Quincy Olivari gets emotional after meeting Steph Curry
In October, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry made a sweet gesture to one of his biggest fans, who is currently playing in the NBA. LA Lakers rookie Quincy Olivari made it public during the 2024 NBA preseason that he was a huge fan of Curry growing up.
After getting to play against his idol in one of their preseason games, Olivari shared what Curry told him after the game.
"It's crazy 'cause I liked (Steph Curry) since I was in sixth grade," Olivari said in the press conference. "I don't even know what to say man. (Curry) is my favorite player ever. First thing he told me was that, 'I'm a big fan of your game.' Truth be told I'm a big fan of him."
A week later after the emotional press conference, Curry surprised the Lakers rookie with a collection of his signature Under Armour shoes. Before sending the stack of sneaker boxes, the Warriors star reacted to Quincy Olivari's appreciation post on Instagram. Steph commented:
"Pleasure bro. Appreciate you being a real one and letting me know the history!!"
