WATCH: Steph Curry surprises 10-year-old Warriors fan with tickets after video of her crying goes viral

Seeing your favorite player live is a thrill that not every fan gets to have. For young fans, the anticipation and excitement of seeing an athlete you look up to in person is unmatched. There are sometimes, however, moments of disappointment.

One young Golden State Warriors fan was over the moon to see Steph Curry, her favorite NBA player, on Monday but was devastated when No. 30 missed the Warriors game against the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center

The young fan was holding a sign that read, "Go Warriors, MVP Steph Curry," with photos of Curry and and the Warriors logo. She was emotional over not seeing Curry play:

Don't worry, though, this story has a happy ending.

Due to a COVID-19 postponement makeup game, the Warriors were back in Denver a few days later and Curry wanted to be sure the superfan was there to see him play. The Warriors gave tickets to the young fan and her entire family so they could finally see the three-time champion on the court.

Curry even went so far as to meet with the fan for a bit before the game. She was crying again, but this time it was happy tears. The two-time NBA MVP walked over to fist bump the fan and she was overwhelmed by Curry's kindness.

Safe to say she will remember this moment for the rest of her life. Her amazing day didn't end there, as the Nuggets also had a gift for her.

The Nuggets tweeted, "You know we had to do our part and hook them up with some MVP jerseys."

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst. "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...
