This is all new to me so forgive me but wouldn't banning the fake Klay famous youtube guy followed by a lifting of the ban after fans protest be a great way to launch a collaboration?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Cool, I guess but it's like comparing Coca-Cola to RC Cola.


Mr.Beast isn't really a prank guy, is he? This guy is a prank guy who's pretty popular on youtube, and happens to impersonate Klay Thompson fairly well. I guess he does the giving money away thing as well. I recently used a picture of his to represent Klay Thompson in a realgm thread, and it probably fooled some people.


People were hyping this guy up for being nice with some of his pranks and giving away money, I haven't watched any of Fake Klay Thompsons stuff so only going by what people are saying on this thread and looking at a few of the opening picture and premise of Youtube videos they posted.

Mr. Beast is one of the most generous Youtubers by a landslide, thus the comparison. Mr. Beasts life goal is die completely broke, and give away all his money not have some large stack of it to give to his inheritors.


you dont actually believe that, do you?? his scheme is a money making machine. The more money he invest in his content, the more he makes because more ppl watch = more revenue from sponsors/ad revenue... i can guarantee if this guy wasnt making money from his content, his "giveaway" would disappear.... its all business.

Yeah I would have thought the venture capitalist would have some appreciation for risk taking and guerilla marketing.

He gives away money for views and a million other YTers do the same thing. It’s not bc he’s a charity.

With the ridiculous amounts he has given away it does seem pretty damn accurate, he goes out of his way to give money out. Is it still less than he brings in? Sure of course, but unlike most people on Youtube that are huge he gives away about 20-30 times what they do.

He still needs money to pay his bills, and other things like that he isn't going homeless giving away every single dollar he brings in. People act like every Youtuber just throws money away which is not the case, plenty of the biggest Youtubers have almost 0 vides of them giving money away at all.

Basically it's like you are ripping on a guy making say $250k a year that gives away half of that to charity or other similar things every year. Since he is not giving away everything, and he still has enough money to live on.

But the Warriors allegedly drew the line with Gurley's antics after he walked past five layers of security guards, made it all the way to the court and shot around for about 10 minutes ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals series against the Boston Celtics.


That's a security problem.

Yeah I met him on ASU campus a few years ago when he was doing a video that I think was something along the lines of giving people iPhones if they got some trivia questions right. Pretty cool

They'll unban him. Just have to go by protocol so other people don't try to imitate his stunt.

He's been there a number of times with tens of millions of people knowing about it lol.


I don't think he sneaked in like he did today.


He parked in the arena (player parking) and took photos with security....lol

What's the point in banning him when their security is clearly not capable of enforcing the ban?

If they try to stop him they have a 50-50 shot of kicking out the actual Klay Thompson.
