NEW ORLEANS — An unexpected storyline emerging at All-Star weekend in New Orleans: NBA players discussing whether they believe the world is round or flat.

A recent Kyrie Irving comment — mentioning his belief that the world is flat — spurred the conversation. A batch of players were asked about it. Warriors forward Draymond Green didn’t disagree.

“I don’t know,” Green said. “I haven’t done enough research. But it may be flat.”

Forget all the scientific evidence or the images, from space, of a round Earth.

“Who’s to say that picture is telling the truth?” Green asked. “I can make a round picture with my iPhone today and make it look round. So I don’t know? I’m not saying I think it’s flat or round. I don’t know. But it could be.”

Well then.
