The Biggest NBA Troll Kevin Hart Once Roasted Kyrie Irving for His ‘Flat Earth Theory’

Posted on by Jack Marks

For All-Star Weekend, the NBA traditionally goes all out, especially on game night. The 2018 version, however, was unique. Everyone was happy with how much Kevin Hart torched the whole All-Star pool. The relationship Kevin Hart has with the NBA has been widely documented and his flat earth comment on Kyrie Irving made us laugh.

The comedian has regularly participated in the annual all-star celebrity game and has been spotted in and around sporting events. In addition, Kevin has conducted several interviews with NBA players. When given the tools and the chance to strike, Kevin Hart will strike without mercy. He was aiming for Kyrie Irving this time.

It thus came as no surprise when he was invited to emcee the NBA All-Star 2018 introductions. He made fun of the players, boy. especially Kyrie Irving. Hart even came up with a flat Earth joke when Kyrie Irving was introduced.

“Can you openly admit that you know the Earth is constitutionally round?” Kyrie said in 2018.

“Like, you know that for sure? Like, I don’t know.”

Irving is one of the most well-liked basketball players in the world, and his NBA jersey is among the best-selling ones. That popularity has sparked a debate: He has questioned the Earth’s roundness several times, and in an interview in 2017 he made his most in-depth remarks to date on the matter, saying that it was still a topic worth discussing. However, it is unclear exactly where Irving sits on the flat vs. round argument based on his statements in prior interviews.

When he made his comments in February 2017, Irving subsequently admitted he was a great fan of conspiracy theories, and the attention he received helped him grasp the “power of voice.” Kyrie Irving later expressed regret for claiming the Earth is flat last year, claiming he was unaware of the impact of his statements.
