Kyrie Irving Will Get His Brain Picked By A New Teammate About Whether The Earth Is Flat

Before Kyrie Irving was the hottest name on the trade block, he was rarely at the center of attention during his NBA career. Sure, he was a former No. 1 overall pick, but Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers struggled until LeBron James and Kevin Love came to town in the summer of 2014.

But at one point during this past season, Irving attracted a ton of attention for being a flat earther. James and Draymond Green both defended Irving’s statement in different ways, while Adam Silver straight up disagreed with him. This even led to Shaquille O’Neal revealing that he, too, believes that the world is flat, and not because he is a fan of Thomas Friedman.

Now that Irving is on the Celtics, one of his new teammates is excited to discuss the shape of the earth. Second-year wing Jaylen Brown told the press that he’s ready to have this conversation with his new All-Star point guard.

The silliest part of this is that Brown — who is among the more intellectually curious people in the NBA and was actually knocked for potentially being “too smart for the league” during the draft process — seems to have an open mind on the subject. He told reporters that while he’s not ready to make a comment on the shape of the earth, “my eyes have told me that the world may appear to be flat” and that “Kyrie may very well have a point.”

Of course, Brown readily admits that his eyes could be deceiving him. After this video hit Twitter, Brown decided to have some fun.

No matter what Brown believes, it would be extremely cool if someone could live stream this conversation if it ever ends up happening.
