Lakers Player Brought To Tears After Meeting curry

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Quincy Olivari got emotional when asked about Steph Curry.

Quincy Olivari has spent the preseason with the Los Angeles Lakers.

On Friday evening, they played their final game against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.

Olivari led the Lakers with 22 points, seven rebounds and two assists while shooting 8/16 from the field and 5/9 from the three-point range (the Lakers lost 132-74).

After the game, the former Xavier star got a chance to meet his idol (Steph Curry).

Olivari: "I've liked him since I was in like 6th grade. I don't even know what to say. That's my favorite player ever. The first thing he told me, was like I'm big fan of your game. Truth be told, I'm a big fan of him. I had his jersey. He signed it twice. I used to sleep under that jersey. I just wanted to be like him so bad, so just to be able to meet him, him be able to have some respect for me and then us to talk in the back. He gave me a pair of his shoes and signed them. That meant the world to me."
