King James never fails to impress on Halloween, deciding to dress-up as Jason Voorhees from the 'Friday the 13th' horror movie series this year. Please don't say that's an axe you're holding in your hand, LeBron.
Odell Beckham Jr. opted to wear a similar mask when he rocked up at this Sunday's NFL game, however he was slightly more fashionable than scary. OBJ quoted Bane from 'The Dark Knight Rises' in his Instagram bio, saying, "no one cared who I was till I put on the mask.

Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard was unrecognisable when he rocked up at his NBA game against the Washington Wizards dressed as former WWE superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The point-guard nailed his entrance with a fake championship belt and t-shirt that had Stone Cold's catchphrase '3:16' written on it. It was so good that the real Stone Cold tweeted Lillard's outfit saying, "Oh hell yeah!!!"...and that's the bottom line!
