A youtubeur made the prank of the year. He was even banned for life from the NBA room of the Golden State Warriors for going through security while disguised as Klay Thompson!
The NBA is the most prestigious basketball league in the world where the show is in every game, especially during the Playoffs.
This year’s Finals pits the Golden State Warriors against the Boston Celtics. After two victories for each side, the two teams played Game 5 at the Chase Center, the Warriors’ home in San Francisco, California.
It was on this occasion that a content creator decided to take matters into his own hands and to become an NBA player for a moment. Yes, Stephen Curry’s teammates almost welcomed a new member to their squad…
YouTuber infiltrates Warriors posing as Klay Thompson
With an almost perfect physical resemblance and dclothes in the colors of the Warriors, thehe youtuber BigDawsTV impersonated NBA player Klay Thompson.
But he didn’t just sign a few autographs for the supporters around the stadium. Indeed, he literally infiltrated inside through the entrance of the team’s players. He filmed his entire prank and uploaded a special video to his YouTube channel.
Upon entering the stadium, everyone mistook him for Klay Thompson, including security who didn’t even ask him for ID.
He went through the security gates one by one until he reached the floor. He settled down quietly to carry out his little training routine for about ten minutes, the dream of many basketball fans!
Klay Thompson’s impersonator is finally exposed
But his adventure ended quickly since he was spotted and kicked out of the stadium a few moments later. And his little troll didn’t make everyone laugh… He received an official letter with a lifetime ban of the Warriors room.

That’s not all because the youtuber has also lost $10,000 of non-refundable tickets. “I was banned because I went through 5 layers of security guards (who purposely let me through security without asking for ID) and spun on the floor for 10 minutes. I also spent 10,000 tickets which they don’t refund. Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent” he said on Twitter.
Banned bc I walked pass 5 layers of security guards (who willingly let me through security without asking for ID) & shot around on the court for 10 minutes. I also spent 10K on tickets which they are not refunding. Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent?

Daws must have done the prank of the year by going to practice on the floor of an NBA team and signing autographs and photos with fans outside.
Even if it cost him a small fortune, he preferred to laugh because in the end, he realized a childhood dream: “Was it worth losing $10,000 on tickets and getting banned for life? Absolutely. I was an NBA player for 10 minutes” he added for his Twitter pin.
Was it worth it to lose 10K on tickets and be banned for life? Absolutely. I was an NBA player for 10 minutes bro ??
