October is almost over, which
means two things are right around the corner: the start of the NBA
season and Halloween.
There are quite a few NBA
players who take Halloween seriously. From hosting lavish Halloween parties to
rocking costumes at the arena, many players go big when it comes to
their Halloween get-up.
Since Halloween is just
two-and-a-half weeks away, BasketballNews compiled a list of the
best men’s costumes worn by NBA
players over the years.
LeBron James, Pennywise and Freddy Krueger
James has splurged on several professional-level costumes in
recent years, typically opting for a scary costume from his favorite horror
movies. These are two of his best costumes.
James has also
been known to throw some great Halloween parties, including his
2016 party where he took some shots at the Golden State Warriors
following their loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA
Finals.

Robin Lopez, Batman
Lopez is a huge fan of Disney and superheros, so it’s no
surprise that he goes all out on Halloween with some epic superhero costumes.
Stephen Curry, Jigsaw
Curry showed up to a Warriors
game in a full Jigsaw costume, complete with the tricyle. We
appreciate the dedication to authentic
movie costumes. Curry’s
caption was perfect too: “Hello, I want to play a game. #Jigsaw
#DubNation” Maybe this year he’ll channel is inner
Ken and he and Ayesha
will sport some Barbie costumes.
JaVale McGee, Squid Game and Lord of The
Rings
Back when Squid Game was all the rage, McGee rocked this costume
to look like one of the workers. He gets points for the attention
to detail (the gun, gloves, mask, etc.).
McGee also gets a second shout out for this awesome Lord of The
Rings family costume. From his terrific Gandalf fit to the scary
Gollum child, this one deserves praise. The three-time NBA champion
and cosplay costumes fanatic also had a great caption: “LORD
OF THE RINGS. GET IT?”
Pascal Siakam, 50 Cent
Not only is this costume great, the video is pretty awesome too.
What makes this even better is that several weeks after Siakam
rocked this costume, he dropped 50+ points on the New York Knicks
in Madison Square Garden.
Grant Williams, Batman
This is our second Batman costume of this list and while Robin
Lopez’s costume was more professional looking, Williams gets bonus
points for wearing it during his
interviews and doing his best Batman voice.

Jordan Clarkson, Edward Scissorhands
This is a terrific couples costumeand Clarkson
deserves credit for how similar he was able to match the look from
the movie.
Bradley Beal, Flintstones
This is an adorable family costume, so it had to make the
list.
Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, Ref Killers
This photo actually drummed up a bit of controversy since Parker
and Duncan were attacking a specific ref (Joey Crawford), whom
they’d had some beef with over the years. Duncan defended the
sports costume and said they were
just “having fun… in a private atmosphere.” We’ll give him this:
it’s pretty funny.

Dewayne Dedmon, The Mandalorian
Here’s another great family costume where everyone is carrying
their weight. Mando looks great, Ahsoka is on point and you gotta
have a Baby Yoda. Terrific work all around!
