Steph gifts Lakers' Walker signed jersey with hilarious message

Share

Steph Curry and the Warriors never will forget the name Lonnie Walker IV. 

The young guard had a big impact off the bench for the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals against Golden State. 

After the Warriors' season-ending loss to the Lakers in Game 6 on Friday at Crypto.com Arena, Curry gifted Walker his game-worn jersey and left a special message for the 24-year-old. 

"To Lonnie, keep building! All love! Will never forgive you for Game 4 ...!" Curry writes. 

Game 4, of course, is when Walker scored 15 points in the fourth quarter off the bench, helping seal a Lakers win and a three-games-to-one series lead over Golden State. 

Walker's performance stunned the Warriors and most of the basketball world.

A former first-round pick by the San Antonio Spurs in 2018, Walker struggled to establish himself as a starter in the NBA before signing a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Lakers last summer. 

It all worked out in the end, and now he has a permanent reminder of what he did to the defending NBA champions in the playoffs.
