Vernon Maxwell mocks Utah Jazz and OKC Thunder

Former Houston Rockets player Vernon Maxwell is notorious for his hate of Salt Lake City. Today, he aimed his guns at Oklahoma City too in the same tweets.

Vernon Maxwell is a certified Rockets die-hard. The man, who played 5 of his 12 NBA seasons for Clutch City, has been vocal about his love for Houston. 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.

Vernon Maxwell trolls Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City together

In two tweets last night, Maxwell had some fun at the expense of the residents of the two cities and the supporters of OKC Thunder and the Utah Jazz.

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.
