Sports this 'n' that

 Prior to Monday's game 5 of the NBA Finals, a well known YouTuber showed up at Chase Center (formerly Oracle Arena), pretending to be Golden State star Klay Thompson.

Dawson Gurley was shooting baskets on the court before he was ejected from the building, and banned from Chase Center indefinitely. He even had the gumption to post the banishment letter on social media....

Just because he looks like Thompson, but isn't built the same way enables Gurley to have a following on YouTube. However, the party's over for Gurley, who gets the Weasel ears for his brazen stunt. Apparently, he spent too much time bingeing the same State Farm commercial where Alfonso Ribiero pretends to be Chris Paul.

I'd say Gurley would be a good candidate for To Tell The Truth.

Just 2 1/2 months ago, the Hardy Boys were in town at the Washington Avenue Armory.

This morning, Jeff Hardy is waking up to the reality that he may have put his wrestling career in jeopardy yet again.

As fellow blogger Chuck Miller noted, Hardy was picked up Sunday night for DUI and driving with a suspended license, his third DUI arrest in the last four years. Hardy posted bond Monday night, and his status for tomorrow's AEW Dynamite show in St. Louis is questionable at best. A YouTube commentator suggested that Hardy should seek help from wrestler-turned-yoga guru Diamond Dallas Page, who successfully rehabilitated Jake "The Snake" Roberts (now a manager with AEW) and the late Scott Hall in recent years. Two other wrestlers, Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho, sought other forms of rehabilitative therapy to defeat their addictions within the last year or two, and it wasn't so long ago that Jericho & Hardy shared the stage at a concert.

Music is Hardy's other passion, one that right now is safer to pursue.

Update, 2:29 pm (ET): AEW has suspended Hardy without pay while he goes through a rehab program.

The Atlanta Braves will have to move forward for the summer without slugging 2nd baseman Ozzie Albies.

Albies suffered a fractured foot in Monday's win over Washington, and will miss at least a month or two. Orlando Arcia, whom the Braves acquired a while back, will fill in at 2nd in the interim as the Braves, winners of 12 in a row, have trimmed the Mets' lead in the NL East to 5 games as of today.
