The 2021-22 NBA season finally comes to a close. After months of intense basketball, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors came up on top. Interestingly enough, while the basketball action grabbed most of the attention, a fake ‘Klay Thompson’ had his fair share of headlines too. However, his fame was short-lived. He was caught sneaking as Klay Thompson into the arena and was banned for life. And talking about this issue, Shaquille O’Neal had an interesting proposition for Klay.

Shaq said, “I would have had Klay call him and if they’d win, I’d make them celebrate together. How viral would that go?” Being from the media industry, Shaq knows all about making things viral. Interestingly enough, the ‘Fake Klay Thompson’ actually managed to get past 5 layers of security before Game 5 of the finals. Talk about sneaking in!

Dawson Gurley, aka the ‘Fake Klay Thompson’, is a popular YouTuber who grabbed a lot of attention during the NBA Finals. Before Game 5 of the finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics, he snuck in, pretending to be Klay.

However, his time in the arena was short-lived as the security got hold of him. Subsequently, he was made to leave and was also banned from the Chase Center for life! Fans and professionals across the world have labeled his ban as being too harsh.

Klay Thompson, along with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala won their fourth NBA championship. The Golden State Warriors got the better of the Boston Celtics in the 2021-22 NBA finals in incredible fashion.
