Growing up just down the street, Caruso honed his skills on this very court, playing in local leagues and eventually becoming a standout at A&M Consolidated High School and Texas A&M. His dedication and talent led him to the NBA, where he played a crucial role in the Los Angeles Lakers’ championship victory in 2020.

The ceremony featured a commemorative marker unveiling, speeches from local dignitaries, and a special appearance by Caruso himself. The OKC guard spent over an hour signing autographs for his adoring fans, a testament to his enduring connection to his hometown.
