Grant Williams doesn’t agree with Kyrie Irving that the earth is flat

Grant Williams’s mother has worked for NASA for 25 years, and he’s picked up a lot of knowledge about outer space along the way.

“With my mom, I don’t really think of theories,” Williams told Stadium’s Shams Charania. “I kind of know for sure what’s what. It’s kind of nice to have that mindset.”

One fact Williams, whom the Celtics selected 22nd overall in Thursday’s NBA Draft, knows for sure is that the earth is round. He told Charania that Kyrie Irving’s theory is wrong.

“Kyrie’s ‘Earth is flat theory’ is just scientifically not true,” Williams said.
