NEW ORLEANS — To pass the pre-All-Star-Game doldrums, NBA players have fielded a slew of non-basketball questions.
Perhaps the most amusing queries have centered on the recent revelation that Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving believes the Earth is flat. During his media scrum Saturday, Warriors forward Draymond Green didn’t dismiss the idea that scientific evidence proving the Earth is round is all part of a big conspiracy.
“I don’t know,” Green said. “I haven’t done enough research, but it may be flat.”
Unlike Denver forward Wilson Chandler, who tweeted Friday that he agrees with Irving’s Earth-is-flat theory, Green isn’t quite ready to say the world is a giant disc surrounded by ice.
