If you pay for an NBA playoff game ticket, Alex Caruso is gonna make sure you get your money's worth. One of the best effort guys in league history, AC is willing to sacrifice his body, shots, ego, and basically everything in between to help his team win.

This reputation has followed him wherever he has landed in the NBA and is a major reason he has been able to stick around in the league for this long and showcase his outrageous defensive talents.

Today, after Thunder practice, Caruso was asked about his unique connection with the home Thunder crowd through his play style.

“I think I embody the same emotions they do as far as the love for the game and a love to play, compete, and I think that just resonates with them.”
