Halloween is still over two weeks away but with the NBA season set to kick off tomorrow, some players got in on the Halloween festivities this past weekend.
The Oklahoma City Thunder hosted their annual costume party on Saturday night which was highlighted by an epic "White Men Can't Jump" costume courtesy of Russell Westbrook and Nick Collison.
Both of their wives got into character for the costume party too, as Russ and his wife Nina showed up as Sidney and Rhonda Deane, while Collison and his wife pulled off Billy Hoyle and Gloria. Given Westbrook's sense of style, he probably had the Sidney Deane get up just lying around in his closet.
Check out the finished product below, as well as some of the other costumes from the Thunder's annual Halloween party, including Carmelo Anthony's White Walker.

The Thunder will open up their regular season schedule at home on Thursday, October 18th against the New York Knicks.
It has been a busy off-season for OKC, not only did they complete trades to acquire Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, but they also signed Russell Westbrook to a historic five-year $205 million contract extension - the richest deal in NBA history.
Not only does the five-year extension guarantee that Westbrook will be in OKC for the long-term, it also gives the Thunder a much better chance at resigning All-Star forward Paul George, who is due to become an unrestricted free agent in July. George has openly expressed interest in returning home and playing for the Los Angeles Lakers but his best opportunity to win an NBA title may be staying in OKC alongside Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony.
