He’s also gained notoriety for posting tweets dissing the Utah Jazz and Salt Lake City. In fact, the pinned tweet on his Twitter handle is a hilarious diss on the city.

Good morning Clutch City! Feels good to still be in the playoffs don’t it? I pray that one day Thunder and Jazz fans will get to experience this feeling. 🤞#JustKidding #FreeDonovanMitchell

I’m not sure why I’m getting so much heat from OKC fans. I think it’s a great city. They have a great Walmart and the VHS section of their Blockbuster always has a nice selection. People in Utah would die to have those things. #begrateful.

Maxwell’s beef with Salt Lake City is understandable, as it was once a hub of racist activity. The Rockets and the Jazz also had a big rivalry going on for much of the 90s. This rivalry has been rekindled in this decade as the Jazz have been knocked out of successive playoffs by the Rockets.
It’s funny to see a former NBA player use social media in this fashion.
