NBA players have donned some infamous costumes on Halloween throughout the years. Many players make an effort to dress up, and some of them are very extraordinary. And sometimes, a few outfits receive trolling from admirers. While Toronto Raptors star Pascal Siakam thrives on the court, he has also been having a lot of fun and chose to dress up like 50 Cent for Halloween! And one of them was a former NBA champion who wanted to pay respect to 50 Cent, but it received a lot of backlash from fans.
Pascal Siakam’s costume garnered a lot of comments from NBA fans since Halloween simply seems to be something that everyone, regardless of age, always looks forward to. Siakam chose to dress as 50 Cent to pay homage to the renowned musician.

Fans felt that given the lack of likeness, he should have chosen to dress as Tony Yayo or Andre 3000 rather than 50 Cent. There’s always next year, so perhaps Siakam will appear as one of them then.
He’s not the only NBA player who’s fully into the holiday; Grant Williams donned a batman outfit for the postgame press conference following their victory over the Wizards.
With the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA draft, Pascal was chosen by the Toronto Raptors. Siakam became the first player to earn the league’s Most Improved Player Award and the NBA Championship in the same season when the Raptors won the NBA Championship in 2019 with his assistance. As a starter in the 2019–20 NBA season, he received his first selection to the All-NBA Second Team as well as his first all-league honor.
