Chris Paul took a shot at Scott Foster, saying he'd never have dinner with the NBA referee, after a long history of disagreements on the court.
## What happened?
Chris Paul appeared on the "Pat McAfee Show" and discussed his issues with NBA officials, particularly Scott Foster.
The topic came up when Pat McAfee joked about Paul and Foster having dinner together.
## Why it matters for Chris Paul
Paul's response was quick, shutting down the idea of a dinner meeting with Foster, highlighting their strained relationship.
The two have a long history of butting heads, with Paul being ejected from a game in 2023 after receiving two straight technical fouls from Foster.
## What's behind the feud?
Paul's record in playoff games officiated by Foster is 3-17, fueling accusations of bias against the point guard.
Foster has been a target of criticism from Paul, who has expressed his frustration with the referee's calls in the past.
And Paul has made it clear that his dislike for Foster is personal, stemming from an incident involving his son.
But the specifics of that incident have not been publicly disclosed.
So the tension between Paul and Foster continues, even in Paul's retirement.
Paul has been open about his issues with Foster, saying "We had a situation some years ago, and it's personal".
The NBA has been aware of the situation, and it's been discussed in meetings.
## What comes next?
It's unlikely that Paul and Foster will put their differences aside anytime soon, given the history between them.
As Paul said, "I'm never having dinner with Scott Foster", making it clear that their feud is far from over.
The incident has sparked a lot of discussion, with many weighing in on the situation.
And while Paul has retired from the NBA, his dislike for Foster remains strong.
But for now, it seems that Paul is just enjoying retirement, and not worrying about his relationship with Foster.
The "Pat McAfee Show" clip of Paul's response has gone viral, with many finding it hilarious.
