The viral Golden State Warriors fan from Game 7 of their series against the Sacramento Kings received Steph Curry's game-worn shoes on Thursday. Christian Gamboa had a once-in-a-lifetime moment following the Warriors' dominant Game 2 win over the LA Lakers.
In a video uploaded by 95.7 The Game, Gamboa can be seen holding Curry's shoes from the game. He also had a Curry jersey, as well as other Warriors memorabilia in hand.
"I'm speechless, man," Gamboa said. "Thanks to all my family. They're dealing will all my craziness. ... I'm kinda tired, I lost my voice still kind of recuperating, but it's been good. It's hell of an experience."
“It’s a hell of experience. Once-in-a-lifetime.”

Christian Gamboa also got to meet Golden State Warriors forward Anthony Lamb as he was heading towards the exit. Gamboa brought the energy for Game 2 just like he did in Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings.
Gamboa went viral in Game 7 for his energy and passion. He was caught on video celebrating in the third quarter after the Warriors took a seven-point lead into a timeout with seven minutes left.
In an interview with The Morning Roast on 95.7 The Game, Gamboa discussed his viral moment and his origins of being a Warriors fan. He was a supporter through Golden State's dark times before the arrival of Steph Curry in 2009.
"We went up five and he came back down, Steph did his magic and was being a magician again," Gamboa said. "I just let it all loose, let it all out and let them hear me. I just felt like it was the Roaracle days. It kinda brought me back, too.
"Listening to all those Kings fans, they gave it all. Every time they scored or there was a turnover, that's how it used to be (in Oakland). I wish Chase Center was like that."
This Warriors fan is energized lmao 🔥 https://t.co/QKUAfrhLw7
