Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker became a postseason hero in Game 4 vs. the Golden State Warriors, coming off the bench with a fourth quarter explosion that helped lead LA to victory. The series could have looked much different if Walker did not have that Game 4 performance, which earned him the resect of not only his teammates and fans, but opponents as well.

Following the series, Warriors star Steph Curry gifted Walker a signed jersey that read, "To Lonnie, keep building! All love! Will never forgive you for Game 4!"

It was a very cool gesture from Curry, who clearly has a lot of respect for Walker. While losing in that fashion in Game 4 was tough for Golden State, they certainly have to respect what Walker did, exploding off the bench after being in and out of the rotation all season.

The gesture also had to mean a lot to Walker, who clearly earned the respect of his opponents. An all-time great like Steph Curry showing love in that way is incredible to see, and certainly much deserved for Walker.

With the Warriors eliminated, the Lakers will now advance to face the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. It was a hard fought series between LA and Golden State, but it will be the Lakers who get to move on and chase a title.
