Security at the Chase Center is apparently not very good.
On Monday night, Klay Thompson impersonator Dawson Gurley AKA Big Daws revealed that he had been banned for life from the Chase Center after he fooled security and was able to get onto the court to shoot hoops hours before game 5 of the NBA finals.
At game 5 and @warriors just banned me for life from their arena.

Banned bc I walked pass 5 layers of security guards (who willingly let me through security without asking for ID) & shot around on the court for 10 minutes. I also spent 10K on tickets which they are not refunding. Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent?

Dawson released the video of his latest prank, showing how easy it was for him to get into the arena through the VIP entrance. In the video, one of the security personnel even told Dawson, “let’s get a dub today, Klay’ as he made his way through the backstage corridor.
Gurley is adamant that he didn’t deliberately attempt to fool Warriors security and that they just let him in without asking questions.
Technically, I did not trespass.I talked to security, went through metal detectors and walked right into the building. They welcomed me with open arms. I also never claimed to be Klay. https://t.co/FbmnKWlwTs
