LA Lakers guard Quincy Olivari has emerged as one of the most talked-about two-way players in the NBA this season. Olivari, who has been playing with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League, was called up to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, providing an extra hand for the Lakers’ 107-98 win.
It was Olivari’s first-ever NBA game, hitting a 3-pointer for his first points in his career after three attempts. After the game, Olivari expressed that he had an ambitious dream.
“I hope it’s 3 points of 50,000. … I like to dream big,” Olivari said.
No one has ever reached 50,000 points in their NBA career. The closest player to be in the running for the unprecedented feat is Lakers superstar LeBron James, who currently boasts 41,003 total career points as the all-time NBA leading scorer.
