A positional rundown of your favorite player’s Halloween costume
As October wanes, so too doth the moon, Mavs fans, bringing us once again to that fabled time of trembling and terror!! Y’all know what I’m talking about! That’s right, the 2024 Mavericks Halloween costume guide! (This monster was composed the week prior to the season opener ((there wasn’t much to write about)) ). Without further ado, here’s is this year’s (absolutely shameless) player by player costume breakdown.
Dwight Powell: Herman Munster
This one is a no-brainer (Frankenstein did have a brain, yes). For the 10th year in a row, Powell gets the nod to be Frankenstein’s most beloved iteration (because, well, he kinda looks like him). Pop some bolts into that thick neck, paint him green, and voila! he’ll be dancing to the Monster Mash in no time. Watch your face, Dwight!
OMax Prosper: C. Auguste Dupin
Edgar Allen Poe’s famous detective who solved the murders of the Rue Morgue was… well, French. Seems like a good fit for our man, Prosper. If this guy makes strides this year, watch out, NBA. Oh, and here’s a picture of a really cute cat detective. 🙂 MEOW!
Dereck Lively II: A genie
Imagine rubbing that rusty old lamp in your parent’s attic and seeing a 7-foot-tall genie name D-Live pop out to grant your wish. You might wish for a new pair of drawers.
Daniel Gafford: Grim Reaper (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey)
Tall, formidable, jocular… He may have a dirty job to fulfill, but this guy likes to have fun. Good thing he’s playing basketball and not Battleship, am I right?? Am I right???
P.J. Washington: Han Solo
Washington has quickly become a fan favorite, in large part due to his swashbuckling attitude on the court and willingness to count on himself in big moments. On an aside, I just realized that the new Dwyane Wade statue looks strangely similar to Han Solo frozen in carbonite…
Kyrie Irving: Captain Jack Sparrow
What can we say here? You’ve never met anyone like them. Both are probably the best-ever at what they do, and like all big personalities, are both loved and hated by many. I’d say most Dallas residents trend toward the former sentiment, for obvious reasons.
Quentin Grimes: Frank Grimes (Simpsons)
I’ve got a good feeling about old Grimey this year.
Klay Thompson: Beetlejuice
A lot of people are dissing Klay before the season has even started, but I personally wouldn’t count him out. Resumes don’t lie. “I attended Juilliard, I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school, I travel quite extensively, I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that! I’VE SEEN THE EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY… NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?
Luka Doncic: Freddy Krueger
Like Freddy, while Luka might be human in the real world, he is absolutely invulnerable and truly evil in the dream world, where they both just so happen to live. Don’t fall asleep…
(I also really need this neon light for my basement).
