Fake Klay's real name is Dawson Gurley, a YouTuber, and he somehow got past security although he was wearing a full-on jersey -- something athletes generally don't wear when entering arenas.

He also was banned from Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, that's the home of the Warriors' G-League team.
