To make things even more comical, Draymond went on record to say it's possible that it's flat.... you can't make this stuff up!I wish Virgin Airlines had space travel. I'd start a GoFundMe account just so poor Mr. Irving could go far enough into space to see the curvature of the Earth. Can you imagine what the media would have done with this if one of our guys had said it?![]()

Kyrie Irving believes the Earth is flat. This qualifies as news, right?

we live in an age of alternative facts and personalized realities, where you can safely and comfortably believe whatever the f*** you want, regardless of what the disciplined study of math and science reveals to us, or, in the case of "flat-earthers," what the simple observation of the curvature in the horizon line should reveal to us. and this is no longer a "kids these days" kind of complaint; it's a growing problem that defies and transcends age, gender, and ethnicity. as a teacher of critical thinking, i've had students that span generations all succumb to the temptation of confirmation bias, which would be a correctable error if they were willing to pursue a course of fact-checking and cross-reference. often, they're not. it pains me that a technology as profoundly transformative as the internet has not democratized the spread of knowledge, but instead has fractured the receipt of information into millions of cozy little echo chambers. anyway, my apologies for the sidebar. soapbox dismounted.
Very well said.

So, word on the street is that Mitch Kupchak has been fired, and Jim Buss has been relieved of his duty, in large part because Jim Buss rejected the Kings' trade proposal of Cousins to the gd lakers, without clearing it with, or even notifying, his sister Jeannie.
Damn! You know that the Kings made a bad trade, when the trade was so bad, they're getting other GM's fired, for not trying harder to fleece 'em!
Will somebody please save the Pelicans from themselves? Anthony Davis is wasted on that team while they flutter around throwing away picks and accomplishing nothing.

Sixers are finalizing a trade to Ersan Ilyasova to Atlanta for Tiago Splitter and two second-round picks, league sources tell @TheVertical.
So does this mean if the ASG had been held in Atlanta we might have been able to get Spliiter?
Ben Simmons's foot problem appears to be much worse than the Sixers insisted. Not going to play at all this season.
Between his foot and Embiid seemingly teetering on the edge of shattering into a million pieces, the Sixers are in a much more precarious position than most up-and-coming teams
That's a lowkey great signing for the Pelicans, if Jack can still play.Per Woj; The Pelicans just signed Jarrett Jack to a 10-day deal.
I imagine playing with BoogieBrow is going to open a lot of wide open threes for him. good situation to land in for any shooter.
Omri with just the worst luckPelicans just waived Casspi.
That's cold. They were talking him up during the game.Pelicans just waived Casspi.
Pelicans just waived Casspi.
