Alex Caruso's Comment / August 13

Caruso and James were teammates for three seasons on the Los Angeles Lakers.

During the 2020 season, they helped the franchise win the NBA Championship over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

While the focus was on James, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma, Caruso did an excellent job in his role.

Following his run with the Lakers, Caruso spent the last three seasons with the Chicago Bulls (before getting traded to Oklahoma City over the offseason).

Lakers fans will likely love seeing that Caruso and James are still interacting on social media.

The Lakers still have a talented roster, but they have been unable to reach the NBA Finals since Caruso's departure.

They are coming off a season where they were the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 47-35 record (and lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA playoffs).
