Paul Pierce’s Halloween Costume Was…Something (Photos)

We already brought you the story of an NFL player briefly dressing up in the eyewear of one of the game’s greats, and now, we discover another athlete dressing up – though this one was just for Halloween.

The athlete in question: Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics. The costume: a frog. As in, half of The Princess and the Frog, according to Pierce’s Twitter.

But enough of the particulars…you’re here to see Paul Pierce in a crazy costume. And via his Twitter, he delivered and then some.

It’s a good thing he made it pretty obvious what he’s supposed to be in his tweets, because without that guidance, we wouldn’t be 100% sure what he was. The hands and feet look vaguely amphibian, but beyond that…he could be some kind of creepy giant bug, or, well, a lot of different things. And he can spring into action from that crouch:

The miles-apart buggish eyes are intact, but at least the crown (it’s a crown, right?) looks a little more crown-like in this one. Finally, he classed (and as he noted, Celtic’ed) it up a bit:

Yes, he’s a frog – some might even say (with justification) that he’s a terrifying frog – but let it never be said that he is not a formal frog.
