Shaquille O’Neal doubles the “theory” that the Earth is flat
Shaquille O’Neal is still not convinced that the Earth is round – especially since his plane was “going straight” and not diagonally.
“It’s theory, it’s just theory, it teaches us a lot of things,” commented O’Neal when asked in “The Kyle & Jackie About Show” if he had insisted on the comments he made in 2017 that the earth is flat.
He then used his recent flight from the US to Australia as an example to reinforce his scientific theories.
“I was flying 20 hours today, never once did I go this way,” he said, gesturing obliquely. “I was flying straight” and then added that he “did not roll over” or “did not fall over” during the trip.
Radio host Kyle Sandiland asked how you can go to the other side of the world in different directions.
“It’s still a straight line,” said the former 50-year-old former athlete, “you don’t give up.”
The NBA legend – which has no degrees – also shared her doubts as to whether the Earth was actually spinning.
“You know they say the world turns? I have lived in a house by the lake for 30 years, never once has the lake turned left or right, ”he explained.
O’Neal added that he likes to listen to theories: “It’s not about figuring them out, or they’re wrong or they’re right – it’s just a theory.”
Former Miami Heat player has talked about his flat earth theories earlier when he spoke with co-host John Kincade on “Great Podcast with Shaq” saying, “It’s true. The earth is flat.
“Listen, there are three ways to manipulate your mind – what you read, what you see and what you hear,” he shared. “At school, the first thing they teach us is,” Oh, Columbus discovered America, “but when he got there there were a few fair-skinned people with long hair smoking on the pipes of peace. So what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t discover America.
He continued, “I drive coast to coast and this shit is flat to me. I’m just talking. I go from Florida to California all the time and this is flat for me. I don’t go up and down 360 degrees, and all that gravity stuff, have you recently looked out of Atlanta and seen all these buildings? Are you telling me China is below us? China is below us? This is not. The world is flat. “
However, in a later interview, O’Neal seemingly departed from his theories.
“The earth is flat” said The Washington Post. “Would you like to hear my theory? The first part of the theory is, kidding, idiots.
“So know that when Shaquille O’Neal says something, I am 80 percent making a joke, and it’s a joke. And 20 percent of the time, I’m serious. But when I am serious, you will know.
O’Neal is currently in Australia – also known as the Land Down Under – for a speech.
