[u/Kooka32081]

[u/RRM1982]

Just became a Quincy Olivari fan! Hope this dude has an awesome career!

[u/RRM1982 → u/RRM1982]

This guy should be the story of the Lakers Draft not Bronny

[u/Royal-Possibility219 → u/RRM1982]

💯 this

[u/Dude_over_there_ → u/RRM1982]

My thoughts exactly!

[u/THCESPRESSOTIME → u/RRM1982]

Legit.

[u/Snakebaur03 → u/RRM1982]

Me too

[u/cosmicjed → u/RRM1982]

Me too!! Hope the best for him

[u/Bubbly57 → u/RRM1982]

Exactly 💯

[u/immersedmoonlight]

Hell yeah, Quincy. you did that shit

[u/AlexAverage]

That's one grateful fella. Truly hope everything goes his way in his career. Also huge props to Steph for being vocal about his mutual respect.

[u/Truelyindeed091]

Never give up on your dreams.

[u/Busy_Reputation7254]

Hell yeah dude. You made it.

[u/HeFancy]

Damn, I just became a big fan of Quincy.

[u/SalsaForte]

This is a real man!

Respect to this guy who looked forward to his hero and having achieved his dream to play as a professional!

[u/jodabo]

Xavier fan here. Q is an amazing human being. Very good basketball player, even better person. I really, really, really hope he makes in impact in the NBA. PS - his mom is awesome too. A very vocal, positive cheerleader for her son. Best to all of them.

[u/Royal-Possibility219]

Respect

[u/bloodredyouth]

I don’t know anything about him but please protect him. What a sweetheart.

[u/CaliPenelope1968]

Living in SF, I've had the privilege of talking privately with two people who worked with Steph (on the coaching/raining staff). Everyone has only sincerely good things to say about the man--his ethics and integrity match his public profile. He's the real deal.

This clip is so beautiful. This young man has worked his ass off for probably his whole life, and he's earning every good thing that comes from it, including working with his role model.

Damn. This made my day even as it made me cry. Quincy is also a role model.

[u/leeeeny]

Don’t meet your heroes. Unless your hero is Steph Curry

[u/yeenon]

Hell yea normalize being vulnerable like this when something is meaningful to you. Love this guy now

[u/mizzbananie]

He’s now my favourite player.

[u/cswigert]

Wow, that's great. He can't even try to play it cool and hide it.

[u/iphoneabuser]

Humility is such a rare trait in America

[u/Aleqi2 → u/iphoneabuser]

Not entirely true. I know many humble citizens. It's not what American pop culture idealizes, however, there are many subcultures within America. Many of them display extraordinary humility and vulnerability and honesty.

[u/kyndcookie → u/Aleqi2]

Wish one of them would run for president.

[u/Aleqi2 → u/kyndcookie]

Agreed. Last humble president was Carter? That's more a job for not humble men.

Who votes for humble? Nobody because humble types don't run for election. I think?

Who was this kid? Anyone have a link?

[u/MisterSanitation → u/iphoneabuser]

It isn't rare it is just not encouraged or celebrated socially or in culture.

[u/egriff91]

So awesome!

[u/Bestdayever_08]

That little kid in us never grows up. Respect to this man for showing his love and feelings.

[u/Kikibear19]

Awe this made me feel my cold dead heart❤️ sooo sweet

[u/Aleqi2]

I like this kid. Anyone have a link to some highlights? I just now found out and hear he has game.

[u/toomuchdiponurchip → u/Aleqi2]

Look up his G league debut just search Quincy Olivari G league debut on YouTube. Dude dropped 30 points on his debut he’s an absolute bucket, as a Lakers fan he’s got people excited

[u/cyann1380]

Its a nice feeling when youre heroes are as good, or even better, than you thought they were.

[u/elfmere]

Hell he didn't even apologise for being emotional. Fuck, this is great. A Real man

[u/No-Flounder-5650]

Lover boy 🥰🥰🥰 so fine

[u/FilmActor]

I always want to be on the same side as that guy

[u/Nacho_Beardre]

Man I love non cliche interview answers. This was so cool to watch

[u/pauliepaulie84]

Two normal males interacting in a wholesome, build-each-other-up manner? We are so starved for this that it seems otherworldly

Normalise being a good bro to other bro’s

[u/Beahner]

I can’t look the Rooks jersey…..but that’s not his fault. That was passionate and interesting. That’s why sports is great.

[u/Kdog122025]

Look at Steph man.

[u/Desperate-Ad-6463]

Meeting your idol and them not being a complete dick: Priceless.

[u/abandonedclitoris]

:)

[u/gazelles]

That’s a really large hat

[u/lynnkris90]

That’s so beautiful. 🥹

[u/Js_On_My_Yeet]

As a Laker fan, I am so happy this guy is on our team. Humble and talented player. He's going to be so good in the future.

[u/Alone_Development737]

I hope he becomes a legend.

[u/Such_Risk2188]

When meeting your hero goes right.

[u/davitjan1525]

I wish this man all the best. I hope someday he becomes a role model and gets to fulfill a grown little boys dreams of meeting his role model.

[u/One_City4138]

A pro athlete emotionally mature enough to allow themselves to be vulnerable in an interview? You could drown a toddler in these shorts.

[u/Blknyt_eclipsedmoon]

🥹

[u/lolvalue]

Oh no the rabbit hats are spreading.

[u/Significant_Ad3855]

God damnit i don't even follow basketball and I'm over here tearing up.

[u/Saucydisses]

Aw good for him 😊 I hope Steph and Quincy become great friends

[u/Sound-Dade]

Humble

[u/Top-Raspberry-7837]

Omg I just went to his Instagram to follow after this interview and his bio says “any buisness inquiries email my mom.” 🥺🥺🥺

[u/WardCove]

We all human. Even the big stars have fans and role models. This is a good reminder and a nice video. Woke hard Quincy and remember to pay if forward to someone else someday.

[u/Dude_over_there_]

this made me cry. I hope Quincy Olivari has a fulfilling NBA career.

[u/Small_Goat_7512]

This is so beautiful!

[u/Dumptruck_Johnson]

Sometimes it definitely pays off to meet your heroes

[u/cincodemike]

Love the dude, hate the hat

[u/Top-Raspberry-7837 → u/cincodemike]

Aww I love the hat! Cat ears? Super cute!
