Kyrie Irving gets it.

You think he's stupid, but what if he's really just trolling you or trying to get you to think?

Kyrie went on teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye's podcast, and expressed his apparent belief that the Earth is flat.

"If you really think about it from a landscape of the way we travel, the way we move, and the fact that, can you really think of us rotating around the sun, and all planets aligned, rotating in specific dates," Irving explained.

It immediately set social media ablaze.

For some, it was a startling revelation. How could a well-traveled, (partially) Duke-educated professional hold such a seemingly antiquated view?

While the critics came out by the droves, Irving's boldness made athletes such as Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler and Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, thought not as adamantly, feel comfortable enough to reveal they're flat-Earthers too.

Fellow All-Star Warriors guard Draymond Green admitted he hasn't done enough research to land on a position, concerning the matter.

Saturday, during media availability for Sunday's NBA All-Star game in New Orleans, Irving added a little more clarity and insight in light of the hubbub that proceeded his comments.

"I don't even know if you can call it news. There's so many real things going on, things that are going that are shaping our lives." Irving said. "I think sometimes it gets skewed because of who we are in the basketball world. (It's like) 'Aww man. What does he actually think? or 'I don't like Kyrie anymore because he thinks that the world is flat.' or he think the world can't be round. You know?

He continued: "I know the science. I know everything possible, not everything possible, but the fact that that can actually be real news. People have actually asked me that, 'It's a social phenomenon. What do you think about it? Are you gonna try to protect your image?' It really doesn't matter to me. The fact that it's a conversation, I'm glad that it got people talking."

One thing is for sure. He's getting tired of people asking him about it.
