The second game of the NBA’s opening night is a matchup of, quite possibly, the two best teams in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors are almost universally used as the best team in the league, while the Houston Rockets are viewed as one of the squads out west that can maybe knock them off of their perch.
But listen, I do not care about this game at all. Well, I did care about this game, and then this guy showed up on Twitter, and all I care about now is learning every single thing about him.

In soccer, there is a phrase called a “full kit wanker” that is used to describe a fan who wears a full uniform. It is funny approximately 100 percent of the time. Here, we have an American full kit wanker, only instead of just wearing a Warriors uni, my man almost looks like Klay Thompson. I love him so very much, as did Twitter, which made a whole bunch of jokes.

There were jokes about how he’s the “store brand” version of Thompson.

Ceramic Thompson might drop 40 tonight if HOU isn't careful https://t.co/1pBG156IyK

Even Brandon Jennings decided to get in on the fun.

Shout out to this dude for purchasing crazy seats to watch the Warriors get their championship rings, then deciding that it was worth going all-in. This is an evening he’ll never forget, partly because of how much fun the internet had, and partly because he brought a camera to snap a bunch of courtside pictures.
