Klay Thompson is hard to guard when he’s not on the court.
A fan impersonating the Golden State Warriors shooting guard attended their 2017-18 season-opening loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena. The Thompson impostor didn’t just look the part (facially) when seated or standing just behind the Warriors bench. He also dressed the part.

The Warriors and their fans seemed to enjoy fake Thompson’s presence, too.

Thompson scored 16 points, including four three-pointers, and grabbed six rebounds in the 122-121 loss.
His impostor, however, couldn’t find the bottom of the net.
