NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal not ready to accept that the Earth is round – although he’s not denying it either.
On Aug. 23, the NBA legend, 50, appeared to reaffirm his support for the theory that the Earth is flat when asked whether he still believed his controversial 2017 comments.
“It’s a theory,” he said during an appearance on the Kyle & Jackie O Show. “It’s just a theory, they teach us a lot of things.”
The interviewers seemed a but stunned by Shaq’s comments, Media Take Out observed.
The craziness starts around 9:00:
Shaq then doubled down on his claims, sharing that he “flew straight” from the United States to Australia right before appearing on the radio show. “I flew 20 hours today, not once did I go this way,” he explained, before adding that his plane “didn’t tip over” or “go upside down” during the trip.
Pushing back on the theory, the show’s host Kyle Sandiland questioned how someone could fly to the other side of the world in different directions, to which Shaq replied, “It’s still a straight line, you don’t go under.”
And if you thought that was crazy, Shaq then appears to also states that he doesn’t believe it spins.
“You know they say the world is spinning?” he asked Kyle and his radio co-host Jackie Henderson. “I’ve been living on a house on a lake for 30 years, not once did the lake rotate to the left or right. If we’re spinning so fast, why are we dizzy?”
Shaq admitted that while he likes listening to these different beliefs, “it’s not about figuring them out, or he’s wrong or he’s right—it’s just a theory.”
