Halloween is an especially important time for NBA teams as it generally coincides with the beginning of the regular season, and the Mavericks are showing they are all in on both.

Halloween is an especially important time for NBA teams as it generally coincides with the beginning of the regular season, and the Dallas Mavericks are showing they are all in on both.

Coach Rick Carlisle and star Dirk Nowitzki both showed off some impressive costumes, although Nowitzki’s looked like it involved a bit more effort than Carlisle’s.

Carlisle does indeed look a lot like Jim Carrey so you cannot blame him for going with the “less is more” option, but the Nowitzki/Lurch pairing is too perfect so we have to hand this Halloween showdown to Dirk.
