Moreover, Thompson is usually seen sporting a headband similar to that of Jackie Moon. The actor sported a vintage-style jersey, shorts, and iconic headbands before the game.
Although we might not see Moon in action in a real game, the crowd got a taste of his skills. He took shots with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and also managed to put a shot in from mid-court. Furthermore, Moon showed his technique with a couple of underhand free throws.
There's a new Splash Bro in town.
