Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso won his second NBA championship on Sunday, but his first came from a truly different world.

Caruso, 31, made a point of reminding everyone about that after a 103–91 win over the Indiana Pacers for Game 7. His first championship came during 2020 when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers at Walt Disney World in Orlando for the bubble tournament in response to COVID-19 at the time.
