Oh honey, Halloween is just around the corner, you know? Time to get them costumes ready. And you say you wanna be a basketball player? Well, alright then. That’s a good one. Lots of folks like them basketball players.
Now, when you pick out a basketball player costume for Halloween, you gotta think about what you want. You want to be one of them famous ones? Or just any old player? It’s like picking out a dress, gotta find the one that fits just right, ya know?
First thing you need is one of them jerseys. You know, the shirts with the numbers? Pick a number you like. Maybe your birthday, or your lucky number. Or one of them famous player’s numbers! Like that Curry fella, he wears number 30. He was wearing a Bowser costume one time, all orange and spiky. Looked real funny, that one. But he’s a big star, that Curry.
And you need shorts, of course. Basketball player costumes ain’t complete without them shorts. The baggy kind, you know? Not them tight ones your auntie wears to the bingo. Gotta be able to move around in ’em, like you’re gonna shoot one of them… them three-pointers. That’s what they call ’em, right?
- Jersey with a number
- Baggy shorts
- Sneakers – gotta have good shoes!
- Maybe a headband, if you’re feeling fancy
And shoes! Don’t forget the shoes. Basketball player costumes for Halloween need good sneakers. You can’t be running around in your Sunday best. Gotta have them high-tops, the ones that cover your ankles. Keeps you from twisting ’em, I suppose. That’s what they say, anyways.
You can get all this stuff at them big stores, I reckon. Or maybe online, if you’re one of them computer whizzes. Just make sure you get the right size. Don’t want you tripping over your own shorts, now do we?
Now, if you wanna be one of them really famous players, you gotta do some research. That’s what my grandson calls it. He’s always on that computer, looking things up. He showed me a picture of some fella dressed up as “No Face” for Halloween costumes. Spooky, I tell ya! Another one was dressed as Woody, like from that movie with the toys. You seen that one? Cute movie.
You could be like that Slenderman fella. That’s what one of them new players dressed up as. Tall and skinny, that one. Gave me the shivers, I tell ya. But if you like that kinda thing, go for it.
Or you could be that Raygun fella. He’s a dancer, they say. Dances real fast. He wore a green and yellow suit. Lots of folks are looking for that one, I hear. “Green track pants,” they call ’em. He caused quite a stir, that Raygun. Some folks didn’t like his dancing one bit. Said it weren’t proper.
The main thing is to have fun with it. Halloween costumes are all about having a good time. Dress up, eat some candy, scare some folks. That’s what it’s all about. And a basketball player costume is a good choice, lots of people will recognize it.
You could even get one of them basketballs to carry around. The orange ones. But don’t be bouncing it in the house, now. You’ll break something, sure as I’m standing here.
And don’t forget to practice your dribbling. That’s what they call it when they bounce the ball. Up and down, up and down. Takes practice, I reckon.
So there you have it. Everything you need to know about basketball player costumes for Halloween. Just remember to have fun, and don’t eat too much candy. You’ll get a tummy ache. And don’t stay out too late. There’s all sorts of spooky things out on Halloween night, you know.
Alright, you go on and get yourself that costume. And have a happy Halloween! It’s the time of the year when people dress up just for kicks, so don’t be shy and go get your own basketball player costume for Halloween!
Oh, and one more thing. If you see a ghost, you tell it I said hello.
