During the mundane of a December in the NBA, months before the Thunder would face the Pacers in the NBA Finals, Alex Caruso entered the locker room flossin’.

Alex Caruso is the only Oklahoma City Thunder player with NBA Finals experience. And even he has no idea what this year’s series will feel like.

As the only NBA champion on the roster, Caruso offered some much-needed perspective that his teammates need to hear, which simultaneously probably angered OKC fans.
