So what did Alex Caruso have to say about Giannis Antetokounmpo?
When asked about what it’s like to stop Giannis, Alex Caruso admitted that it is hard. However he had an interesting point to make about why. He made this comment on JJ Redick’s Old Man Podcast.
“They don’t call any offensive fouls on Giannis. It is hard to guard him.”
Over the last five years Giannis Antetokounmpo has been called for over 1,000 offensive fouls. That ranks 7th most in the NBA over that time frame. So not only is Alex Caruso wrong, but he’s top seven in the NBA over the last five seasons, level wrong. Just an absolutely abysmal take from an average player (at best). Taking it even a step further, this was posted in reply to Caruso’s comment on Twitter:
Where is Alex Caruso coming from?
Giannis Antetokoumpo certainly has a reputation of playing “bully ball.” He drives into the paint and defenders rarely have any other option but to foul. Giannis is often regarded to be the most dominant player around the basket since Shaquille O’Neal. It’s no surprise, then, to know that he gets to the free throw line quite often with the amount of contact he absorbs. To insinuate that he “never” gets offensive fouls called on him is ridiculously false and shows how out of touch Caruso is.

Caruso is a crybaby loser. He faked a prolonged injury to avoid like a quarter of a season. He’s definitely an idiot and is banking on Bostons excuses for why they lost every game they did to Milwaukee. And if the refs didn’t walk Boston into the playoffs Milwaukee would have went back to back like they should have. Oh yeah. Milwaukee ran through the Bulls before Boston and Caruso was nonexistent. So it’s his bitter and jealous vagina talking.
