Russell Westbrook And His Thunder Teammate Nick Collison Recreated 'White Men Can't Jump' For Halloween And People Loved It

And the NBA MVP's wife Nina got into it as well.

Halloween came early for Russell Westbrook and his Oklahoma City Thunder teammates this year.

While the Thunder regularly go all out for Halloween, what the reigning NBA MVP pulled off this year during the team's annual celebration Saturday night will be hard to beat.

That's because Westbrook and Thunder power forward Nick Collison recreated the classic movie White Men Can't Jump as their early Halloween costume. 

As evidenced by Russ's Instagram account, they nailed it! And perhaps the greatest indication of just that is a pretty cool co-sign from Wesley Snipes, who of course portrayed Sidney Deane, co-starring in the 1992 movie with Woody Harrelson.

Here's Snipes' reaction and what fans had to say about Westbrook and Collison's Halloween take on White Men Can't Jump.
