Mustapha Heron and L.J. Figueroa are the best of friends. Close teammates, the perfect roommates, the whole nine yards. And that all works for Heron, especially the roommate part. But not so much for Figueroa.
It all stems from the St. John’s duo’s days at the Pan Am Games this past summer in Peru. Heron was a key cog on the American team that won the bronze medal with a victory over the Dominican Republic’s national team. Figueroa’s problem was that he was a part of that Dominican team. Heron received a medal.
