Rookie Lakers player Quincy Olivari got choked up talking about Steph Curry gifting him a pair of autographed shoes after a preseason game.

With Steph Curry, LeBron James, and a plethora of other players watching from the bench, there was an opportunity for non-rotational players to get a chance to shine. This gave 23-year-old Quincy Olivari on the Lakers a chance to play in front of his hero - Steph Curry.

Olivari, an undrafted free agent who signed with the Lakers this summer after five seasons of college basketball, started the Lakers' preseason tilt against the Golden State Warriors on Friday at Chase Center. Olivari's childhood hero Steph Curry didn't play, but the two players chatted after the game and took a picture together.
