Training camp is a time for NFL teammates to get to know each other, but it's also a great time for fans to learn more about the players on their favorite teams. On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills asked players and personnel some questions as they left the practice field, and one answer quickly caught the attention of a two-time NBA champion.

The participants in the clip were asked to name who they think is the most famous bald guy. The most common answers included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, NBA legend Michael Jordan and actor/wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

However, several people picked Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso, who ended up winning the competition, leading to a short montage of his highlights playing at the end of the video.

“There’s only one right answer ,” the Bills wrote on X while Caruso issued his response.

“Toughhh,” he replied. “Go @houstontexans.”

Caruso’s comment comes since he is a Texas native and former member of the Texas A&M Aggies men’s basketball team. He played four seasons from 2012-16 in college, averaging 8.0 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game.

He spent two seasons in the NBA G League until being signed by the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2017-18 season. He played a key role in helping the Lakers, led by All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, win an NBA championship during the COVID bubble in 2020.

Caruso then played four seasons with the Chicago Bulls before joining the Thunder last summer. He helped Oklahoma City win its first NBA title since relocating from Seattle in 2008 by averaging 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game in 23 postseason games.

Maybe the Bills can pull off a similar feat and bring Buffalo its first Super Bowl title. Led by All-Pro quarterback Josh Allen, Buffalo is looking to finally get past the Kansas City Chiefs after losing to them in the playoffs in four of the last five seasons.
