Lakers rookie Quincy Olivari gets emotional as he talks about playing in front of “favorite player of all time” Steph Curry

Los Angeles Lakers guard Quincy Olivari led all players with 22 points in a 132-74 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

It was an impressive performance from the undrafted Olivari, who played his college ball at Rice and Xavier as he looks to earn a spot on the Lakers' roster. Olivari's night meant even more to him considering who was watching from the Warriors' bench.

Stephen Curry did not play in the game and is Olivari's favorite player. When Olivari was asked afterwards what it was like to meet his idol and play in front of him, he burst into tears.

After the game, Olivari posted photos on Instagram of himself posing with Curry on Friday, the signed shoes the four-time NBA champion gave him and one of a younger Olivari wearing a Curry jersey for Christmas.

Olivari also included a video of himself getting a jersey signed by the two-time NBA MVP as a child.

Curry commented on Olivari's post, saying, “It's my pleasure bro. I appreciate you being a real person and letting me know the story!”

It was a dream come true for Olivari on Friday night when he met Curry. Next on his list is securing a spot on the NBA roster as the regular season begins Tuesday night.
