By Adam Gretz | Last updated 10/31/23

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama arrived to his team's game on Tuesday night in Phoenix in one of the best and most perfect Halloween costumes in the league.

The 7-foot-4 inch rookie showed up as Slender Man, donning a white body suit underneath a tuxedo.

Have a look.

If you are not familiar, Slender Man is a fictional supernatural character that started as an internet meme in the 2000s. He is depicted as an unnaturally tall and slender character who wears a black suit with a blank face that can lengthen and shorten his arms at will.

That is probably how NBA players feel going against Wembanyama and his overall frame.

Wembanyama absolutely nailed the costume and the look.

Wembanyama was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and is one of the most hyped prospects to enter the league since LeBron James. He possesses a nearly unmatched combination of length, athleticism, speed and shooting ability.

He figures to be the Spurs' next great franchise cornerstone.
He entered play on Tuesday averaging 15.7 points per game this season and is the leading candidate for the league's rookie of the year.
