"Alex Caruso is making LeBron James and Rob Pelinka pay for their sins": NBA Twitter takes a dig at the Lakers front office following The Carushow's poster dunk on P.J. Tucker

Chicago Bulls point guard Alex Caruso posterizes P.J. Tucker. Lakers fans on Twitter request The Carushow to return to the Staples Center.

The Chicago Bulls face the Miami Heat in what might be a preview to the eastern conference finals. Both the top contenders in the east made several changes to their roster this off-season. The Bulls signed Alex Caruso on a 4-years $36M deal, something his former team the Lakers outright refused to give him.

If one had to describe Caruso in one word, it would be unique. Though he might not score the ball on many occasions, he continues to impact both ends of the floor. Coming off the bench, the Bulls point guard is averaging 7.7 PPG and 2.4 SPG this season.

He does not have the size of a Nikola Jokic. However, Caruso does exhibit some mindboggling athleticism. The 27-year old can throw the hammer down and dish out some incredible assists. One of the most recent examples is his recent poster dunk on P.J. Tucker.

Caruso’s recent dunk on Tucker had Lakers fans on Twitter requesting him to return to LA. The point guard had fans on their feet in the United Center.

P.J Tucker, get up or get out of the way.

The Carushow performs a phenomenal dunk on Tucker, one of the elite defenders in the league. NBA Twitter can’t get enough of their GOAT. This is not the first time Caruso posterized the Heat forward. The former Lakers guard has Tucker’s number.

It would not be wrong to say that the Bulls have turned out to be the surprise package of this season. The revamped roster boasting Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso is a big threat in the east.
