"Kyrie Irving believes the Earth is flat and is saying other people are living in a Fantasy??": NBA Twitter rips apart Nets' star for his rebuttal towards Stephen A Smith

Nets star Kyrie Irving gets roasted by NBA Twitter for his reply to Stephen A Smith regarding his upcoming contract extension 

The Brooklyn Nets shook the NBA world several times in the last year and a half. Last January, they brought James Harden to the already existing duo of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. This year, they were forced to trade him, went from the #2 seed to barely getting a play-in spot, and got swept in the first round.

All this has led to people questioning the future for the Brooklyn duo. With Kevin Durant signed till 2026 and Kyrie Irving’s free agency coming up, there have been a lot of talks. One of the names that has been heavily against giving Kyrie a deal is Stephen A Smith. The ESPN analyst doesn’t trust Irving at all, and he hasn’t tried to even conceal the same.

NBA Twitter fires back at Kyrie Irving for his ‘Fantasy’ comment

Kyrie Irving is an interesting personality. While everyone loves what he does on the court, often Kyrie is disliked because of his antics off the court. Uncle Drew has strong beliefs, which arent scientifically accurate always. He’s part of the infamous flat earth group.

After his post, Kyrie got trolled on Twitter big time.
