YouTuber Dawson Gurley, otherwise known as "Fake Klay Thompson," said Monday that he was banned from the Chase Center after successfully getting onto the court before Warriors-Celtics Game 5.
It seemed too good to be true. Gurley bears little resemblance to Thompson, other than shaping his goatee like Thompson does and, I guess, wearing a Warriors uniform. If Gurley indeed breezed by stadium security by wearing a full jersey (which athletes generally don't wear when entering arenas), it would represent a major breach.
And yet it appears that may have happened.
"An individual falsely impersonated a Warriors player in a deliberate attempt to access unauthorized areas within Chase Center," a Warriors spokesperson told SFGATE.
