Throughout the course of the years, former Houston Rockets defensive star Vernon Maxwell has had beef with Utah Jazz fans. He claims they’re racist, which is a reputation they’ve carried for decades now.
Maxwell has taken countless shots at them, calling them dumb and uneducated. However, he may have saved his wildest take about the team for the 2025 NBA Draft.
The two-time NBA champion believes the Jazz will be all over Cooper Flagg, not because he’s clearly the best player in his class, but only because of the color of his skin.
Vernon Maxwell says the Utah Jazz will draft Cooper Flagg because he’s white
“That’s what they do,” Maxwell told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. “They send them white boys over there. When’s the last time Utah drafted a Black player? Do that!”

Of course, the Jazz have drafted several black players in the past, especially in recent years. Also, there are more than plenty of reasons to take Flagg with the first-overall pick.
