Vernon Maxwell re-tells story of the time Hakeem Olajuwon slapped 'taste out of my mouth'

Rockets fan favorite Vernon Maxwell had a lively 50-minute discussion on “The Right Time with Bomani Jones” podcast, which was released Thursday, where he talked about everything people in Houston want to hear.

He told stories about wanting to fight Michael Jordan when they would go head-to-head, telling John Starks to keep shooting in Game 7 of the 1994 NBA Finals, his regret for quitting on the Rockets after they traded for Clyde Drexler the next season, storming into the crowd to hit a Portland fan, all the fun he had in Houston off the court, his still-brewing hate for Utah fans and being so scared of Buck Williams that he blocked him on Instagram.
