Alex Caruso was the offseason acquisition that put the Oklahoma City Thunder over the top.
In a season that lasted to the very last day, OKC needed every bit of its roster to make the difference and win an NBA title. Caruso is certainly a difference maker, albeit in a way not all that common in the modern NBA.
He's a tenacious defender and a high-IQ offensive player who simply impacts winning.
And he isn't lacking for confidence.
Caruso broke out an incredible shirt for the Thunder's championship parade on Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
It depicts Mt. Rushmore, except it doesn't have the heads of Presidents on it. Instead, there are just four Caruso heads.

Caruso is now a two-time NBA champion. He claimed his first ring with LeBron James and the Lakers in the Bubble in 2020.
This time around, Caruso got to show off his craft in front of hostile road crowds and adoring home supporters.
He certainly earned the title, and the shirt.
