Dennis Schroder’s post-Lakers look should get Celtics fans hyped

As it turns out, it isn’t just Jayson Tatum who’s been on an offseason transformation journey for the Boston Celtics. Based on a recent photo he shared on Instagram, new Celtics recruit Dennis Schroder is also following suit.


Schroder has been working out in the summer and he’s proud to show off the results (h/t Peter Dewey of Lakers Daily):

Check out those abs. Is that a six-pack or an eight-pack? It is also clear that Schroder isn’t missing any leg days in the gym. Take a look at that left thigh. I mean, that looks like the thighs of a soccer player, to be honest.


There’s no doubt that that Schroder has been diligent with his workouts in the offseason. After his contract debacle with the Los Angeles Lakers, the 27-year-old is now extremely motivated to prove himself with the Celtics in the upcoming season. He’s also on a contract year, so he will definitely be doing everything in his power to improve his stock in the campaign ahead.

The good news for Schroder is that people have already counted him out at this point. He’s been the butt of many jokes, and most folks believe that the Celtics guard won’t be able to recover from a terrible decision that cost him nearly $80 million. He’s well aware of all the slander and is using it as motivation for what’s ahead.

Dennis Schroder's campaign to let fans choose his new number backfired on him

Dennis Schroder is learning the hard way that fans will never miss out on an opportunity to troll you.

The new Boston Celtics guard decided to let the fans choose his new jersey number for the Boston Celtics next season. Schroder’s customary No. 17 jersey is retired in Boston in honor of the late John Havlicek.

What Schroder did not anticipate however was that he would get clowned by fans of Hannover 96. The German soccer club is archrivals with Eintracht Braunschweig, the soccer club from Schroder’s hometown of Braunschweig, Germany. Hannover 96 fans immediately flooded Schroder with votes for the No. 96.

Schroder acknowledged the gag by writing, “As you can probably imagine, coming from Braunschweig, number 96 is not necessarily my favorite number.” The 27-year-old guard left in No. 96 for the final round of voting though along with other top choices Nos. 8, 71, 80, and 84. The fans had actually selected No. 38 as their first choice, but that number already belongs to Schroder’s Celtics teammate Sam Hauser.

Voting closes on Sept. 17, at which point we shall know if Schroder will be forced to sport the number of his soccer nemeses next year. Professional athletes have gone this route with fan engagement before. But Schroder’s may be the only one that has backfired this spectacularly.
