Alex Caruso does the unthinkable, blocks shot with his shoe and gets a tech

Few understand what men are capable of when they’re pushed into a corner. Take Alex Caruso as an example.

White boy in the NBA, no standout athletic traits, he just has a nice shot. But during last night’s contest between OKC and Orlando, Caruso was out of options and did the only thing he could with a man driving down the lane on him, grab his shoe and attempt to block the shot with it.

Alex Caruso’s heroics will not go unnoticed

Caruso was not going to let that guy get to the rim. Hell or high water, he was stopping him. Not only has he gained immense respect from me for doing this, he proved that even us white boys can get a little crazy when the chips are down.

He did what he had to do, and no one will be able to take that away from him.
