Lakers rookie Quincy Olivari gets emotional talking about playing in front of 'favorite player ever' Steph Curry

Los Angeles Lakers guard Quincy Olivari led all players with 22 points during a 132-74 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

It was an impressive performance by the undrafted Olivari, who played his collegiate ball at Rice and Xavier, as he looks to earn a spot on the Lakers' roster. Olivari's night meant even more to him considering who was watching from the Warriors' bench.

Stephen Curry didn't play in the game and is Olivari's favorite player. When Olivari was asked afterward what it was like meeting and playing in front of his idol, he was brought to tears.
