“The people said some things to me back in the day that I didn’t like. They used to talk all kinds of sh-, call me n-. Talk about your family.
But it’s cool, I don’t know what the f- they were trying to do. I don’t know if it was an intimidating thing or trying to make me scared, I don’t know.
But they was f-ing with the wrong m-fer. Them m-fers kinda scarred me out there with what they were saying to me.
They were going at my a-.”
Maxwell added that he had similar experiences with other fanbases, but that the conditions in Utah were constantly negative, because of the fans.
“That’s not the only place but it just happened every time I went there. You cross the line when you [talk about] my family and people that you really don’t know about. And talk about people that we love and we know.
I don’t want people talking about my mom. Because she brought up 4 of us by herself and she had to work 2 jobs.
I didn’t really see her that much. I don’t want people talking about my family and people that I love the most.
You could talk about me, the man. Talk about the player.
I’m the one that you see and you think you know. Talk about me and try to get in my head and try to get me off of my square while I’m playing.
Because that’s the objective. And that’s cool. Do that. But don’t bring my family into sh-. That’s when you cross the line.”
