this dude is so legit. great basketball mind and amazing competitor. hes got a long career ahead of him in the nba.

I remember Jrue Holiday did this last year. Great to see AC break down his most valuable skill🔒

Dudes gonna be a coach one day

We need to normalize more defensive stats. So many defensive guys go way too under appreciated because casuals only care about blocks and steals.

This man went from a meme to an all nba defender

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.

Miss him on the Lakers, glad he’s thriving in Chicago 💯

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.

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.

this needs to be a series. It's so fascinating to hear players breakdown plays

It kills me that he's not on the floor right now because of a dirty play that lead to an injury.

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

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.

Can't wait to see his defense and hustle on the court back again.

Get better soon, GOAT!

This man’s mindset and competitiveness epitomizes the Chicago Bulls franchise. We we hope we get to keep him for a lonnngg time. ❤️

He makes defense exciting to watch,hope he can get back soon.

The fact that he woulda took less money to stay with the Lakers shows how BAD of a GM Pelinka is.

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.

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.

More of these please! Simple details are often overlooked and I realized that it's more complicated than just playing "defense"

Love breakdowns like this! So insightful. More please! offense, defense, coaching

This was so good. Love to hear more player analysis of plays like this one.

I love this dude keep working 🏀🔥

I was so upset when the Lakers didn't resign Caruso. Such a good player.

Always great to hear from the G.O.A.T. 💪🐐

Invaluable player, look at bulls defense with him off the floor, so good

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.

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.

This is really cool and we need more of it!!

Do more videos like this please 🔥

This was awesome!

this is some awesome content fr

Great breakdown !! Awesome mind and hard worker

We miss you Alex! -Sincerely, LA

That was dope mad respect

This is a great vid and I really hope for the time where the league becomes a defensive oriented League like it used to be

Quality vid

Alex and Zo will be very important come playoff time. Can't wait for the bulls to be healthy again.

great vid

This bulls team is so fun to watch!

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

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.

Awesome dude

I may need to rewatch this video. Good information and advice from a good defender who is committed to playing defense.

Caruso so inspirational!

I enjoyed this content.

amazing insight

Oh man, we need a defense series from Alex Caruso where he explains the defense on some games!

Fire video

love having this dude in Chicago, get healthy G!!

this is awesome

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

Winning mindset. Love AC's game and the breakdown on the defensive end.

Caruso is pretty much solidifying himself as my favorite current player. Just such a cool guy and growing rapidly in his game

This took defense on a level I never thought about. Awesome video

I miss this guy!!! Get well soon Carushow

This was so fun to watch, didn’t realise defence highlights could be jus as entertaining as offence. I shud watch more of these!

Legend

quality content

I love watching great defenders do breakdowns on how to guard the best players in the NBA.. so glad the goat is on my hometown team.. can’t wait for him to get back as well as Zo..

Crazy skills and understanding of the game.

Thank you for making this possible bleacher rapport! Love this sequence.🔥 Espically as a Lakers man myself. The goat Caruso has a very High game IQ💪🏼🚀🐐 And now that He’s home chillin’ he should have some time left over😆

Man, Caruso would be a Helluva coach

Great inside breakdown

I hope you people win....i am rooting for you man! Carushow!

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

Soon as caruso and lonzo comes back again the defense is gonna improve substantially than what it is right now

What a great video. We need more defensive work ethic in the current NBA.

Dam the goat back at it

My boy ruso 💪🏾

Pure respect on this guy

I want the CourtOptix of Dorian Finney-Smith!!! These breakdowns are awesome.

🔥🔥🔥

Over the years I became a true fan of him! Such a humble guy, work ethic, unbelievable high Basketball IQ and the fact while others care about scoring he is doing all the „dirty“ work which is almost forgotten in this new NBA.

Absolute defensive beast keep it up

Make us Lakers fans miss bro even more...still rooting for him tho!

Alex you will always be in our hearts L.A misses you

Yay azure

He could go on any network and instantly make a impact on viewership.

we need him and Zo back because the energy they bring on that side of the ball

showing the effect of defence in stats would be highly appreciated. eg how the defender effects on the ops fg%

Caruso is such a solid NBA player. Glad to see he’s getting some recognition.

hell yea this guy contests every shot, puts so much pressure on opposing teams, and helps get the Bulls EASY peasy fast break opportunities. GOAT!

This is so Dope,. And Caruso is the Snake

Grayson allen should take note from Caruso's defense not by taking player out of season everytime

Get well soon champ!

I hope he comes back healthy after his wrist injury. Caruso is an interesting player and personality. I’m happy someone like Caruso who was given nothing is succeeding in Chicago.

can’t wait to see you back on the court Carushooow

Metrics! It really helps players work harder on every detail 👌🏻

CARUSGOAT!!🔥

This was actually even better than I thought it was gonna be

He plays defense like I do on 2k. Which is crazy because to me the clock and other players are always visible but to him he only has full sight of his match up, so he’s always anticipating other players moves and keeping time while being on ball. Insane really

As a Laker fan im proud of Alex, have a good career with the Bulls brother♥️

The CaruShow is legit! Good to have him in my favorite NBA team. Hopefully he'll get back healthy soon!

I really miss seeing the legend play!!
