Alex Caruso says Thunder title was 'much harder' than 2020 Lakers title
Briefly

OKC's victory in the NBA Finals secured the franchise's first championship as an Oklahoma team and gave Alex Caruso his second title. Following the game, Caruso remarked that this title felt more meaningful than his previous championship with the Lakers, citing the team's younger, less experienced makeup. He reflected on the unique challenge posed by leading a younger squad to success, emphasizing that winning the title was a learning experience for himself and his teammates. His 'real one' comment was perceived by some as a jab at the Lakers' championship, sparking conversation on social media.
Now I got a real one! I think just because of the way the team is constructed now versus the team I had in 2020, it was much harder with this team just because of the experience.
It's a unique capability to be able to do that for 21-27 year old kids. For me, I've seen greats do it so I knew the way, I knew the mindset.
