According to Kyrie Irving, his assertion about the earth being flat was merely just an elaborate “exploitation tactic.”
In a recent interview with Toucher & Rich on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Irving was asked about a view that he expressed earlier in 2017 that the world is flat. Here are his quotes in response:
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.
