Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson celebrated Halloween in their iconic costumes.
Smith's costume was very unique and resembled a character from the movie The Magic Duck. Johnson wore a suit that looked nothing like his usual outfit, but he actually dressed up like Vito Corleone from the movie The Godfather.
O'Neal's costume was very fitting, as he dressed up as Jimmy Butler, which seemed very sentimental for media day this season.
Barkley's costume was also unusual, as he dressed as a bus driver, which is what he wore during his many altercations with current Suns star Kevin Durant.
Shaq and Chuck's outfits stood out the most because they both referenced the NBA in different ways.
Shaq supported Chuck's opinion of Durant
Shaquille O'Neal doesn't always agree with others, but he sincerely supports Charles Barkley's criticism of Kevin Durant and his decision to join the Golden State Warriors in 2016.
"Everybody has an opinion," Shaq said." I'm smart, so I like to listen until I flip the emotional switch. Now, I'm not a hater. I understand what Chuck is saying. Let me explain.
""How many times did we lose to Mike before we finally beat him? So, in our day and age, you have to earn respect by competing. Now, what Mr. KD did, as opposed to the old-school way of doing it, they lost to a team, and then he joined the team that beat him, and then he won two championships, and he made it easy.
"Now we can go back and say, me, if I knew I could do that, Dennis Scott, I would have left you after the second year to go play with Mike. But no, I wanted to beat Mike."
Durant joined the Warriors after they were defeated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals and won two championship trophies with them. He was heavily criticized for this move by many, including Shaquille O'Neal.
