Kyrie Irving had a flat Earth prop at his Nike event. Seriously

I guess they’re really leaning into this

Kyrie Irving is the NBA’s best ball handler and he’s most definitely the league’s most vocal flat Earth truther. And Nike seems to be leaning pretty hard into it, too.

At a recent Nike event, Irving had his sneaker featured in a display along with some type of mechanism that supposedly proves the Earth is flat.

Wait, what?

Call me sleep, or whatever the opposite of “woke” in this context is, but I have no clue what this is proving. It looks like there’s a picture of the Earth on some sort of spinning module, but WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

This is incredible. Not only do we have this, but there’s an “All Seeing Eye” on the pull-tab of his shoe.

Irving says he wants to challenge people to find their own truths, but this is just going overboard. I’m about done with all this and hopefully, at some point, Irving is, too.
