Kyrie Irving’s belief that the earth is flat comes up everywhere he goes and the NBA All-Star Game is no exception.

One fan trolled the Celtic on Sunday night during the event by showing up in an Irving jersey with “Flat Earth” scrolled across the back.

Irving talked about the theory during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, further explaining the comments he made on a podcast in 2016 about the shape of the earth.

“On that podcast I was just really like, ‘Man what’s going on within our world?’ and just a whole bunch of truth and conspiracy,” Irving told Kimmel. “I was just like, ‘Whoa, this is too much for me. And then I come out and say that and then, whoo, the reaction it got.”

He also confirmed he is “intellectually stable.”

Kimmel gave Irving a basketball painted like a globe and told him to “ponder the potential realities of the world and its possible roundness.”
