Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder never forgets. Tell that to Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving.
After their highly publicized on-court spat last April, Schroder is now saying he will never wear Kyrie shoes ever again. Apparently, the Lakers' explosive point guard has around 30-40 Kyries, but he wants to give them all away.
He won't be throwing them in the trash, though. That is so wasteful anyway. Instead, he will be doing a giveaway to get rid of his Kyries and all things that remind him of the Nets guard.
Kyrie Irving’s sneakers won’t touch Dennis Schroeder’s feet ever again says Lakers PG: “Unfortunately l can’t wear them no more. It’s not possible after what happened in the game.

To recall, Dennis Schroder and Kyrie Irving were both ejected for apparently trash-talking at each other. Things got a little bit chippy between the two, and emotions got the better of them as they continued to jaw at each other.

After the contest, Schroder claimed he didn't know he got a technical foul, adding that he wasn't even aware what Kyrie was talking about.
“I didn’t know at first that we got double technicals when he came up to me. After that, I kept asking him, What he is talking about? And he kept talking, kept talking…Then he got got kicked out, or got the second technical, and I mean I said ‘Bye.’ I don’t even know if I waved at him. I probably did. And then [the official] said, ‘You’re gone, too, because you waved at him.’ And I didn’t even know that I got the first technical when he came up to me,” Schroder told ClutchPoints.
A day after, Irving hinted that Schroder said some derogatory remarks toward him, as the Lakers playmaker used the N-word.
The N-word is a derogatory racial slur!
It will never be…
-a term of endearment
-reclaimed
-flipped
NEVER FORGET ITS FOUL AND TRUE HISTORY!
Throw that N-word out the window, right alongside all of those other racist words used to describe my people.We are not slaves or N’s

It looks like we officially have a beef between Schroder and Irving. Unfortunately, the next time they could meet would be in the NBA Finals—should both the Lakers and Nets make it out of their respective conferences.
