DOCTOR OF SCIENCE AND famous basketball player Shaquille O'Neal: Land of the flat!

Shaquille O'Neal has become the latest celebrity to join the company of "flat earth", claiming that our minds are manipulated to accept "a lie that the earth is round"

A great man and offered "proof" of their claims.

Shaq was speaking on his podcast this week rejected any evidence that would prove that the Earth was round. When satellite images show that the Earth is round, Shaq was immediately rejected this evidence, saying, "Oh, satellite imagery - that can draw or make. ' "That is true. The earth is flat. The earth is flat. Yes it is. Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind - what you read, what you see and what you hear. At school, the first thing they taught us: 'Oh, Columbus discovered America', but when he arrived, there were already dark-skinned people with long hair who smoked a pipe. So what does that tell you? Columbus did not discover America.

"Well, listen, I'm driving from coast to coast of America, and that's all me straight. I'm just saying. I'm driving from Florida to California all the time, and it's all just for me. I do not go up and down at right angles, and all these things about gravity, you go outside of Atlanta recently and saw all these buildings? You say that China is below us? China's beneath us? It is not. The earth is flat. "

Yahoo Sports reported: The star basketball team Cleveland Cavaliers Kyrie Irving was the first NBA player who discovered his beliefs about the flat earth: "Can you really think that we rotate around the sun and all the planets are aligned, rotating in a certain period around the Sun, and what happens to these 'worlds'? "

Shortly thereafter, the Denver Nuggets basketball lap, Wilson Chandler and basketball attacker Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green supported Irving's theory of the flat earth, explaining further that NASA photographs of the planet from space everyone can manipulate and forge on their phones and computers.

"These are all very serious things that are NBA players say," said the president of the NBA Federation Adam Silver.
