Watch: LeBron James With Epic Pass To Alex Caruso

The Los Angeles Lakers returned to the floor after a 3-day break. It’s Game 5 of the first-round series, and LA is taking on the Portland Trail Blazers. LA won three straight games after losing Game 1. Things look really well for the team and winning this game takes them straight to the series. LeBron James joined his teammates on the floor and his pass to Alex Caruso speaks volumes.

Caruso likes being out of the spotlight. He has a really great connection with LeBron and they work well together. LeBron and Caruso have one of the highest plus-minus numbers as a duo in the league. They have the first in net rating (20.8) amongst all the duos who took the floor at least 300 minutes together this season.

LeBron James to make another pass to Caruso

In a recent interview for The Athletic, Caruso shared the secret to his floor chemistry with the three-time NBA champion.

“Well, LeBron is really good. I’ve joked around with Quinn before that, hey, you want to be on the court when LeBron goes on those personal 10-0 runs. That helps the plus/minus a little bit. But I just think we have good chemistry. We both know how to read defenses and take advantage of mistakes. He’s obviously on a different level than I am, but I do a really good job of it as well. And I recognize how teams play him and play off that. I think we complement each other pretty good.” 

Caruso has spoken about his connection with LeBron a few weeks ago. In his interview with Zach Lowe, he said that one of the biggest milestones of the two’s on and off the court relationship involved him earning LeBron’s trust. LeBron has praised his connection with Caruso too.

We can only hope for the best in the playoffs. LeBron and his team have to win his championship. That’s his way of keeping a promise. LA goes big this time and we all hope for a championship title.
