The cult celebrity status of Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso is unlike anything the league has witnessed in years. Caruso earned himself a two-year contract last offseason after turning heads with numerous highlights and excellent performances as a two-way player and this season has proven he is a legitimate NBA player.
But beyond his contributions on the court, Caruso’s star in the age of social media has led to many moments that will live on forever. One of the biggest came during an early season game against the Utah Jazz when pop superstar Rihanna was front row.
