Monday wasn’t a good day for Kyrie Irving on Twitter.
As you probably know by now, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard is one of those people who believes that Earth, in all its spherical, life-sustaining beauty, actually is flat. Well, Monday’s solar eclipse provided further ammunition for people who love to rag on Irving and his fellow flat-Earth truthers.
Check out some of the shots “Uncle Drew” took on the Twitterverse:

I wonder if Kyrie Irving is excited for the #Eclipse? What even is the #flatearther explanation, or do I not want to know?

Hey @KyrieIrving, I hear if you stare at the eclipse the shadows prove the earth is flat. These glasses are just part of the big coverup!

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, intentionally or not, added a little fuel to the fire.

Whether this changes Irving’s mind once and for all remains to be seen. But if not, you can be sure he’ll catch more flack during the next solar eclipse, which supposedly is coming to the United States in 2024.
Of course, Irving could be playing for a new team at that point.
