Alex Caruso cracks joke about 'bubble ring' after winning 'real' ring with Thunder
By Tyler Reed
The Oklahoma City Thunder were the superior team all season long in the NBA, and on Sunday night, the team capped off their impressive season with a championship.
It took seven games to conquer the pesky Indiana Pacers, and now the celebration has begun for the Thunder faithful.
The Thunder were led by league and Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams. However, players like Alex Caruso played a pivotal role in the team winning a title.

Caruso knows what it's like to win a title, as the now two-time champion was a part of the Los Angeles Lakers squad that hoisted the Larry O'Brien during the bubble season.
However, if you see discussions about the bubble season on social media, you will see many haters calling that Lakers title a fraudulent ring. Caruso has heard those conversations and had a little fun with that in his postgame comments after the Thunder win.

No matter, Caruso is soaking up the moment with his Thunder teammates, and this team has a real shot at becoming a dynasty.
