Alex Caruso is something of a meme among NBA fans on Twitter. After going undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2016 and spending his first three seasons bouncing between the Lakers and the D-League, Caruso is a legitimate contributor for the Lakers this year.
The reason he’s a meme is because he’s a 25-year-old white guy who’s very nearly bald and yet is as athletic as any player in the league. He’s so popular among certain segments of fans that he almost got voted into the All-Star Game, despite playing just 18 minutes per game.
