Before Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night in San Francisco, Klay Thompson went to get some shots up… or so the Chase Center security thought.
Fake Klay Thompson – also known as, internet personality Big Daws or Dawson Gurley – used his uncanny resemblance to the Warriors superstar to sneak onto the court earlier this week.
