Alex Caruso explained his deep appreciation for Chicago and Bulls fans during an exclusive interview with NBC Sports Chicago’s K.C Johnson.
The 28-year-old is not an offensive juggernaut. But, he has fast hands, an excellent IQ and an aggressive mindset."That’s Chicago, though, right? People put their hard hats on and go to work every day," Caruso said."Rain, sleet or snow, they’re showing up and doing their job. That’s kind of the same mentality I’ve had to have to make it to the NBA and now to stick around.
"A lot of times guys come in and they make it and relax a little bit. You don’t maximize your opportunity. For me, I’m just trying to see how long I can play basketball for and a lot of that has to do with how hard you’re willing to work."He is a mainstay in the Bulls' rotation, their defensive anchor, especially with Lonzo Ball sidelined.
His importance to the Bulls is similar to that of the fans. People want to watch Caruso. He knows he has the fans' attention, and embraces the role. "They understand how hard I play the game. That’s what people want," Caruso said."They spend their hard-earned money to watch us play a game. They just want to be entertained. But they also want to know you’re giving it your all and trying your hardest. It’s their escape from reality to come watch us play. To have that responsibility, it’s a lot of fun and it’s nice to see the recognition for it.
