He is obviously not dumb. I do not think you can be dumb and be a world class athlete memorizing multitudes of plays. However, he is not a good role model and this is very concerning.
Aristhothenes proved that not only the world was a sphere but he knew the size of the Earth to within 5 percent of accuracy I believe. This was in 250 BC approximately (forgive me if I do not have the exact dates).
He did this with sticks, foot power and his mind. I doubt 1 in a 100 students these days know who he is, but many know who Kyrie Irving is.
Saying why? constantly like a five year old or being obstinate towards established fact does not equate to scientific inquiry or free thought. This guy is a disgrace to basketball and our educational system. A millionaire who went to Duke.
I would like to sit down with him and explore some of his thinking regarding the theory of gravity and the solar system. Or maybe not.
