Dirk Nowitzki As Lurch, and 9 Other Athlete Halloween Costumes We Love

These guys are all young at heart. 

Not all athletes are homicidal maniacs or self-important narcissists, even though it sometimes seems that way. Halloween always provides a good reminder that some athletes aren’t pricks and this year a handful of them have already shared pictures of top-notch costumes. Look, what a bunch of down-to-earth guys!

Leading the pack is Dirk Nowitzki, whose Lurch is eerily spot on. It’s not just the clothes and the makeup, but the perfect pose that make this the best athlete costume 2015, a distinction we’re sure Dirk will cherish as much as his MVP. 

Here are some other players who deserve recognition: 

Russell Westbrook as his teammate Steven Adams, and Steven Adams as nurse Joker

Kevin Durant as Martin Lawrence’s pizza delivery man in Blue Streak. And Nick Collison as Forrest Gump.
