The Thunder wins the championship, but James feels embarrassed. Caruso s words reveal the real championship trophy

As the Thunder defeated the Pacers in the fierce tiebreak battle, the team finally won the championship trophy after decades. Alexander made his mark this season and became a superstar in the league. At the same time, Caruso has also successfully achieved brilliant achievements in winning championships in different teams. The Thunder are a young team, and Caruso is one of the veteran champions. He showed the importance of this identity with his actions. In the crucial tiebreak final, Caruso made two three-pointers as soon as he came on the court, putting huge pressure on his opponent on the defensive end, causing him to make frequent mistakes. During the entire series, his hard work and hard work made great achievements in winning the game for the team. After the game, Caruso did not forget to teach his teammates how to celebrate the victory, and even said in an interview that he had finally won the "real" championship trophy, saying that no one would question him again.

However, Caruso's words inadvertently triggered a lot of public opinion storm. Although he explained afterward that it was an idea that was caused by excessive drinking, it undoubtedly reminiscent of the 2020 campus championship the Lakers won. At that time, Caruso was a member of the Lakers, and that was James' fourth championship trophy. However, due to special circumstances, all teams play in the same venue in Las Vegas, and there is no distinction between home and away games at all. This environment obviously has a significant impact on the players' status. Therefore, there have always been voices in the outside world accusing the Lakers of lacking in value that year, and some people call it the "bubble champion."

Now, combined with Caruso's remarks, it seems that even he himself recognizes that the park's championship is not of high value. This not only embarrassed James, but also because Caruso was once his old teammate, implying a sense of shattering. In addition, considering that this is the last championship period in James' career, especially when he said that the number of champions should not be used to evaluate the greatness and achievements of players, Caruso's casual words undoubtedly put the value of the Lakers Campus championship on the table again, and subtly deepened the fans' impression of this, which undoubtedly had a certain impact on James.
