Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo had a lot of fun for Halloween. On Monday, the former back-to-back NBA MVP dressed up as The Incredible Hulk for Milwaukee’s marquee matchup against the Miami Heat.
The Bucks secured a 122-114 victory over their East rivals, but it is unclear how much the Hulk costume impacted Milwaukee’s much-needed victory.
Milwaukee Bucks Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Incredible Costume
Not only did Antetokounmpo walk into the arena in full costume but to take it a notch higher, the seven-time All-Star decided to do his entire post-game press conference in as The Hulk:
"Don't be scared c'mon!"

Giannis also revealed that he did this for his kids. He won’t be with his family for Halloween as the Bucks head to Canada for a matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, so this was the least he could do for his children.
NBA Stars Did Not Disappoint
To be honest, Giannis did not put too much effort into his costume. I suspect that the Hulk mask and the gloves came as a set that could be purchased off the rack, and Anteotkounmpo’s Hulk-themed shirt was also likely bought from a store somewhere.
It’s a commendable effort, but it pales in comparison to the other stars who went all out for this special occasion.
Before we reveal our Top 3 picks for this year’s Halloween costumes, we also have to give credit to a few honorable mentions. Devin Booker came in as a werewolf, while Paul George dressed up as Wally from the popular children’s book series Where’s Wally? New Orleans Pelicans swingman Trey Murphy III also deserves a mention for coming to Halloween as an NBA referee.
DBook locked in 🐺

Coming in at the third spot is DeAndre Jordan of the Denver Nuggets. His costume is very timely as the veteran reported to work as Taylor Swift — complete with the Kansas City Chiefs jacket and matching high boots:

Halloween is probably the favorite holiday of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. He’s had his fair share of memorable costumes through the years, and once again, you have to commend the effort this season as he dressed up as Beetlejuice:

At the end of the day, however, it has to be San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama who takes the grand prize this year. The 19-year-old came in as Slenderman, and you have to say that it was a perfect choice:
