It looks like the Portland Trailblazers got into the Halloween spirit a little early this tear. On Monday night, ahead of their home game against the Washington Wizards, the players walked into the stadium all dressed up in their favorite halloween costumes.
Blazers star Damian Lillard decided to dress up as s Stone Cold Steve Austin and wear a 3:16 shirt, while also rockin’ a mask of the wrestler. His costume even got a response from Steve Austin himself, who said “Oh Hell Yeah!”
Other players to dress up were Maurice Harkless, who came through dressed as the Chappelle's Show character Tyrone Biggums, and rookies Anfernee Simons & Gary Trent Jr. who both came wearing some inflatable outfits like a kangaroo and ostrich. It’s reported that veteran forward Evan Turner had this idea and actually bought the costumes for everyone.
Hopefully this is just the first of more teams to follow suit and dress up for Halloween, but we’ll have to keep you posted. Check out the Halloween costumes (below) and let us know which one was your favorite?
