I don't think that has much to do with this - what separates Kyrie and the average person is not the deleterious mutations but positive athletic-enhancing mutations; the deleterious load would only matter in the extremes and even then I would guess is swamped by the person's particular genetic inheritance (you may have a higher than avg amount of bad mutations but if your parents are both professional athletes you will be a good athlete). Also, the common nerd stereotype goes the opposite way (smart people being unathletic) right? A cursory search shows a weak correlation between IQ and athletic performance but this isn't necessarily due to genetic correlation (smarter people are better at figuring out how to train better). I'm sure the correlation between IQ and conspiracy theory belief is negative but I'm guessing it's only moderately strong (we can all think of counter-examples). Taken together, I'm not really sure these correlations matter much if at all.
