Cross my fingers that we see some kind of 'Carusanity' moment in the NBA a few years from now, with Caruso breaking the mold for 40 year old white truck drivers playing point guard in the NBA like Jeremy Lin did for Asians.

WATCH: Alex Caruso starts in place of Lonzo Ball, dominates
After Lonzo Ball was ruled out of tonight's NBA Summer League game with of a groin injury, a name you might recognize took his place in the Lakers' starting lineup: former Texas A&M guard/ball boy/legend Alex Caruso.
Caruso didn't get much of a warning that he'd be starting in place of Ball, but it didn't seem to matter. He put on a show against the Sacramento Kings' shiny new draft pick, De'Aaron Fox, with a vintage Caruso game: 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3PT), 9 assists, 4 steals, 4 rebounds and a block.
Next, he won the postgame.
And last, but not least, fans on social media greatly enjoyed themselves.
When it was announced that Ball would sit out, De'Aaron Fox apparently criticized him via Twitter emoji (my personal favorite type of criticism) and then deleted said emoji tweet. So when a guy most people had never heard of — our beloved AC Fresh — torched Fox all night, Twitter had a grand old time with it.
Hey woah, too far @BasedChasen. Too far.
Gig 'em, AC.
