Kyrie: "I'm sorry for saying the Earth is Flat"

[duke79]

At one point in his adult life, he actually thought the world was flat? And he went to Duke? Awesome...

LOL, my thought exactly! I wonder, for curiosity's sake, how many incoming freshman students at Duke (over the last 15 years or so) believe the earth is flat?

I'm not sure what is going on in Kyrie's head (I truly hope that this whole "episode" has been a joke!) but I think this is NOT a good look for Kyrie.

I've actually had some friends rib me by saying...."didn't you go to the same school as Kyrie Erving"?

They managed to audibly convey the misspelling? Impressive.

Frankly, I'm disappointed that Kyrie recanted. The celebrity "Flat Earthers" always provide me a good opportunity to bring up the Lizardman's Constant.

Ken Denlinger, as I recall.

I still have the T-Shirt. Priceless. (But rarely flat; usually a bit wrinkled...)

Kyrie could not keep a straight face the first time he said it. I don't that he believed a single word. He just took so much heat for saying it that the joke wasn't funny any more.

I live in North Carolina and looking east I can see Mount Everest!
I was going to walk over there one day and climb it! Oh Well! Must be a mirage!
Kind of like I was also told there was university in Chapel Hill!
What is this world coming to being round and a college with no class!
Go DUKE!

Did you mean this is "NOT a good look" for you? as an alum... ;-)

Did you mean a college with no class, or a college with no classes? Interestingly, both descriptions apply.

Thanks for the link. I was not familiar with the Lizardman's Constant, but now I am a believer. And if the earth wasn't flat, those flying lizards would be launching themselves into space.

Disappointing as I thought y'all might be referring to this guy:

Shake it off, Kyrie.
