Somebody in the Los Angeles Lakers security team might be getting fired for this.
A YouTuber decided he wanted to get inside Crypto.Com arena for a playoff game featuring the Lakers and Warriors, but not as a fan, but as a player.
The guy decided to impersonate Lakers star bench player Austin Reaves by changing his eye color, renting his exact car, and wearing some of his pregame outfits to bring it all together.
Just by wearing a mask over his face, he was able to get inside and onto the court likely hours before the game even started.
The fact that atleast one person had to look at his face and couldn’t figure it out is just not good at all.
The second-year player continues to shine, as he scored 21 points on Monday as the Lakers won Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinals against the Warriors to take a 3-1 series lead.
