With the emergence of Twitter, and now more importantly Instagram, never before have we had such access to NBA players. It’s fun when they tweet photos of their food or their sneakers. That stuff’s always cool. But when Halloween hits the real fun begins.
We’ve done these post-Halloween wrap-up posts over the past two years, and there were some truly memorable costumes. Who can forget Rajon Rondo‘s classic Tiger Woods look? Or better yet, how about that time Dwyane Wade went with whiteface?
This year, the turnout wasn’t quite as good, but there are still a few classic looks. And out of every team in the league, who would’ve thought it’d be the Spurs who would be going hardest on Halloween?
Take a look at some of the best costumes from around the NBA this year.

…Here’s Stephen Jackson as one of the best fake Jokers I’ve ever seen, and Tim Duncan as the Punisher…
…Here’s Tiago Splitter, stealing Jack’s idea…
…Here’s DeJuan Blair playing it safe, and Manu Ginobili looking entirely took comfortable as a bat-killing Zorro…
…Here’s Ty Lawson being super excited either over the costume, or his new $48 million contract…
…Here’s Dwyane Wade again going all out, just as he always does…
…Here’s Damian Lillard dressed up as a member of Run-DMC…
…Here’s Kris Humphries as Eastbound & Down‘s biggest star, not realizing the incredible irony given that he’s probably the NBA’s version of Kenny Powers…
…Here’s Danny Green apparently…
…Here are the Clippers, with a bunch of super weird costumes that would fit right in at a college frat party…
…Here’s Ronny Turiaf, not needing much of a costume at all…
…Here’s Kemba Walker taking the safe route and going with 2 Chainz. Solid execution…
And of course, he may not play in the NBA, but because it’s NBA-themed, we’re including Ludacris‘ on-point impersonation of possible Rookie of the Year, Anthony Davis.
