Watch: Alex Caruso gets epic tribute at Staples Center during Bulls vs Lakers; Twitter reacts

Alex Caruso

Known as the White Mamba at Staples Center, Alex Caruso was one of the most popular faces in the purple and gold army amongst the fans. When the 28-years-old was decided to be traded away from the team, many current players in the team came out to reveal their unhappiness with Caruso going away. However, now being one of the brightest stars for Chicago, the fans at Staples Center were quick to acknowledge Alex Caruso in Bulls vs Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers paid a tribute to Alex Caruso which was surely an enduring experience for both, the player and the fans as well. Moreover, even Chicago Bulls acknowledging the same fact, he was made to start the game against his former team. The tribute even seems to make Alex Caruso a little emotional as he raised up his hand to appreciate the fans giving him a standing ovation.

Safe to say, LeBron James was always on point to praise Caruso whenever he had an off day in the purple and gold jersey. Moreover, the 36-years-old also had a good relation with his former teammate and still appreciates his best plays on social media. Now, when Caruso returned, LeBron was one of the first players to acknowledge the same as the love between the duo could not hidden form the camera.

Much has been made about the Lakers opting to let Caruso walk away in free agency during the offseason and how a lot of people think that this decision has come back to haunt them. Nevertheless, it is clear that there is nothing but love between the Carushow and his former team.

Talking about the Bulls vs Lakers showdown, although Caruso started the game but playing for more than 25 minutes, he hasn’t scored a single point. Yet the Bulls have managed to pull away to a more than 10 points lead against the home team by the end of the third quarter.

These teams pay tribute to ANYBODY now a days. First the Clippers did one for PATRICK BEVERLEY and now the Lakers and Alex Caruso. https://t.co/EIp5bVyL1r
