You can but it wont be a rectangular or circular map, it would be like peeling and orange and laying the peelings flat
We learned this in grades shool.
The best way to do it is to make multiple slices from top & bottom about 90% to the middle.
This allows the peel to have tips/points at thd poles & very little distortion in the middle.
