As we approach the end of October, you will find plenty of friends, families, and TV celebrities wearing Halloween costumes. But it's always great to see sports figures having fun with fans and their inner circle to celebrate the Hallow's Eve holiday with a range of clever, weird, hilarious, and brutally offensive costumes that could either win or tank badly at costume parties.

Last year, Westbrook emulated his teammate Steven Adams for his Halloween costume. This year, Russ is "Joe Dirt" from the 2001 comedy flick of the same title.

As seen in his IG account from that he posted this pic on Friday, Westbrook has a bushy mullet and a sleeve-cut flannel shirt that harkens back to the "Schneider" character from the late 1970s sitcom One Day At A Time.

You can see Russ rocking the gear and on the dance floor to Young M.A.'s "OOOUUU" at a costume party on Friday night here.

But Westbrook's teammate and Thunder lifer Nick Collison gave Russ a run for his money as he dressed up, too. Can you guess who he is?

If you've ran out of guesses, Collison is dressed up as Pablo Escobar. Collison posted both pics on his IG account Friday as well.

That was a hard one to peg, right? Such striking resemblance between the late Colombian cocaine kingpin and the former Kansas Jayhawk.
