You can love him or you can hate him, but there is certainly no ignoring him.
It’s not hard to spot J.P Macura on the court, even before the opening tip goes up. Macura, Xavier’s brash senior, is the one who is always on the receiving end of angry invectives from opposing crowds. The one who receives the lion’s share of the abuse wherever Xavier travels. And the one who expects it on a nightly basis.
Macura’s edgy attitude stems from a competitive spirit he developed growing up in Lakeville, Minn. Always being the younger brother who was never good enough in basketball or anything else only served to grow the ultra-competitive persona you see today.
