Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso is recognized as one of the top defensive players in the NBA, known for his ability to shut down opponents. On Tuesday night, he attempted a new strategy during a game, but it wasn’t within the rules.
Alex Caruso Uses Shoe to Block a Shot
During the second quarter of the game against the Orlando Magic, Caruso seemed to block a shot attempt from Tristan Da Silva as he moved toward the basket.
However, the play had a significant flaw, which did not go unnoticed by the referees.
As he was defending, Caruso lost his shoe and was holding it in his right hand. When Da Silva tried to take his shot, Caruso used his shoe to swat the ball away.
