'Birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving. This is all wrapped in one for Junior,' said grandmother Sharrie Jenkins. 'This is a celebration.'
"He hasn't stopped smiling since we've been here, and that is a sign of joy," said Sharrie Jennings, Ladavionne's grandmother, during the game.
Ladavionne is still working to walk and speak again, but one thing the shooter couldn't take from him was his love for the Warriors. "When he get this voice back, I'ma have him up here yelling and screaming for the Warriors then [laughs]!" Sharrie said. . The Warriors and Timberwolves saw WCCO's story about the birthday surprise and arranged to host Ladavionne and his family in the suite.
"Birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving. This is all wrapped in one for Junior," Sharrie said."This is a celebration." But the party was only getting started. Steph Curry, the NBA superstar and Warriors' best player, wanted to meet Ladavionne after the game -- his biggest fan who's been through so much."Glad we got the win for you," Steph said to Ladavionne."We thank you so much for supporting me and the whole team.
