The Best Halloween Costumes From Your Favorite Athletes

They’re in it to win it.

These athletes bring their A-game in their respective sports but also when it comes to Halloween costumes.

LeBron James as Edward Scissorhands

Even before he had access to some of the world’s best makeup artists in Los Angeles, King James brought it on Halloween. In addition to Edward Scissorhands, he’s been hockey-mask wearing Jason and scary clown, Pennywise.

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union

The power couple dressed up as the notorious lip-syncing Grammy award-winning duo Milli Vanilli. (The actual duo was stripped of their Grammy).

She posted a Twitter video of the two in costume titled “lost rehearsal footage of Milli Vanilli.”

Dwayne Johnson as Popeye

“The Rock” dressing up as Popeye seems like a no-brainer. Our favorite costume involving Dwayne Johnson might be when his “Jumanji” co-star Kevin Hart dressed up in the now famous 90s look of Johnson in a black turtleneck, gold chain, jeans and a fanny pack.

Tom Brady as a Stormtrooper

While he may follow a strict diet, Tom Brady doesn’t limit his fun when it comes to Halloween costumes. He has dressed up as avocado toast (a couples costume with his wife Gisele) and Bigfoot.

Russell Wilson and Ciara as Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson

The duo loves to channel musicians for Halloween. Their Jay-Z and Beyonce costumes (above) were clutch but they really went all out with the 90s favorites Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson. We don’t know about Wilson but Ciara certainly has the voice to go along with the costume.

What You Need To Know About Sports Most Fashionable Night - The ESPYs

Athletes ditch their uniforms for couture this Wednesday, July 20.

The ESPYs are like the Golden Globes – you get the best of both worlds. It's the one night of the year when athletes and celebrities gather to celebrate their achievements in the world of sports while giving us the summer red carpet we've all been missing.

Here for the championship-level fashion,

The Last Night's Game Team

1. Typically, the awards show takes place on a Wednesday in July after the MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game, referred to as "Black Wednesday." That's the one day a year where there are no live sports, although as sports have evolved over the year, that's not entirely true, but close. There is one morning WNBA game on the day of the ESPYs, Wednesday, July 20, but all other major professional sports are off. SO CLOSE

2. Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors (NBA - National Basketball Association) is the host of this year's ESPYs in Los Angeles. Presenters include Lindsey Vonn, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jon Hamm, Ciara and Billie Jean King.

3. The list of nominees includes household names like Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, NFL (National Football League) quarterback Joe Burrow, Olympic figure skater Nathan Chen, MLB (Major League Baseball) star Aaron Judge, WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) star Candace Parker, Olympic track and field veteran Allyson Felix and international soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé, among many others. After upsetting fans by not inviting best college player nominee Aliyah Boston to the event (and others), ESPN said the new, smaller venue and COVID-19 healthy restrictions impacted invites, which only went out to the athletes who will receive awards during the main broadcast. BIG NIGHT OUT

4. Although the ESPYs are always hosted by ESPN, the name actually stands for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award. Unlike the Oscars, where you've never heard of most of the movies, the fans get a say in who receives some of the awards like the best athlete in women's sports, best game and best team. EVERY VOTE COUNTS

5. ESPN can put together a video package that'll pull at your heartstrings while leaving you inspired, and the awards at the ESPYs are no different. Here's a quick summary of each of the major awards:

The Jimmy V Award for Perseverance will go to Dick Vitale, the ESPN college basketball broadcaster now recovering from cancer.
The Arthur Ashe Courage Award will go to Vitali Klitschko, former boxing champ and currently mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine's embattled capital city. (Also ex of actress Hayden Panettiere).
The 2022 Pat Tillman Award for Service will be presented to author, athlete, and retired Army Command Sergeant Major Gretchen Evans.

The Rundown: Happy Chrismukkah!

While the rest of the world is celebrating the holidays, we're working hard to cover the trending topics in sports. It’ll give you something else to talk about with your family besides your cousin who imbibed in a little too much spiked eggnog the night before.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

The Last Night’s Game Team

NCAA Basketball (College)

Those are some big feet. Duke University’s Grayson Allen is considered one of the best basketball players in the nation but he’s tripping…quite literally. Allen intentionally tripped an opposing player on Wednesday and he has a checkered past of intentionally tripping opponents. Duke announced he will be suspended indefinitely until he’s mentally ready to play and act like an adult.

NFL (National Football League)

Best secret Santa ever. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (aka Ciara’s hubby) took care of the guys who take care of him. He bought his offensive line (the guys who protect him from the other team’s defense) brand new TV’s for the holidays. Don’t worry, he didn’t forget about the rest of his team. He bought each teammate first class plane tickets to anywhere they want to go.

NBA (National Basketball Association)

Bringing their A game. Christmas Day is a big day for the NBA and typically features the best matchups. Sunday’s games include a rematch of last season’s NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors vs the Cleveland Cavaliers as well as a game for citywide bragging rights when the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Los Angeles Lakers.

Overtime

Tiger Woods let us know he is in the holiday spirit by sharing a picture of himself on Twitter as "Mac Daddy Santa.” Yep the photo is as weird and awkward as you think. This isn’t the mall Santa you used to visit as a child.

Sideline stat

Apparently the underwhelming University of Texas football season drove their fans to drink because stadium alcohol sales were up 70% this season compared to previous years. Alcohol sales at UT football games generated more than $3.1 million in revenue in only six home games.

Coaches’ corner

Sunday’s Christmas Day game between the Clippers and the Lakers is a home game for both teams. How? The teams share the same home arena – the Staples Center.
