Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso really established himself as a productive role player this past season.
There were a lot of questions regarding how much of the hype surrounding him was merely a byproduct of the glow that comes with being a Los Angeles Laker, but Caruso proved once and for all in 2021-22 that he is a baller.
On the year, Caruso averaged 7.4 points (second-best mark of his career), 4.0 assists (career-high) and 1.7 steals per game (career-high). He did all this while helping guide his squad to the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Caruso isn’t just winning on the court, though. He’s doing quite well off it. And for obvious reasons, his girlfriend Mia Amabile went viral ahead of the Bulls’ looming playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Amabile is a well-known model who boasts more than 260,000 followers on Instagram and is no stranger to going viral at Bulls games.
Beyond that, Amabile also frequently sets in the internet ablaze with her provocative posts:

Big picture, it will be interesting to see how Caruso and the Bulls fare in the playoffs. They started the year as the top team in the East but have cooled considerably since then.
Caruso himself has a lot to prove in the postseason as well. Things between him and the Lakers ended on really messy terms – and he likely wants to show that he can achieve playoff success just as easily in Chicago as he did in L.A.

As Caruso plays well and his stock continues to rise, the same will hold true for Amabile’s star power.
What will this dynamic duo ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
