Celtics legend Paul Pierce was not happy that Kyrie Irving apologized for his flat earth comments. He then said if the earth was round and spinning at 1,000 miles per hour it should only take an hour to fly to Russia.
So @KyrieIrving apologized for saying the earth was flat (shoutout all the science teachers), but then @PaulPierce34…oh boy… pic.twitter.com/cRZOACFuFL

Although the demonstration with the balled up piece of paper and pen is very compelling, Pierce lost me when he called it the earth’s accent instead of axis.
I have a feeling I’m not the only one who was close to being convinced by Pierce’s quick, yet highly sophisticated, scientific argument based on his in-depth years of research.
