Lakers' Alex Caruso Has More All-Star Fan Votes Than Westbrook, Steph Curry
Lakers' Alex Caruso All-Star Votes Keep Piling Up!!! ... More Than Russ, Steph
The Carushow may be making a stop in Chicago ... 'cause the 3rd round of NBA All-Star Game fan votes have been released ... and Alex Caruso is near the top of the list!!!
FYI, fans account for 50% of the overall All-Star voting. NBA players account for 25% and a media panel gets 25%.
The L.A. Lakers guard has become a phenomenon in the NBA over the past few seasons ... there have been memes, highlight reels and a bunch of other tributes to the 25-year-old from his cult following.
It's gotten to the point where LeBron James even calls his teammate the "G.O.A.T." every time they run into each other.
Caruso Mania has taken another step on Thursday ... 'cause the beloved player has gotten more All-Star fan votes than superstars like Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry (who has only played 4 games this season due to injury), Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell in the West.
As of this post, Alex has more than 894k fan votes!!! Seriously, the dude's even beating guys in the East like Kyle Lowry, Ben Simmons and Bradley Beal.
Yes ... it's that wild.
FYI -- 5 starters and 7 reserve players get picked for the game ... and Caruso is currently 4th in the conference for guards.
Realistically, Caruso probably won't make the final All-Star squad ... but it's fun to watch!!
Oh, and the "Bald Eagle" ain't the only fan favorite getting major love ... the 7'6" Boston Celtics giant Tacko Fall is still a possibility to make it in the East ... he's 6th in the frontcourt with more than 757k fan votes!!!
KEEP VOTING, PEOPLE!!!!
