Shaquille O'Neal says the Earth is FLAT in bizarre rant dismissing 'all that gravity stuff'
  • The Hall of Famer made the claim during an episode of his podcast last month

  • 'So, listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this s*** is flat to me,' the big man said

  • Shaq doubled down by saying satellite imagery could be 'drawn and made up'

  • The claim was in defense of Kyrie Irving - who said the same thing last month
    Guess all his free throws actually entered another dimension at the top of their arc and must therefore be deducted from the historical scores?
    It does explain why he was such a lousy free throw shooter...

    #1 "Copernicus? Cracka, get serious!"
    Shaq's takin' a knee. "You're delirious."
    Diversity's rainbow?
    O'Neal on the downlow?
    "Not even a teensy bit curious."

    #2 This is another example of why we should be skeptical of claims by famous people and instead do our own research.

    You can easily prove the earth is round by measuring the shadow of a stick pointed upward (except right near the poles where nobody lives).

    #3 A large cohort of people believe anything he says, cause they "wear bassetbaw shoes just like his" paid for with taxpayer dollars.

    #4 Assuming this was not some Shaq sized chain pulling, it's just one more example of "Weird things athletes say."

    Of course this maps into all celebrities commenting on things outside their area of expertise.

    #5 Athletes. They earn college degrees.

    #6 I'm not believing anything until I hear it from Hank 'flip over' Johnson (Congress D-GA)

    #7 I have "Diversity Awareness" (Advocacy) indoctrination today. This might be a good story to bring up.

    #8 Our so called "elites" are a very pathetic group of people.

    #9 In bizarro world the earth is a cube. This model may be the one Shaq adopted.

    #10 If anyone knows anything about overcoming gravity, it's the Shaq.

    #12 Another great example of why its so instructive when celebrities wish to educate the rest of us on things like "diversity". They're clearly brighter and more contemplative than the rest of us.

    #13 I'm hoping Shaq is trolling because this is pretty funny.

    On the other hand, the brother has a point since gravity was invented by a dead white guy.

    #14 How does Shaq feel about GW/CC? Little green men working under the ice in Antarctica?

    #16 Shaq left LSU early for the big NBA bucks. I saw a PR ad not long ago with him saying he went back and got his degree, because he promised his mama he would. He's always seemed to me to be a pretty good guy and role model to the kids. Hoping this this is just him goofing around. (Too bad Wilt was his free throw model...)

    #17 Last time I fell down it was pretty flat.
