🎃 Spooky season, but make it sports 🎃 |
 Source: Aja22wilson/Instagram. 🏀 A'ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces: The four-time WNBA MVP goes as hard for Halloween as she does in the paint — one costume just isn't enough for this hooper who loves a theme. For the past three years, she's picked classic cartoons — "Recess," "Codename: Kids Next Door," and "Scooby Doo" — and dressed up as every character. Can't wait to see what she does next. |
Steal A'ja's look: A GOAT costume checklist | ||
 | 1. | The "Candy Corn Queen" colorway of Wilson's signature sneaker is the perfect way to get in the Halloween spirit. |
 | 2. | Nothing says four-time MVP like hair the color of bubblegum. Here's a GIST team–approved option. |
 | 3. | When Wilson was unhappy with her on-court performance last season, she toned down her iconic tunnel 'fits to keep the focus on her game, and her plain white shirts became synonymous with her "locking in." Easy, cheap, comfy, and it honors the game's best. |

Even when he can't go all out because of his playing schedule, he uses his tunnel 'fits to stay in the spooky season spirit (and troll Toronto Raptors fans).

He and his wife, pop artist Ciara, set the standard with this legendary couples' costume recreating Beyoncé and Jay-Z's "Apeshit" music video, but he's also dressed up as some of the game's most famous coaches (he probably won't be going as Sean Payton this year, though). 🎃 Want to punch up your sporty Halloween costume? Don't go as an athlete, but rather as a moment. Think of the biggest, funniest, most iconic sports stories from the past year, and tailor your costume to evoke it. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
