Quincy Olivari had great joy when he met his idol Stephen Curry

“This is my favorite player ever,” Olivari said. “The first thing he said to me was, 'I'm a big fan of your game,' and to be honest, I'm a big fan of his. I had his jersey, he signed it twice. I've always slept under it.” I just want to be like him enough to get to know him so he can have some respect for me and we can talk in the background. He gave me a pair of his shoes and signed it. em, that meant the world to me.

It remains to be seen whether Olivari will ever make the Lakers' roster. At the very least, they could keep him on their G League roster and try to develop him further. But when someone like him gets so many compliments from a legend like Curry, it's a tremendously good sign.
