Amazingly, Kyrie Irving has managed to convince another sentient human the Earth might be flat. Giants backup quarterback Geno Smith announced his membership to the flat-Earth club over the weekend, admonishing doubters for not doing their research.
"I been studying this whole flat earth vs globe thing... and I think I may be with Kyrie on this... b4 you judge do some HW but what do you guys think?," Smith asked.
According to Smith, one of the central reasons for his refusal to buy into settled science is the existence of Photoshop. Due to photo editing software, Smith says he needs to more than just pictures to believe the Earth is round.
"In this day and age with photoshop and everything else you trusting a picture... any video footage?," he tweeted.
Of course, there is plenty of video footage of Planet Earth. The International Space Station even has a live stream.
Curiously, Smith appeared to back off his claim minutes later, explaining he is only questioning the Earth's shape.
"I find it funny how you all assume I believe Earth is flat lol I just think you guys should have an open mind because as we know a lot of the "truths" that we thought were true actually aren't," he said.
Irving, for his part, doesn't seem to be wavering on his flat-Earth belief, which he first introduced during last year's All-Star Break. The Celtics point guard had a flat-Earth prop at his Nike sneaker event last month.
