It’s Halloween! And who better to celebrate a kids’ holiday that turned into a payday for candy and costume companies than people who play kids’ games for a living!
Your ‘athletes in Halloween costumes’ roundup
It’s 2013. There is a picture of every athlete in their Halloween costume.
Yes, athletes, too, celebrate Halloween. We tried to round up all the pictures that made their way onto social media. (There are probably about a million more out there, because athletes have cell phones. Help us find them!)
Christian and Sam Ponder as Squints and Wendy Peffercorn from The Sandlot:
Sydney Leroux and Alex Morgan as Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke
Bill Belichick as a pirate:
The Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin Durant is Jason from Friday the 13th, Nick Collison is Walter White from Breaking Bad, Thabo Sefolosha is a pharoah, and, well, we don't really know what Steven Adams is on the left. Maybe they don't do costumes in New Zealand, or something. Work on it, rook.
Jeremy Lamb also wore a skeleton costume that was too small for him and didn't even take off his basketball shoes:
And Kendrick Perkins was the Big Bad Wolf with Little Red Riding Hood:
The San Antonio Spurs: Marco Belinelli as stereotype-friendly Mario, Manu Ginobili as Buzz Lightyear, Nando de Colo as the Mad Hatter, and Kawhi Leonard as a random sailor
Tony Parker was Captain Hook:
The Oklahoma coaching staff as assorted things, notably one as Mark Stoops: 
Bob Stoops did not have as much fun with it: 
And Mack Brown... we think

Lou Williams of the Hawks as The Joker
Jason Richardson as Trinidad James:
The Colorado Avalanche as the Royal Family, starring top pick Nathan MacKinnon as the royal baby, Jean-Sebastian Giguere as Prince William, Jamie McGinn as Prince Harry and some poor soul we can't figure out as the queen.
Lavoy Allen of the 76ers as Justin Bieber:
LeGarrette Blount as a SWAT agent, Brandon Spikes as a suicidal pirate, and Aqib Talib as... something. Pats Pulpit had a full roundup of all the Pats at their Halloween party at a local roller rink.
