  • Alex Caruso joins The Old Man and The Three for an amazing interview that covers a wide variety of topics. Including: what Alex learned from LeBron James that he took to Chicago, why exactly he chose The Chicago Bulls, what it's like being teammates w/ Zach Lavine and DeMar Derozan, Lonzo Ball's ceiling, trying to guard Stephen Curry, The Jokic vs. Morris fight, why Alex has such a cult following and so much more.
