of Maury, "that was a lie." During an interview on The Toucher and Rich Show on Tuesday, Irving admitted that he was trolling everyone with his flat earth theory.
Irving said:
Irving's trolling (or backpedaling) even got some middle schoolers to believe in the four-time NBA All-Star's flat earth theory. Maybe Shaq and Draymond Green will now publicly announce that they also firmly believe that the world is not flat?
