Just over a year after then-Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving dropped his infamous flat-earth theory, another Cavaliers' hot take is now making the rounds.

Jordan Clarkson, whom Cleveland acquired at the trade deadline, revealed on Monday's episode of the "Road Trippin'" podcast that he believes dinosaurs were actually domesticated millions of years back.

"I believe that - this is gonna get a little crazy, I'm gonna take y'all a little left on this," Clarkson said. "OK, so y'all know how we got dogs and stuff, right? So, I think it was bigger people in the world before us, and, like, the dinosaurs was they pets."

When asked how big these people would have been - some dinosaurs are theorized to have been around 130 feet long - Clarkson remarked that they had to be "three times bigger than them." That would potentially put these yet-to-be discovered human relatives at nearly 400 feet tall.

Coincidentally, the "Road Trippin'" podcast, which is hosted by former Cavaliers players Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, was also where Irving first revealed his flat-earth assumption.
