Trying to figure out what you want to be for Halloween? Well, look no further than our NBA brethren to find some of the best costumes out there. Some people, including NBA players, don’t even need to dress up, they already fit the part:
1) Chris Bosh – Dinosaur

As soon as this guy was drafted by the Toronto Raptors, I knew this was going to be a great fit. Not only because Chris Bosh could help Toronto’s veterans there by infusing some young legs and stretching the floor, but he looked exactly like a Raptor. He even screams like a Raptor:
2) Kelly Olynyk – Thor

Move over Chris Hemsworth, a new Thor has come to take the hammer! Kelly looks like a greek god every time he steps foot on the court. He is a 7 footer, with long, flowing hair and us Celtics fans definitely hope the guy drops the hammer this season!
3) Marco Belinelli – Mario

The Italian surprised everyone this past NBA finals, coming off the bench and giving the Spurs a huge lift. Marco can shoot the three, play aggressive defense, and sometimes looks like he needs to be hitting coin blocks rather than hitting the hardwood!
4) Anthony Davis – Frida Kahlo

Davis actually had this unibrow trademarked…#SavyBusinessMan. I expect Davis to play like a Top 5 NBA player this season.
5) Doc Rivers – Frog

Even since his playing days, Doc has looked exactly like a human frog. Numerous Doc Rivers Frog memes are out there on the internet. He has the voice, the head, and back in the day, he used to be able to jump like a frog. Doc is still a top 3 coach in the league to me, but he has his work cut out with getting the Clippers to play defense.
