It looks like the Chicago Bulls are going to have to un-retire Michael Jordan's No. 23 jersey in the near future. In case there was any doubt in your mind as to who's going to be wearing that iconic No 23 shirt, well, there's actually just one man who's worthy of doing the same — the GOAT himself, Alex Caruso.
The new Bulls recruit went full MJ on Wednesday as he drained yet another triple for Chicago. Caruso appears to have already adjusted to life well with his new team, and this includes emulating the one and only Bulls legend in Michael Jordan (h/t House of Highlights on Twitter):

MJ himself has been known to lick his fingers on a number of occasions and apparently, Caruso has taken on this mannerism from the original GOAT.
For what it's worth, Alex Caruso was on fire on Wednesday as he helped the Bulls to a 117-107 win over Luka Doncic and the Mavs. Caruso went a scorching 6-of-7 from the field (including 3-of-4 from distance) en route to 16 points in just 23 minutes off the bench. As if that wasn't enough, the fan-favorite guard also amassed no less than six steals on the evening as he flexed his defensive prowess on the Mavs.
In all seriousness, Alex Caruso is never going to come close to Michael Jordan's level of greatness. However, it is clear that he's going to have a huge impact on the Bulls and their aspirations this season.
