How are we this many interviews in and they haven't acknowledged Halli going down?! **** okc
I am happy that Alex Caurso won a second ring.

Because everyone on that squad are narcissistic dbags.
AC and Acie. Two all-time greats. The best NBA player we've ever produced, and the best college player, both getting rings. I know most of us were for the underdog Pacers, but this isn't a bad deal.
Caruso is a bit of a king maker, isn't he?

Caruso is the high basketball IQ, high motor, defensive minded "glue" that you add to a roster when you're serious about winning a title.
Would you rate Caruso over Khris Middleton or Deandre Jordan?94chem said:

As an Aggie or as an Aggie player or as an NBA player?
DJ is the only All-NBA player of the group but only 1 and done at A&M. Khris was 3x AS and top 3 player on title team.
Caruso had the most interesting career as an Aggie. Did you know he was a ball boy?

Haha. My mother taught him in elementary school. Caruso still has years to go on a contender. He's already passed DJ, and I think he will pass Middleton.

As a pro? No. It's not even close. Don't get me wrong. I love Caruso, but he hasn't had the career that Jordan or Middleton have had. Stats don't tell everything, but they tell a lot. DJ's time with "Lob City" was huge. His personal stretch from 2013-2020 was much bigger and more impactful than what Caruso has done so far.double aught said:Would you rate Caruso over Khris Middleton or Deandre Jordan?94chem said:

Should we put an asterisk on the Pacers run through the east because they played benefitted SO much from injuries to get there?zgolfz85 said:

These playoffs were meaningless trash because no one can stay healthy.

Maybe not right now, but AC is a 2 time all defensive player, and has an $81M deal that will take him through 2029. I'm projecting, as is OKC, and it will be a fair argument if he lives up to that contract and wins a 3rd title along the way.

Short of completely becoming a new player with a much higher usage, there's nothing Caruso can do to be in the Middleton conversation. They're not playing the game with remotely similar responsibilities.94chem said:NoahAg said:As a pro? No. It's not even close. Don't get me wrong.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

His prior Tweet right before this one has to be one of the most unfortunate posts for a sneaker company ever.

Good points. And if this were baseball or football, titles wouldn't even matter (except for a QB).
Looks like Middleton is grabbing $33M next year to hang another 1000 points in the the land of mediocrity. The NBA definitely doesn't encourage retirement, does it?

Not to pile on, but winning rings is not the same for everyone. Yes, Caruso has "won" 2 rings. He happened to be on the Lakers when they won. He truly did contribute to the Thunder's title. D. Jordan was a bigger part of the Nuggets' championship than Caruso w/ the Lakers. No one (seriously) will say that Robert Horry was better than Barkley or Malone b/c he was on 7 championship teams.
Middleton was a vital part of the Bucks' title, and was a cornerstone of the team for 10+ years, and a 3 time all star. Jordan was 3 time all NBA. Caruso is closer to the end of his career, and I don't see him being an all star in his remaining years.

Jordan was definitely not a bigger part of the Nuggets than Caruso with the Lakers. Caruso started game 6 of the Finals for the Lakers. Caruso was 5th on the Lakers in minutes played that playoff. Jordan played 14 minutes for the entirety of the Nuggets playoff run.
Khris was definitely the #3 guy on that Bucks team and was a key player.
Well I fact checked myself and you're right. I would not have guessed he played that much.
