NBA Players as Iconic Halloween Villains

All right, all right, we heard you. We will do a mash-up of current NBA stars as iconic Halloween movie franchise villains.

Before we journey onward, a should-go-without-saying-but-still-necessary housekeeping note: This entire exercise is neither serious nor literal. We are not deriding player appearances or insinuating anything sinister about them as people.

This is exclusively meant to be fun, silly and even a little stupid. And it aims only to cast these stars based on their basketball qualities.

Snark will be mixed in, because duh. And some selections will be reaches, because, well, obviously. But that’s it. There is no deeper meaning beyond the fun, silliness and even-a-little-stupidness of it all.

Happy Halloween.

Consider everything we know about The Predator, a hunter of fellow hunters, boasting ultra-aesthetic boulder shoulders that double as weaponized cannons, with the ability to slay victims in a variety of go-go-gadgety yet gory methods that basically amount to similar variations of being more advanced and sentient and extraterrestrial than you.

All of that encapsulates the typical Giannis Antetokounmpo experience in transition, on half-court drives and with every single one of his dunks.
