The undoubted Greatest of All Time just pinned James Harden against the backboard. This Los Angeles Lakers superstar is leading his squad during their potential elimination game against the Houston Rockets. But before MJ-stans revolt, we're don't mean LeBron James. We're talking about the true GOAT ā€“ Alex Caruso.

Caruso trailed James Harden on a fast break play during the 2nd frame. But he hustled back and pinned the lay-up on the backboard, as the great ones do.

The Lakers are riding a double-digit lead at halftime against the Rockets, who are fighting tooth and nail to stay alive in this postseason. Although they have a comfortable 3-1 lead right now, Los Angeles definitely wants to end it tonight.

It's a safe bet Alex Caruso will do everything in his power to make that happen.
