this dude is so legit. great basketball mind and amazing competitor. hes got a long career ahead of him in the nba.
@@ryu-ken big time. knows the physical part from being a player and knows the analytical side too. great combo.
i feel like defense is one of those skills that don't age well, as it's mostly reliant on physical capabilities (height/length/strength) and reaction time
@@aaa.internet7014 not really actually, i mean he is a really good defender even though most people he defends against have much better physical capabilities. Ofc its important too but knowing the game and knowing the enemy player is more important as he explains in the video
@@joileyfflow2361 Caruso is actually a high level athlete. Dude is really fast and strong with good hops
@@aaa.internet7014 well no
I remember Jrue Holiday did this last year. Great to see AC break down his most valuable skill🔒
Where can I watch it? I love watching Jrue play defense.
I love how we started to appreciate defensive guards like AC, Jrue, Thybulle, Gp2, etc. And as a NBA fans I want to see a guard win DPOY, because GP is the one and only like on 25 years

We need to normalize more defensive stats. So many defensive guys go way too under appreciated because casuals only care about blocks and steals.
That's what the DPOY is for. Anyone that doesn't get mentioned or nominated for the award practically sucks at Defense imo or else their defensive talents would've gone noticed.
@@timothyahn2006 The DPOY is an award. I said a defensive stat. For example, D-PIPM.
@@timothyahn2006
dpoy is harder to measure without looking extensively at match footage than something like mvp, roty or mip since there's less stats that track it (defence) compared to the other three which look at everything
@@coledorillo6685 And doesn't the award award people for something unmeasured? Such as causing people to miss shots and such? For example Bowen got awarded because of his defensive abilities and not just on blocks or steals.
@@timothyahn2006 your missing the point.
If a player has a monster scoring game, it attracts big headlines. However, if a player has a monster defensive game, it is not as mainstream. This causes people in general to underrate defensive players.
I just want to give defensive players more love.
This man went from a meme to an all nba defender
he was only a meme for other teams, the Lakers fanbase values him as a decent roleplayer and now with the bulls, he can finally show more that's why he's becoming popular
Yup great move changing to the bulls.
@@beposfather Lakers fanbase sadly not the GM
@@beposfather the lakers fanbase called caruso the goat
@@imjyun you mean LeBron?
Dudes gonna be a coach one day
I can easily see that, he passes the eye test and you can tell he has a very high basketball IQ from the way he moves and plays defense
Watch the games while he's injured. He is coaching now.
I swear if he becomes a coach we are talking about Phil Jackson levels.
@@heyshitassss calm down there buddy
@@stevestir8628 lol 😂
Miss him on the Lakers, glad he’s thriving in Chicago 💯
As a Lakers fan fuck the front office paying THT over Caruso. Caruso was probably one of the most consistent and well rounded players on the Lakers. Should've never picked up WestBrook and picked up someone with less ego that's cheaper. We already got Lebron and AD we need a supporting cast not ball hogging idiots.
@@justinnguyen3091 giving him up was one of the worst moves they’ve made recently
@@justinnguyen3091 fr they needed players like Myles turner, Caruso, and Buddy
he white tho lmao
Thriving?
It kills me that he's not on the floor right now because of a dirty play that lead to an injury.
From a notoriously dirty player too fuck Grayson Allen
Omg I was awaiting for someone to make this comment. Such a dirty player. I wish someone did what did to Caruso . He deserves it
he'll be back for playoffs, just you wait!
Bucks fan here. I hate grayson allen
@@wizthegoat9462 thank you… Grayson really hurt our season with that punk move
Crazy how many defensive highlights he's already got with just a few games with the Bulls. Just shows how great he is in defense, Man I sure do miss him in LA but Im rooting for the Bulls with AC and Ball.
i love how he actually breaks it down and tells why hes so good and doesnt just say the usual "you know its easy when you got great teammates, im really not doing much, its all my teammates." bullshit answer.
I mean thats the point of the segment right ?
Love that he know that he outworks most people defensively and that he does his part so well that the rest of the team has to match his defensive intensity.
This video deserves to go viral. That was just genius on display there in terms of Basketball IQ. Draymond said it the best, defensive players understand the game more as a result of constantly having to predict the competitions offensive schemes. Guys that elevate to this level of understanding usually stick around for their smarts on the floor, Draymond is a perfect example and Caruso is following him. When guys like Draymond or Caruso are in, you can see a spark in team defensive energy, guys are contesting, flying to get into the right spots, and lively.
The way how he explained the Julius Randle play was a masterpiece. The task at hand and not trying to overdo that task, esp in a double team situation. Contrast that with the last play of the Lakers where Russell was caught off-guard with his steal attempt, when all he had to do was literally stood in front of Reggie Jackson he overdid the play.
“The task at hand and not trying to overdo the task …”
Really appreciate this comment. I hope folks read this. Applies to way more than ball.
@@dannyezechukwu1175 that was a really good comment even for me
For real like Lonzo’s always been a good defender but feel like playing with a defensive leader like Caruso again has really taken him to that next level as well. Having those 2 on the court is a cheat code for them
I feel like Caruso is one of those players that watch and studies NBA games all the time, because sometimes scouting reports may miss a thing or two about their match ups
This is most pros though. When you get to this level, this is what separates players. You get the competitive advantage by knowing tendencies and the little details. This is why Ballislife guys will never make it at this level. They are good at basketball. Basketball isn't really their jobs though. A pro is a pro. Bigass difference.
The fact that he woulda took less money to stay with the Lakers shows how BAD of a GM Pelinka is.
Ugh, don't get me started....lol
The Lakers got rid of AC then got older.
It was a great move by Pelinka, says Bulls Nation 😁
I'm still missing dlo and Ingram. They'll never come back to LA either
U have got it wrong.The Lakers let him go so he would get paid. They couldn't pay him
this needs to be a series. It's so fascinating to hear players breakdown plays
Facts
Can't wait to see his defense and hustle on the court back again.
Lonzo and Caruso are the best defensive backcourt in the NBA right now. If I were a guard, I would hate to play against the Bulls
They’re both out at the moment that’s why the bulls are losing games, AC and Zo are such a good defensive combo and yeah Bulls beat the nets twice this season thanks to them
The Bulls could be a serious problem if they have a full healthy roster come playoff time. I could definitely see them getting out of the east. Unless Kyrie gets vaccinated and KD comes back 100%
@@therealjayz8036 bulls still need a rebouding big and i heard they’re targeting Jakob poetl, if they get him then they’ll be good enough to make it out the east
They got AYO now too. Imagine all three out there playing defense 😂
@@martezhodges3418 yeah they have Ayo but he’s no where near AC and Zo on defense, ac and Zo are like the splash brothers on defense
He makes defense exciting to watch,hope he can get back soon.
He's got such a great defensive mind set, he plays so reactively & just uses his instincts to mimic the offensive players movement, whilst also predicting & judging their next move options. He's got a great work ethic too, absolutely relentless & consistent when he's on the court. Honestly one of the most exciting players to watch play the game in the league right now.
Get better soon, GOAT!
I fucking love defense and I loved this breakdown. There's so much more mind games and strategy when playing defense, and honestly I love the feeling of killing the momentum of offense. I believe it takes a bigger toll on a player/team's mental when they get frustrated about not being able to score like they usually would.
Nothing like watching the guard's eyes as you clamp him up and see his confidence crumble. Good D will get you so many minutes
Defense is where it’s at 👌🏼
This man’s mindset and competitiveness epitomizes the Chicago Bulls franchise. We we hope we get to keep him for a lonnngg time. ❤️
I was so upset when the Lakers didn't resign Caruso. Such a good player.
Hope Alex Caruso has a great career ahead. He is smart and hard working. Definitely becoming a coach.
As a Lakers fan this is bittersweet. I love watching him grow, but miss him on the Lakers.
L
Invaluable player, look at bulls defense with him off the floor, so good
This bulls team is so fun to watch!
Fk I really rate Alex, sad the Lakers didn't see his value, great breakdown.
Oh man, we need a defense series from Alex Caruso where he explains the defense on some games!
Hope BR do a breakdown of how AC supported the team offense soon! Bulls offense is so lively with him on the floor + not playing iso.
Bro I remember last year my last game of the season I got to start and coach was super impressed with my defense so he left me in the game, I got the piont guard to turn it over 12 times 2 of the possessions were important for the other team to win because they were down 2, I also had 9 steals, 1 blk, I had a few more forced turnovers on some other players I think 3 more, had 6 points but idk defense that I can play my way is fun and it’s good to see others frustrated because of it
How to guard Grayson Allen?
With a headkick
Alex and Zo will be very important come playoff time. Can't wait for the bulls to be healthy again.
AC is awesome, what a player, hope he gets back to 100 % soon, he and Lonzo are vital for the Bulls hope to make a deep playoff run
I hope so. Many prayers.
This was so fun to watch, didn’t realise defence highlights could be jus as entertaining as offence. I shud watch more of these!
"I love making people frustraded" - carushow
Soon as caruso and lonzo comes back again the defense is gonna improve substantially than what it is right now
Grayson allen should take note from Caruso's defense not by taking player out of season everytime
Whats fucked up is Caruso is exactly what the Lakers need right now, their defense sucks. LeGM is a horrible GM
Imagine letting this guy go in favor of Westbrook 💀
i love watching him defend. honestly he is my favorite player right now, brings so much energy the moment he steps in... I will forever hate Grayson Allen how he almost ended AC's career.
get better AC and please stay healthy once you come back
Yall clout chasing for trynna use Melo as an example... 🙄🙄🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂
He could go on any network and instantly make a impact on viewership.
💯🙌🏼🔥
It’s obious He as a very High game IQ, and eye for the details
If Caruso was still on the Lakers he would be averaging 35mpg
Always great to hear from the G.O.A.T. 💪🐐
Lakers seriously dropped the ball letting Caruso go. They had a defensive identity with Caruso, KCP, and even Kuzma. Now they have Westbrook who is a traffic cone defensively (if he he's even in the path to the begin with), turnover prone, and has terrible shot selection. The idea was to lessen the load for LeBron with Westbrook, but the irony is the worse depth and trash defense giving up so many points he has to work even harder.
Man I wish I would've had a little more direction growing up on the court, still fun to go bust people's ass at the Y. Would be more fun to run against same level comp. Fuck the pandemic
*caruso is literally me as a basketball player*
Alex Caruso Was Jeff Stinco From Simple Plan For Halloween
I love this dude keep working 🏀🔥
Man, Caruso would be a Helluva coach
his dad is a coach that's why
As a Laker fan I'm sad that he left but I'm happy he is having his best season yet in his career
I used to think he just looked like some tryhard at an LA Fitness court but he's actually dope
Why Alex Caruso look like he's about to mug me in an alley in the 1990s
Caruso so inspirational!
4:32 c'mon Bleacher Report Zag? Really?👎🏽
Defensive players are the epitome of team players. They understand team defensive concepts such as knowing where the help comes, how unselfish defense is and particularly ball pressure is important to the team's defensive scheme.
Caruso is pretty much solidifying himself as my favorite current player. Just such a cool guy and growing rapidly in his game
Will never forgive Weanie Bust for not paying Carushow 😢
I miss this guy!!! Get well soon Carushow
Crazy skills and understanding of the game.
Make us Lakers fans miss bro even more...still rooting for him tho!
Dude is GOATed so hard
More of these please! Simple details are often overlooked and I realized that it's more complicated than just playing "defense"
The NBA is so fucked once the bulls get everyone back healthy
When Alex hits puberty, he's going to be unstoppable.
The new NBA is Offense and defense, you can’t just be a shooter anymore to be valuable. Keep getting better AC.
Every laker fan is singing “baby come back..”
We miss you Alex!
-Sincerely, LA
The NBA would be pissed if everyone played D like Alex
Everyone else playing basket ball while he's playing chess
Well first things first you have to be bald with a headband love the show !
White Mamba Mentality ! Alex Caruso
This dude sounds like a stud at defense he should try playing for the Lakers
I can't wait until he's healthy again. We miss him badly.
alex caruso is who patrick beverly think he is
Y'all ain't do him any favors with that THUMBNAIL lmao wtf haha
Man I'd take this dude over Westbrook all day
As a laker fan im throwing up and crying right now
I love this kind of segment that promotes good defense and puts shine on the players that take defense seriously. Dudes a beast and its cool to see his success.
Imagine a Caruso and kawhi backcourt
Hall of Fame, that's where he belongs!!!
His departure contributed to the Lakers' tragedy this season. Remember many times he turned defense into offense.
I miss Alex on my Lakers
Wrong title it’s , with the GOAT 🐐
Pains my heart we let go of Zo and Caruso
I think it would be dope if they had a All-Defensive showcase during the All-Star weekend where they played a 1on1 knockout kind of game where the best 1on1 scorers go up against the best 1on1 defenders and the game is based on glorifying the best stoppers in the league rather than only showing love to people who can score points.
I can dream...
dude, more of carushow. I love underdog hustle. I could watch 4 hours of him explaining how to guard NBA superstars.
Worst mistake letting him go thanks a lot Jeanie
Wish every player played defense like that
GUARDING LUKA OR GIANNIS PLEASE👍🏻
it sounds like theres autotune on his voice
Lebron wants you back...
shout out the weed gawd
Defense isn’t hard when you know your opponent’s tendencies. Carruso does a great job bc he’s both athletic and he watches film on the guys he’s guarding
Talking about snakes while the background clip was nets .hhhmmmm....????🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the thunder!
i can't believe lakers unwilling to pay this guy but instead paid russell 40+ mill.🤦♂
THANKS LeGM!!
Get well soon champ!
Wellcome to OKC now!
Damn you Grayson for robbing us of the privilege to see Alex do his thing
Alex Caruso, Khris Middleton, Danuel House, DeAndre Jordan and TimeLord are arguably some of the best defenders in the NBA, they went to the same college, so why isn’t the coach of Texas A&M in the NBA coaching? 🤔
And the Lakers " traded " Westbrook for him.... Basketball IQ wise ... Like Colin likes to say.. it ain't even close..."
