Lakers, the bombshell on the 'white GOAT'

Among the favorite players of the Los Angeles Lakers fans are surely LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Alex Caruso. The 26-year-old from Texas is on the L.A. since 2017 after he was not chosen in the 2016 Draft. Many NBA fans esteem and appreciate the young guard, also known for his very particular style. But Caruso is often included in different market items, and many franchises would be interested in the Texan. Mike Penberthy, assistant coach of the Lakers, former 2001 title winner alongside Kobe and Shaq, in a recent interview with Ryan Ward of Lakers Daily, confirmed these rumors: “Whenever we were trying to make a trade during the offseason or before the trade deadline, every team wanted Alex Caruso. He is well known by the management of the whole league and very respected and appreciated " But Caruso is especially appreciated by his own team. Within the rotations he plays a fundamental role, and although he is certainly not an All Star, he always tries to have his say. In the last NBA Finals he averaged 6.3 points and 2.3 assists, starting in the decisive Game 6 of the series that handed the ring to the Lakers. Penberthy also spoke of the importance of Caruso and what makes him such a special player: “It is the piece that completes a perfect puzzle. What makes Caruso great is similar to what made me great, which is to be able to play alongside two great stars. To do this you have to be a complementary player, and if you are the stars will always want you on the court with them. LeBron and A.D. they want him on the pitch because they know he can shoot well from the outside, he can defend and he doesn't make stupid mistakes. His strengths are perfectly suited to those of the LeBron-Davis duo, and that's why we always want him here with us "
