Shaquille O’Neal and his immense stature are grooving with Kyrie Irving’s theory that the Earth is flat.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ All-Star Irving made headlines by suggesting the Earth is not round, like his precious basketball, but flat, sort of like a hockey stick.
Since then, a podcast has surfaced in which NBA Hall of Famer Shaq shares his own explanation as to why the Earth is indeed shaped like a pancake.

“It’s true. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. Yes, it is. Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind — what you read, what you see and what you hear. In school, first thing they teach us is,” Shaq said on “The Big Podcast with Shaq” on Feb. 27.
“In school, first thing they teach us is, ‘Oh, Columbus discovered America,’ but when he got there, there were some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking on the peace pipes,” he continued. “So, what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t discover America.”

He then suggested how “I drive from coast to coast, and this s**t is flat to me. I’m just saying. I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it’s flat to me. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle, and all that stuff about gravity, have you looked outside Atlanta lately and seen all these buildings?”
“You mean to tell me that China is under us? China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat,” he concluded his statement.
