Alex Caruso on His NBA Journey, the Hardest Players to Guard, and More | The Ryen Russillo Podcast

[@MrKenn93]

Lovely for Russillo to be joined by his son for this interview!

[@blakewu1375]

Ha ha I see some resemblance...though more like a big bro or young uncle. Russillo isn't that old.

[@travellingcurmudgeon]

@@blakewu1375 Ryen is 47 and Alex is 29, so he could totally be his son.

[@nuggz720]

i love listening to true hoopers break down their assignments and tendencies and the average joe like myself can better understand how good pros are and how much they see

[@TheUltimateRage]

As a Bulls fan, I'm SUPER happy to have this dude on my team. I just wish Lonzo woulda never suffered that DEVASTATING injury! We were arguably the best defense in the league when both AC and Zo were on the floor together! They were a CRAZY guard tandem! Idgaf what happens, I just hope Zo can make a fully recovery and come back. Either way, AC is that dude! Hope he's workin' on that 3 ball, cuz his defense is ELITE!!!!

[@thedoranwilliamsshow6863]

I first saw Alex Caruso in the 2017 NBA Summer League. He was impressive. Glad he carved out a nice career

[@ewoly]

Miss Caruso, such a big part of our defensive identity when we won the chip in 2020. Now seeing him 1st team Defense this year brings a tear to my eye.

[@CFBDeepDive]

The fact that he says there’s 10-15 guys in the league right now that no matter how good you defend them they’re still going to score-that’s insane.

[@MrOctober44]

The game is setup to favor offensive players

[@hothandquis941]

How is that insane, they’re the best in the world 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@dylanbeschoner]

Caruso is one of the best defenders at the guard position

[@jg-fs2kk]

Captain obvious

[@Datlumskey]

Thanks Magic

[@jlui21]

@@jg-fs2kk - Well, he was first shipmate*** ***First team all D.

[@mamster233]

26:40 can someone explain what he means here about usually scoring more because of more passing?

[@ilovekaiyko]

NBA champion Alex caruso

[@muttdiggedy]

The Bald Mamba is a class act!

[@Halbumen]

awesome interview

[@obaone]

We miss u man hope we bring u back before the deadline for this run

[@thedoranwilliamsshow6863]

Alex Caruso was part of the greatest comeback in NCAA Tournament History. Down 12 with 1 minute to go 😮

[@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405]

Still can't believe UNI blew that game. Jesperson hit that crazy buzzer beater against Texas in the 1st round as well. We're apart of two all time great games.

[@dwaynelee1789]

Great interview by Ryen. Caruso really is a student of the game. You can see why he is an NBA player .

[@silewis9396]

Respect to Russillo this shit is legendary

[@matthogg2252]

It’s like a bald convention around here.

[@Jack-jx6ln]

Rusillo looks like Carusos uncle

[@kalebduggar4251]

Alex this is the same sprain that happened to me in Corpus '14. Glad to see you have recover. Show us that lefty 3pter next time. I know that is in your bag. We've def. spoke about that Larry Bird game.

[@Joe-bj3yp]

Good interview

[@hamsatd]

Boston need a Guard like him.

[@TrahNO2]

Derrick White is the same mold

[@yushengzhou685]

take all the second round pick and get this guy！

[@Kodreanu23]

The GOAT Caruso! Yay!

[@blakewu1375]

It's bittersweet to see Alex the Bald Eagle Carushow on the program as a Lakers fan. He's doing well at the Bulls, but that team has not been doing well ever since Lonzo went down (another exLaker that the Lakers gave up prematurely).

[@TheeRobertPhoenix]

Great watch/listen. Caruso could be an excellent HC one day if he's motivated along those lines.

[@sydneydance]

THE GOAT'S GOAT! 😁 THE GOATEST OF GOATS! 😂 YOUR FAVOURITE GOAT'S GOAT! 🤣🤭

[@tonyguillen9697]

As a Laker fan I sure do miss Caruso! The Lakers literally dropped the ball on losing him.

[@stizanley3987]

Twins.

[@nikolayjerev9285]

They should count more on Caruso as a PG.

[@robbuckets436]

Bucks go get this guy

[@TheShachattack13]

If rusillo was 10 years younger and hit the gym a bit more frequently, he’d be identical to Alex caruso

[@ishak4337]

Man I miss Caruso as a lakers fan

[@nayr2432]

Lakers legend AC

[@jeanlobrot]

Did Alex Caruso get hotter or is it just me

[@nysockexchange2204]

Remember when he refused to shave off his spotty hair? Good times haha!

[@jagutichsachma]

To the surprise of nobody this content is better than ryen monologueing 15 mins into the camera.

[@allank8497]

The thing with the Grayson Allen play is that it wasnt even dirty. Alex just ripped the ball across his body from his left hip to his right shoulder and their arms got tangled up in that process

[@raghuhariharan]

He kinda looks like Cerutti!

[@ViceCitySports]

How different of a finals would it have been if the heat had more rest , seems like they ran out of gas after losing that game 6 to Boston.

[@brandontowers9113]

They won 2 out of 3 games immediately after that lol. I agree though it would have been nice to see how things might've gone if the heat beat the Celtics in 4 or 5

[@LukaLegend77]

caruso shud know SGA doesnt shoot many 3s and his bread n butter is the mid range and at the rim, if im guarding im ok with a contested SGA 3

[@Hackaveli]

AC really 1st team all 🐶

[@DeathWatch13]

first dawg

[@LukaLegend77]

what is that facial hair

[@positivechange2211]

love carruso rusillo is boring

[@Henry-kv7zl]

Your name is positive change but all your comments are smug and negative. Nice

[@WheresWaldo05]

Less than mid player. Not watching

[@sitonmuhdeckasshole]

Lol you could’ve just typed I’m an idiot and saved time little guy

[@NiWdLES]

Less than mid for a player that won first-team All-Defense. Wow! I can't believe you have the guts to say that, and you're not even on the fringe NBA players' level.

[@brennansnyder476]

But you felt the need to comment. Odd. Also, he's first team all defense, so you're both incorrect and an idiot.

[@Euclid06]

Bye…
