Kyrie Irving has gone from declaring that the earth is flat to now perpetuating a much more dangerous senti- ment.
The Brooklyn Nets guard recently started following and “liking” posts from an ac- count on Instagram that is pushing an anti-vaccine stance. The account has claimed that “secret societies” are behind the COVID-19 vac- cine and are trying to use them as part of a “plan for Satan” to connect black peo- ple to a master computer.

JEFFREY JORDAN Michael Jordan’s son,
Jeffrey, has been accused of felony assault, according to a report.
TMZ Sports reports that Jeffrey suffered injuries while at a bar in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Friday night. Jeffrey apparently fell and hit his head while at the Casa Amigos bar in Scottsdale.
TMZ Sports reports that Jordan became combative as security tried to drag him away to receive medical atten- tion.
Scottsdale police officers happened to be nearby for an- other matter and were asked to come assist. They deter- mined there was a medical issue not criminal issue, so an ambulance was called to take Jordan to the hospital.
At the hospital, Jordan is accused of assaulting the staff. A report for felony aggravated assault was taken, though Jordan has not been arrested or charged.
Jordan’s people told TMZ that the young man was confused and disoriented fol- lowing his fall.
Shaq Is Retiring From Celebrity Status: ‘Out Of Their Mind’
Don’t call Shaquille O’Neal a “celebrity.”
Although the Lakers leg- end has a stacked NBA re- sume and booming broadcast career (including countless commercials and brand deals), O’Neal wants to be re- membered for his kindness before anything else.
“These celebrities are going freaking crazy and I don’t want to be one. I de- nounce my celebrity-ness today. I’m done with it,” O’Neal told The Post, while discussing his new campaign with Kellogg’s.
“I don’t want to be in that category. Celebrities are crazy, they really are. Don’t call me that anymore. These

people are out of their freak- ing mind with how they treat people, what they do, what they say. That’s never been me. I never want to be looked at like that.”
The four-time champion has found a different way into the spotlight with his random acts of kindness, which he said he tries to do at least twice per week.
