THE GOAT.. He is seen as a meme because he is white and balding. Honestly, thats it. He plays very often for the lakers, every game, he is one of their best role players. Edit: Also sort of a minor thing but when you say rebounds for Caruso's dunks off of missed shots they are called putbacks.
It's more than just how he looks. It's the contrast between how ordinary he looks and how Uber athletic and flashy he can be on the court. He's like Jared Dudley meme-wise but if Dudley had a 40 inch vert lmao
He’s seen as a meme because he’s a (relatively) small white dude with a receding hairline. People make jokes saying “he looks like a substitute teacher” and stuff like that
Et The league average is 6’6. So he’s technically on the smaller side in the league. I mean they call them smalls and bigs in basketball for a reason lmao. It’s all relative
Et In I ain’t gonna read all of that but being 6’5 in the league is relatively small when there’s many 7+ foot freaks out there, so there really ain’t much else to say. See ya
You mean the goat who is so good it's not even something to be memed about Btw im a new nba youtuber so i would appreciate it a lot if you checked me out
As much of a meme he is, he’s always on the floor in the last minutes of crucial games. Everyone is always surprised that a balding, non-european white dude is capable of being a human highlight-reel, but in truth, he’s always been a capable basketball player.
I find it great that you can identify everything we love about caruso from one video. Hard worker, teammates love him, makes big plays, all while looking like a middle aged gym teacher.
Alex Caruso has top knotch basketball intelligence. He is a master of reading plays, its why he is so good on defense. Its why him and Lebron play so good together, because there both highly intelligent when it comes to the court.
I know you're mainly enjoying basketball at the moment, but I would encourage you to react to Andrelton Simmons Career Highlights. He is one of the most skillful and impressive defensive baseball players, and some of his defensive plays are just incredible.
Watching the jazz vs pelicans game atm, gtg work tomorrow so can’t catch the game and steam but all the best and looking forward to some seasons restart reactions
You might not do a reaction to it, having just done this, but take a look at “Why you should take Alex Caruso seriously” from the Ringer. It’s a great breakdown of Caruso’s game backed with a lot of stats, which I know you like, and why he is so important for the Lakers in the rest of this season.
These comments are hilarious! But yeah, you pegged it saying that he looks like a dad. That’s exactly it. He does not look like a baller. But he works hard, hustles all the time and pulls off these highlight plays at least once a game. He’s also a good defender, which often goes overlooked because he does a lot of little things that don’t show up on the stat line. By the way, the NBA tracks a stat that measures efficiency and Caruso and LeBron are the highest rated duo in the league when they play together. He complements LeBron brilliantly.
“When I was a kid, I would skip school to watch Alex Caruso play” -Wilton Norman Chamberlain “Caruso, Jordan, Duncan. In that order.” - Stephen A. Smith, on his GOAT conversation “No, Caruso is not the best player on earth. Because he is from another planet” -LeBron James
People love Caruso cus he's an underdog. Came from the g-league, in a game dominated mostly by giant black dudes with clean ass fades, here comes an unassuming small balding white dude who's fundamentally sound, and athletic, has good defensive and offensive vision, he's a good six man. He also hypes up his teammates with his ballsy plays. It's just funny how the nicest looking dude on the court, makes the most savage plays. Make no mistake chef Caruso got that sauce.
He reminds me a bit of ginobili. Maybe its the bald head lol. But he's got a very high basketball IQ, crafty, and dunks like a maniac. Slightly more athletic too
Boban Marjanovic is another meme player and he is actually insanely efficient. He plays for my Mavs and he is 7’4 and 290 lbs or 131.5 kilograms. He can touch the rim and the court at the same time. Watch his career highlights. It is really good. The only problem is because he is so big, he is very slow. So he has a lot of games where he plays 10 minutes and gets 12 points while only missing 1 or 2 shots.
Javale McGee was a meme too because he always ended up on shaqtin a fool for his in-game gaffes and personality but a few years ago he went from a solid player to one of the better in the league and the meme kind of died after he 'beefed' with Shaq
As people have said, he became a meme because he's white and balding but surprisingly athletic. When he first started getting minutes, he was throwing down some monster dunks. If I recall, the dunks were what first started the meme because it was so surreal to see. He's no all-star, but he's a lot more capable than his looks give him credit for.
He's a meme because he's a relatively short, slightly scrawny, balding white dude... and he's balling against some true physical specimens that absolutely dwarf him. Yet he gets results. It's amazing and I love it
If your on an nba roster you got game, no matter your looks. The last player on the bench is a beast. There are your elites in the league who are the best of the best.
Because of the lack of Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo at the moment, Caruso is the Laker's back-up point guard and will be getting significant minutes in the bubble
Alex Caruso is a role player last season he played 25 games and proved he was a reliable player for the team Yeah he averages 5 points this year but that doesn't matter, he's a good playmaker and defender if he was a starter, he could probably average 15pts 7 assists and 5 rebounds PS: Alex Caruso doesn't like the GOAT memes, someone made a tweet saying he looks like an assistant Coach and LeBron sent it to the lakers group chat
Dude caruso is one of the best role player in the entire NBA, he's not that good, but if the lakers win the title i can say with no problem he deserve it 100% for how much he does his best and remaining concious of his role
When you see Alex Caruso, you get the feeling he is a high school math teacher, but little do people know that he can ball. While he is not going to dominate games, he does impact the outcomes. He is a defensive pest, who often breaks up the flow of the opposing teams. He ranks in the top 10 when it comes to "defensive +/-," and is probably one of the best fits for Lebron as a teammate, as the Lakers offense runs smoother when the 2 play together, even though AD is going to get most of the buckets.
You should react to more of these role players and fan favorites. Joe Ingles is one of my favorite role players. He's a non-athletic white boy that plays with grit.
Bro u gonna stream the games? The jazz pelicans game is happening rn, im watching it (second half rn) and the lakers clippers game is in 50 mins, stream it if you can
Can you react to Bsolz top 50 current players. It’s not a perfect list by any means but it does give a good general idea on how some players compare to one another.
Carushow!!!!!He's fans favorite. Didn't. Get draft out of college. Look at him no,on the LAKERS.Playing with LBJ and AD c'mon.This is more than a dream.About 20 mins.But now mabey more.
They consider Micheal Jordan the black Alex Caruso
And kobe is the black scalabrine
Cameronnnn👑
Drew said everyone*...but you, party pooper
Very true.
@Drew Okay
THE GOAT.. He is seen as a meme because he is white and balding. Honestly, thats it. He plays very often for the lakers, every game, he is one of their best role players. Edit: Also sort of a minor thing but when you say rebounds for Caruso's dunks off of missed shots they are called putbacks.
I’d say it’s also because he came out of nowhere, one minute he was in the g league, next he’s dunking over three people.
It's more than just how he looks. It's the contrast between how ordinary he looks and how Uber athletic and flashy he can be on the court. He's like Jared Dudley meme-wise but if Dudley had a 40 inch vert lmao
That's dumb.. why would they call it put back, putting it back to where it was (outside the net) ...
@@jckdnls9292 Because there was a shot attempt that missed so they put the ball back in the basket...
He's a fan favorite not unlike Mad Dog and Luke Walton.
Whoever pressured you into watching this was absolutely correct. Caruso is our secret weapon here in LA
It's just a shame he plays for the Lakers!! ;)
@@Stevesrssrssrs how is it a shame tho?
@@AniDeMax I think he meant he wants him to play for his team, lol
He’s seen as a meme because he’s a (relatively) small white dude with a receding hairline. People make jokes saying “he looks like a substitute teacher” and stuff like that
He’s not small, he’s taller and ripped
I don’t think these dudes know what ‘relatively’ means ^
Et The league average is 6’6. So he’s technically on the smaller side in the league. I mean they call them smalls and bigs in basketball for a reason lmao. It’s all relative
Et In I ain’t gonna read all of that but being 6’5 in the league is relatively small when there’s many 7+ foot freaks out there, so there really ain’t much else to say. See ya
Shooting Guards range from 6'2 to 6'6. Hes 6'5. Hes not "relatively small". Hes an inch taller than Wade and an inch shorter than Kobe and Jordan.
Absolutely correct. His ‘dad’ look makes him a meme. There’s been similar memed players, but usually not as good as him
He’s the new Scalabrine...a solid player who’s the biggest meme
You mean the goat who is so good it's not even something to be memed about
Btw im a new nba youtuber so i would appreciate it a lot if you checked me out
Scalabrine was never solid, ever in his career. If Caruso gets at least 20 minutes in a game he can give you 10+
nah scalabrine was bad caruso is actually a solid player he just doesnt play a lot
EV caruso is way better than scal his offball movement and hustle is something you would want in a player
😂 😂 😂 😂
“The two hairless gods”
IM FVCKIN DEADD!!!!!!
It's been fun watching you go from having a passing familiarity with basketball to being like "He's finds the space! He drives hard in the paint!"
Your welcome for the title Luka 😭😂
😂
CAM3RON 😭😭
" He sworda looks like a dad." 🤣🤣🤣

The caption got me rolling on the floor laughing 😭😭
Huh

luka spending the video trying to figure out why people love him only to come up with "he looks like.......a *dad* " has made 2020 alllllmost worth it
When LeBron and Alex Caruso are on the floor together the Lakers have an average of a 20 point advantage on the opposition
He's a fan favorite because he looks like an everyday normal dude who's dunking on professional athletes.
Watching the jazz vs pelicans game atm, gtg work tomorrow so can’t catch the game and steam but all the best and looking forward to some seasons restart reactions

White chocolate reaction video in the future maybe? Good vid Luka
LeBron to Caruso... 'the two hairless Gods' AMAZING haha
He first played with LA G League Team and grew into the NBA!
“When I was a kid, I would skip school to watch Alex Caruso play”
-Wilton Norman Chamberlain
“Caruso, Jordan, Duncan. In that order.”
- Stephen A. Smith, on his GOAT conversation
“No, Caruso is not the best player on earth. Because he is from another planet”
-LeBron James
Caruso-lebron connection is the best

The hero we needed
He's only 6' 5" and 26-years-old!!!
Not to mention he went undrafted in 2016 he is a good 3 point shooter this season he been working on that for a while
As people have said, he became a meme because he's white and balding but surprisingly athletic. When he first started getting minutes, he was throwing down some monster dunks. If I recall, the dunks were what first started the meme because it was so surreal to see. He's no all-star, but he's a lot more capable than his looks give him credit for.
The goat himself is just an all around walking highlight real tbh
He's a meme because he's a relatively short, slightly scrawny, balding white dude... and he's balling against some true physical specimens that absolutely dwarf him. Yet he gets results. It's amazing and I love it
Alex Caruso is the people’s champion of the NBA
The white LeBron hahahaha im dying🤣🤣🤣
FINALLY THE REAL GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your on an nba roster you got game, no matter your looks. The last player on the bench is a beast. There are your elites in the league who are the best of the best.
Because of the lack of Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo at the moment, Caruso is the Laker's back-up point guard and will be getting significant minutes in the bubble
Caruso actually is a rotational player I believe he’s like a 7 or 6 man up 1-5 are starters
But now I think he might be starting
Alex Caruso is a role player last season he played 25 games and proved he was a reliable player for the team
Yeah he averages 5 points this year but that doesn't matter, he's a good playmaker and defender if he was a starter, he could probably average 15pts 7 assists and 5 rebounds
PS: Alex Caruso doesn't like the GOAT memes, someone made a tweet saying he looks like an assistant Coach and LeBron sent it to the lakers group chat
He's a Fan Favorite for the Lakers and hes nickname is the Carushow
Role player is what you want to call him he's not the a star but he's a valuable play for his team "role player"
Dude caruso is one of the best role player in the entire NBA, he's not that good, but if the lakers win the title i can say with no problem he deserve it 100% for how much he does his best and remaining concious of his role
The year before last he was basically unknown so yeah, he is a hard worker.
Caruso is a goat amongst men
The bald mamba probably has the best nickname in the game
Luka you should definitely do a bench reaction
8:06 dude that’s tuff💀💀
He’s a meme bc he’s a random bench player who’s balding and white who can randomly dunk hella good lmao
When you see Alex Caruso, you get the feeling he is a high school math teacher, but little do people know that he can ball.
While he is not going to dominate games, he does impact the outcomes. He is a defensive pest, who often breaks up the flow of the opposing teams.

Yessssssssssssssssss! #CarusGOAT
he just doesnt look like he plays basketball at all, so the fact that hes a big role player for the Lakers makes him objectively funny
You should react to more of these role players and fan favorites. Joe Ingles is one of my favorite role players. He's a non-athletic white boy that plays with grit.

They’re called put backs not rebounds when they rebound a miss and dunk it
why wouldn't you cheer for him? he worked his ass off through G-League, played in summer camp, and got signed by the lakers in a 2 way contract.
