WAPO on JP

[X-man]

Great article on JP from the Washington Post. It was referenced in a Creighton article that warned the Creighton faithful not to heckle JP. We'll see. Here is the link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...=.4fddd59eb8a3.

Read the article. Says JP has the nickname of "Dennis the Menace". Never heard that before. Sounds made up by the writer. Anybody else heard that?

Always warms my heart to read any article that resets Mick Cronin's postgame comments from the Shootout.

Best line in the article: Word got around that Macura had told one of the players, “Dude, I’ll score more points than your ACT score.” Classic JP.

He is a beauty. If he's on your team, you love him. If he's not, you cant stand him. No middle ground with JP. I think he relishes that.

I only read the title of the article and I kinda want to throw up. Grayson Allen is an entitled, cry baby, tripping POS, whereas JP is a feisty, chippy, trashtalking gamer (and sometimes flopper). Everything JP does is in the spirit of competition. Allen seems like the kind of kid that gets down 10-9 in a game to 11 and decides to take his ball home, but still brags how he's undefeated.

As I recall, that was a JP kine from his AAU days. He was snubbed by the elite teams, took his joy in beating them up and down the courts.

No argument on your characterization of Allen from me. But if you read the article, you will see that the writer is not equating JP with Allen other than by the obvious fact that opposing fan bases hate both players.
