The Utah Jazz‘s home court, the Vivint Smart Home Arena, is celebrating its 25th anniversary by making a countdown on Twitter and sharing 25 photos of the most iconic moments that happened inside the building. And as expected, a lot of it were from its home team.
From Bob Dylan's concert to John Stockton setting the NBA assists and steals record, there's been a lot of history made within its walls.
One of them was during the Jazz's most successful run in franchise history where they made back-to-back NBA finals appearances. Though they lost both times, to the Chicago Bulls, it still means something for the franchise and the arena to have hosted six of its games.
To celebrate their trip to the 1998 finals, the person that runs its Twitter account shared a photo of the Jazz competing in it. But it was not the moment Salt Lake City fans are thrilled about, as the photo featured Michael Jordan hitting the go-ahead basket in Game 6 which eventually won it for the Bulls.
Though it has been deleted, fans thought of it as a shot to their team. Some made their displease heard by replying to the tweet, including Utah's Lt. Governor, Spencer Cox.
@DJJazzyJody @vivintarena Someone should be fired.

Obviously, the person responsible for the tweet did not want to offend any of the team's fans as well as the great state of Utah, but from how they reacted, it only proves that even after almost two decades, they still haven't gotten over their loss in the 1998 NBA Finals.
