After Lakewood High lost a member of its community on Sunday, students started commemorative campaigns on social media to honor basketball player Mackenzie Forrest’s life and legacy.

One effort was to get Stephen Curry’s attention — a favorite player of Little Mac, as she was called. The reigning NBA MVP took notice, and interrupted his pregame routine to give a shoutout to Little Mac before taking on the Knicks.

@StephenCurry30 thank you so much Mr. Curry. This means the world. I'm sure Lil Mac is freaking out in heaven.
