Fake Klay banned from Chase Center for life

[Shock Defeat]

Surprised people are still on this guy, his content is one hitter quitter type material. The whole nerd baller thing was aight but not really that interesting and pranks like what market is that even? apparently it's huge lol w/e its just funny how people can get so much traction on the internet but still be completely unknown to the majority of the world

Pranks are huge on Youtube especially since Youtube caters heavily to the under 20 demographic, they think even the cruel pranks are **** hilarious.

Many youtubers have generated millions of subscribers from just doing prank videos.

Aren’t prank videos dead. 2013 was when it was popping with Vitaly, RomanAtwood, Fousey, and others. Once everyone realized that they were fake as **** people stopped caring. Now Daws is authentic as are a handful of pranksters, but it’s way harder to grow subs as a prank channel. Pretty much every prank idea has been done before.

I've not seen a new "big" prank channel.

It might be harder I really don't follow the prank world, but I imagine **** can be redone a bit. Maybe Youtube makes this harder by sorting similar prank videos together, but it's like saying that every joke from a stand-up comic is unique which is not the case. We have seen probably 100's of thousands of hours of stand-up on video alone, and many comedians will have similar material but it doesn't mean they can't succeed because their material is similar to another stand-up comedian.

Maybe in the prank world a swarm of people downvoting and commenting negative **** happens if you try to make a similar prank video 1-2 years later.

I hope his 10 minutes of fame is worth it

The multi millionaire youtuber who's created multiple channels, created multiple other millionaires....and you think THIS was his 15 minutes of fame? LMFAO! This guy is as well known as Klay is lol.

I guess you can not read, I said 10 minutes, not 15

Lol I'm pretty sure his point remains the same whether 10 min or 15 min

Heeey now. Thats 50% more fame!!!! Lol

[Rainwater]

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

Did he walk into the Arena that is question? Lol. I don't understand how people don't see this as an issue.

The player parking was literally INSIDE the arena! So no, he DROVE into it lol.

When I say Arena I'm not talking about the Arena garage where the players park (which is bad enough he got into), he literally got on the court. And I am not even certain he even parked in the garage as there is only video of him entering but not parking. And if he did park I am certain he would have been towed once they found out that wasn't Klay. If I had to guess he drove in and drove out without stopping. It is even more evident he did not park inside the Arena as he is seen walking out to his car out side the Arena at the end of the video. This last video is the farthest he got into the Arena.

[KIRAG]

Warriors could have signed him for two years when Klay was rehabbing

So just say the court? He got onto the court lol. The last video clearly shows him walking around where he clearly wasn't supposed to be, though I guess "clearly" to me. I've never been to that arena so if someone knows more I'll take their word.

All this said, if someone can legit walk onto the court, and shoot for 10-15 minutes...without ONCE getting questioned. I'm sorry that's 100% on the security and staff. They should be thanking him for showing how horrible their security is.

Always surprised that people fall for this, but apparently there's a pretty big variability when it comes to face recognition.

To me this dude isn't close to resembling Klay, but I've seen people fall for "fake" celebrities quite a few times.

Youtube has actively tried to cut the prank stuff out and has more or less done that.

In person things are always completely different than on camera. Here he had a hoodie on for crying out loud.

[Zvaart]

This is hilarious

[axeman23]

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.

*Real Klay gets caught in Boston traffic before game 6. Fake Klay arrives on time, gets seen by security parking his car and gets ushered onto court. Real Klay finally arrives, but gets tased by security as he comes out of the tunnel opening while Fake Klay watches on sheepishly from the team huddle...

[Bologna Smasher]

Klay needs to come out and rescue his brother. Lifetime ban is unacceptable for such a quality athlete.

[PlatinumState]

I hope they revoke the ban for life. Super harsh, he didnt hurt anyone

[DroseReturnChi]

This guy is a huge YouTuber, he has over 8 million subscribers ("and growing", like our own bradybunch likes to say).

If I'm the Warriors, I unban him and arrange a meeting with the real Klay to do some promotional/charitable stuff.

Huge misstep by the Warriors, from my point of view.

That is not going to happen because he was trespassing

idiot franchise lol lost 8 million fans. lifetime ban isnt for that you know it better.

They should have capitalized on it. I agree.

This is free PR for the franchise, players and can promote other initiatives they may have (charity, STH etc). Instead the Dubs' security looks pretty foolish and the team looks greedy not refunding his tix.

On the flip, the franchise doesn't want repeats of this so they come down hard. I get it. But either way repeat attempts can happen and all team security is probably on notice of it.

[stormi]

Here's a clip

Read on Twitter

It's actually (less cringe and) a bit more funny than I thought it was going to be.

[JN61]

Good. This kind of nonsense should have been stopped years ago from this guy. I hope this sets example for other clowns trying to pull same kind of stuff.
