Kyrie Irving and the conspiracies he believed in
Kyrie Irving made headlines this season for spreading conspiracies, and it’s been said that his interest in them dates back to his time with the Boston Celtics.
The controversy surrounding the Dallas Mavericks guard began with his reluctance to receive the COVID-19 shot and his outspoken disagreements with New York’s vaccination law. Also, the 30-year-old reposted videos from Alex Jones, who was sentenced to pay $1.44 billion to Sandy Hook families for his advocacy of bogus conspiracies around the school shooting. Irving then tweeted a link to an anti-Semitic movie from 2018 that featured the myth that the Holocaust didn’t happen and a fake remark from Adolf Hitler that said Black people were the genuine children of Israel, which is a prevalent belief among anti-Semites.
There were worries that Jones and he would spend the long, dreary winters in Massachusetts alone at home, binge-watching YouTube. Jones had relocated to Boston to be with him. The flat-Earth hypothesis was brought up with Irving and Jones by someone who was acquainted with Irving at the time. “Alex says, “Man, I don’t know. The shape of the Earth is unknown to us. I’ve been viewing stuff with Kyrie,” the insider affirmed. Kyrie incessantly questioned whether we were certain that it was “constitutionally” circular. Yeah, sh*t, said the conclusion. People genuinely think that. It’s never been totally obvious that Irving does, to be honest. He once apologized publicly to “all the science professors” who approached him saying, “You know I have to reteach my whole curriculum?! “
