I’m sorry to break it to you, but Shaquille O’Neal is apparently a flat-Earther, too. Actually, I’m not sorry at all. I love this NBA narrative so, so much, and I’d like to thank Shaq for breathing more life into it.

Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving was the first NBA player to reveal his flat-Earth beliefs, summarized as such: “Can you really think of us rotating around the sun, and all planets align, rotating in specific dates, being perpendicular with what’s going on with these ‘planets’ and stuff like this?”...

What's the difference between a 360 degree angle and a 0 degree angle?

Nada...

One day, or one year, depending.

0 degrees = 360 degrees = -360 degrees. Same angle. Rotation (or the change in angle) on the other hand is something else.
