Way back on Oct. 18, Los Angeles Lakers guard Quincy Olivari provided NBA fans with the feel-good moment of the preseason.

In a blowout 132–74 Lakers loss to the Golden State Warriors, Olivari scored 22 points and pulled down seven rebounds. After the game, Olivari met Warriors guard Stephen Curry—an encounter that left Olivari, who grew up idolizing Curry, moved to tears.
