地球是平的？Kyrie Irving 承认自己只是在开玩笑

Kyrie Irving 先前曾语出惊人公开支持「地平说」（Flat-Earth Theory）的理论，引起联盟球员与社会一片譁然，甚至有地理老师抱怨，班上的中学生都不愿相信他，却相信 Kyrie，让他感到十足惶恐。随后，刚加盟 Boston Celetics 在《Toucher and Rich 》的访问节目中，终于承认「地平说」说只是在向外界开玩笑，更表示这是个针对社会的实验，想知道从他口中讲出这样荒谬的言论，会造成什么影响。

“Look, look. Here it is. All I want to do is be able to have that open conversation. It was all an exploitation tactic. It literally spun the world — your guy’s world — it spun it into a frenzy and proved exactly what I thought it would do in terms of how all this works. It created a division, or, literally stand up there and let all these people throw tomatoes at me, or have somebody think I’m somehow a different intellectual person because I believe that the earth is flat and you think the world is round. It created exactly that.

It became like, because I think different, does that knock my intellectual capacity or the fact that I can think different things than you? That was the intent behind it. Do your own research, don’t come to me and ask me. At the end of the day, you’re going to feel and believe the way you want to feel. But don’t knock my life over that.

When I do something, I know my intent. And it proved what I thought it would.”

这番言论成功引起了不少回响，连新队友 Jaylen Brown 都倾向支持 Kyrie 的说法，想知道更多有关 Kyrie 的消息欢迎点此了解。
