So here is the reason I’m in Utah. I decided to offer a free clinic to the best young shooters in the state as a truce to try and mend my relationship with Utah fans. Here are the best shooters the state had to offer....
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.

My heart goes out to the Utah players especially Donovan Mitchell who is a class act. One of the few guys who makes his shoes affordable. You deserve to be in a better place. Houston, Charlotte, Philly, Zimbabwe, hell even OKC.
"This s--- is getting out of hand, especially for me. The amount of disrespect, the amount of fans just doing whatever the f--- they want to do. It’s just out of pocket, man."
—Russ after a fan poured popcorn on him in Philly
Donovan Mitchell Congratulations. You deserve to be around civilization. I must address

Nation first. The next three years will be miserable, you guys had it coming.
I like James Harden and I know some of you young bucks were trying to make the argument but this isn’t up for discussion. Dream is the H-TOWN goat. Unfollow me if you think otherwise.
I know every year when the Jazz loses first round it feels as if I’ve won another championship but the sad reality is I still only have 2 and UTAH HAS NONE. Happy Friday folks!
If the Rockets lose tonight I will not only apologize to all the Jazz fans I’ll also make my return back to Salt Lake Shitty & hold a free Mad Max basketball clinic for all my fans. But if the Rockets win Utah must release Donovan Mitchell & allow him to play for a real city
Best record in the league. Blowing a 25 point lead. I feel for you Utah. And to help ease the pain I’m offering Vernon Maxwell jerseys to all Utah residents at half off. You are welcome.
Although I would like nothing more than to coach in the NBA I respectfully decline the offer from the Utah Jazz. At the end of the day the well being of my family is far more important. Plus I want my grandkids to be able to read before they graduate high school.
A lot of you are wondering if I’m ok with Hornacek joining the Rockets staff & after some thinking let me just say Jeff has a great basketball mind & he is a great coach. Im not gonna hate on him for finally being able to escape Utah. That man deserves internet & running water.
Danny Ainge confirmed after the game that the Jazz organization were seriously thinking of implementing a hygiene prerequisite for home games but quickly realized they would only have approximately 8-14 people in the stands for each game.
I loved going up against Mike. He was the best. There is no disputing that. But unlike most people who went up against him I wasn’t going allow myself to be intimidated. He might’ve been the best but he was going to have to prove it each and every time we faced off.

In hopes to mend things with Utah for every MadMax jersey sold to a Utah resident I’m donating a portion of the proceeds to helping improve the 83% illiteracy rate there. Hopefully the 17% that are able to read is part of the 10% who has internet so they can help spread the word.
Elon Musk should buy the NBA and remove the Jazz franchise from the league. Not because America hates Utah but because it makes me sad to see their fan base heartbroken year after year. 😂
Russ played harder & with more determination in one year than a lot of other players did in multiple years combined. Good luck
@russwest44
and thank you.
God don’t like ugly. That’s why I got 2 championships and UTAH ain’t got nothing but pure disappointment. Meet me on the Richmond strip Htown bc tonight we partying like it’s 1994.
Don’t fret Utah I’m still coming to do a free summer basketball camp for you guys and in addition I’ll also be providing remedial reading classes for Jazz season ticket holders!

I can’t stand how the game is so damn soft now. From the players to how the game is officiated. My nose is crooked from someone coming down on my face with an elbow and these guys today are worried about someone touching them. Play the damn game or go pick up figure skating.
Thankful for all the love from everyone in Houston, Gainesville, Charlotte & even OKC and Utah. Contrary to popular belief I have equal love & respect for everyone regardless where you are from. Just bc my fans in Utah can’t read doesn’t mean I love them any less. ❤️
So I’m the only one that remembers when Olajuwon and Maxwell got into it at halftime? When Hakeem slapped Vernon and Maxwell broke a bottle and tried to stab him? Calm down people. Heated exchanges happen all the time.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I didn’t get the Texans GM position. I was told I was overqualified bc I had common sense. But I’m sure that video of those boys shooting airballs & bricks at my free b-ball camp in Utah didn’t help the cause. No good deed left unpunished.
I definitely feel bad for OKC bc they played hard. And you gotta feel for their fans bc what else is there to do in OKC but watch basketball? My advice is just cheer for Houston and pretend like Westbrook is still playing for OKC.
Wishing my guy Bill Worrell all the best in his retirement. Watching Rockets basketball without him is like going to Utah and not being called the N word.
From a distance the Mavs reminds me exactly of the Jazz teams of the 90’s except they aren’t dirty and they are good and they are fun to watch and people like them.
Hey I just saw my previous tweet and I accidentally used the wrong emoji. I’m new to the emoji game. I meant to use this one 😢 not this one 😂. My bad Jazz fans. 🖕🏿
It’s just a bottled water right? If you feel disrespected then do something about it or it will keep on happening. Guess how many times a fan made a comment about my stillborn daughter? It cost me some money & a suspension but I sleep fine every night knowing I stood up for her
Doing The Last Dance documentary without mentioning The Dream and the Rockets is like doing a documentary on Utah and not mentioning how they have the highest illiteracy rate in America. 😂
I seriously thought if I got the Budweiser player of the game it meant free beer for life. I was devastated to find out it wasn’t true. So I started drinking
@Heineken
You farm animals from Utah like to say y’all livin rent free in my head & it’s true. Each time I played there for 13 seasons I was insulted, called racial slurs, got spat on. Threaten my kids lives. So yea rent free. It’s the worst place in the world to play at.

Sources: Jazz cooperating with NBA investigation into former player’s charges of racial insensitivity leveled against Dennis Lindsey, a probe that’ll include sharing of verbatim notes taken in 2015 meeting attended by Elijah Millsap and 3 Jazz officials.
Sorry but I’m way past my prime and my body can no longer hold up vs the best night after night so I would probably only be good for maybe 30 points a game against teams like Utah and OKC.
Most NBA teams winning a title is the ultimate goal not the Jazz. They are going ape shit this morning bc they won a meaningless regular season game where 2 of our best shooters took the night off.
#saltlakeshitty
I appreciate everyone saying they’d love for me to be back on the Rockets sidelines as an assistant coach & I’d love it too but rumor has it I’m the leading candidate for the Jazz’s head coaching job. 🤞
So sorry to hear about all my people in Houston that are without power and water. Apparently the same people running the Texans are also in charge of the city. Stay safe Clutch City. ❤️
I stayed up all night but I think I have a solution for the Deshaun Watson situation. Trade him to the Titans, then trade the Texans organization to Tennessee for the Titans organization. Problem solved. I’m ready for that GM position now.
Utah I met a black family that lives in Salt Lake City I love. I’ll actually be coming back to Utah to see them a few times. They actually had Wi-Fi and they showed me nothing but love. You all could learn a thing or two from them. Love the Wright family.
If there isn’t a position available with the Rockets I’m willing to take a job with the Texans or even the Astros. I’m ready to move back and make Houston great again.
#fireBOB
So I was really bored today and decided to broaden my horizons in an effort to understand and accept people from all walks of life. I watched a documentary series about what life is like in Utah called Tiger King. Check it out!
My son recently showed me how to block people on here & man I feel Ike The Dream of Twitter! Yes I lost 10k followers (the reading population of Utah) but I’m more about eliminating negativity from my life these days. Anyone writing anything offensive will be blocked.
#mellowmax
NY fans letting me know how many titles they have. LOL But would you have those titles if you had to play Altuve, Correa, Cole, Springer, Bregman and the Houston Astros?!!! Have a great Sunday everyone
Hey
@utahjazz
I heard you guys are interviewing my man Sam Cassell. We are going to become the best of friends if you all hire my man!
I’ll be your BIGGEST FAN IN THE NBA. I’ll forgive you for everything and choose a new team that bothered Mad Max like Indiana or Portland!
Basketball Poverty is never far when the Utah Jazz are around. Four nationally televised games are too much if you ask me. But that’s better than five!
