“Almost Threw My Phone Away”: Ex-NBA Champion’s Halloween Tribute to 50 Cent Draws Flak From Fans

Over the years, NBA players have worn some legendary outfits for Halloween. Several players try to wear the best costume possible and some of them are out of this world. And sometimes a few costumes get trolled by fans. And a former NBA champ who tried to pay tribute to 50 Cent was one of them as it drew major flak from fans.

Toronto Raptors Pascal Siakam has had a really good start to the season. He is averaging over 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. And the Raptors have a 3-3 record so far. Siakam may have had a good start to the season, but his latest efforts on Halloween have seemingly failed to impress fans.

Siakam decided to dress up as 50 Cent to pay tribute to the legendary rapper.
