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

On Friday evening they played their last 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 three-point range (the Lakers lost 132–74).

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

When asked about Curry, Olivari became emotional (h/t Spectrum SportsNet).

Olivari: “I’ve liked him since I was in sixth grade. I don’t even know what to say. That’s my favorite player ever. The first thing he said to me was like, I’m a big fan of your game .Honestly, I’m a big fan of his. I had his jersey. He signed it twice. I used to sleep under that jersey so much, just to be able to meet him me and then we could talk in the back. He gave me a pair of his shoes and signed them.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin added a video of Olivari meeting Curry as a child.

Via McMenamin: “Quincy Olivari showed Steph Curry this video after the game and then walked out of the arena wearing a pair of shoes signed by Steph.”

The Lakers play their first game of the 2024-2025 season on Oct. 22 when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Los Angeles.
