Impersonator of Klay Thompson Big Daws, a YouTuber, claims he was banned for life from the Chase Center in San Francisco after slipping past security to the team’s court before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Gurley was supposedly able to get a couple shots off before security noticed he wasn’t the real Klay Thompson while he was there.
Gurley made the allegation on Monday, sharing a copy of a claimed letter from Brian J. Herbert, the Golden State Warriors’ Vice President of Security, informing him of his lifelong suspension.
“On June 13, 2022, you entered through the employee entrance of Chase Center prior to a GSW vs Boston Celtics NBA Finals game without a valid ticket, valid credential, or pre-approved authorization by Chase Center, GSW, or the NBA League Office,” the letter Gurley shared via social media reads. “You deliberately deceived Chase Center building personnel by impersonating a GSW employee. Your being in the Chase Center without proper credentials or authorization is in direct violation of the Fan Code of Conduct of Chase Center, GSW, and the NBA League.”
