Alex Caruso is one of the biggest enigmas in the NBA right now. At first glance, he doesn't look like a guy who is dunking on people at a feverish pace. Despite his low-key appearance, Caruso has managed to take NBA Twitter by storm with a plethora of scintillating highlights including some put-back dunks. The Lakers player became a bit of an internet legend last season when he had a huge game that had LeBron James in a state of shock.
Last night, the Lakers were able to defeat the Denver Nuggets and once again, Caruso came through with a huge highlight. In the clip below, Danny Green misses a three-point shot and Caruso comes out of nowhere to throw down the put-back dunk. It was yet another example of Caruso stealing the show even with a modest stat line.
