To be fair, I’m 90% sure Paul Pierce was kidding, but I guess anything is possible.
Following Kyrie Irving’s apology for spreading Flat-Earth fever, Paul decided to stir up some trouble to make up for it, flooding the internet with odd quotes about how long it would take to fly to distant locations around the world, and how the shape of the Earth may or may not affect those travel times.
“If I get on an airplane and I fly across the country, if the Earth is spinning it shouldn’t take me that long, right? It shouldn’t take me 12 hours to fly to China if the Earth is spinning,” Pierce said.
