YouTuber Dawson Gurley, also known as fake Klay Thompson, has been tricking people for years now.
Somehow, he genuinely has gotten fans to believe he’s the real Klay instead of the great value version. He got them in 2017. Then he got them again in 2018. This dude is an absolute menace.
There are some pretty key differences between the two here, though. Sure, fake Klay is good at basketball. But Klay Thompson is, well, obviously an NBA player. Fake Klay is also not 6’7 which, clearly, the real Klay is.
So you’d think, from the outside looking in, it’d be pretty easy to spot the difference between fake Klay and real Klay.
But…apparently, the Warriors’ security team can’t? Sheesh.
Gurley managed to walk into the Chase Center and walk through five (!!!!) layers of the team’s security staff with no hassle whatsoever. He made his way to the actual court and got up shots for 10 whole minutes before someone actually said something.
Yes, this really happened. He caught it all on camera.

“We could just go into the locker room if we wanted to,” Dawson said to the camera in clear disbelief after sneaking in. And, yeah. Yeah, he totally could’ve. Which is pretty wild to think about.
That is hilarious but, also, like….yo? Really? He got through that easily, huh? The team’s security even thought it was funny.
The warriors banned this guy & security was totally cool with him bruh smh!!!

As funny as this was, though, it earned fake Klay a lifetime ban from the Chase Center, per SFGate. He tweeted the ban letter out

fHonestly, that feels a bit harsh? But, on the other hand, at least they didn’t call the police and get him arrested for trespassing because they absolutely could’ve.
This was just wild. NBA fans got quite the laugh out of this.
That’s wildddd 😂 https://t.co/YYk2eti0kZ

This was fantastic. Unfortunately, we’ll never see it again.
