"I would legit be scared if I seen that late at night" - NBA fans go wild over Victor Wembanyama's 'No Face' Halloween costume choice

NBA fans went crazy on Victor Wembanyama's Halloween costume ahead of Thursday's San Antonio Spurs vs. Utah Jazz game. Wemby dressed as the famous ghost, "No Face/Kaonashi," from the hit Studio Ghibli 2001 anime movie, "Spirited Away."

Wemby recreated the ghost's body from the film by wrapping a black cloth around himself. The Frenchman wore a mask for the face of "No Face" to complete the look.

Wemby struggled to find his way to the locker room while wearing his costume. After fans saw the outfit, they went wild online, creating a buzz on X (formerly Twitter).

"Good costume but I would legit be scared if I seen that late at night," one fan said.

"This would actually give me nightmares, seeing him," another fan said.

"Spirited Away. Wemby knows ball," a fan complimented Wemby's costume.

Other fans applauded the Spurs center for nailing two Halloweens in a row.

"He’s gone 2 of 2 on the Halloween costume," a fan said.

"A man of culture i see 2/2 on halloween costumes," another fan said.

"He is 2/2 on costumes so far in his career," one fan said as he posted Wemby's costume from last year.

Last year, Wemby dressed as the fictional character "Slender Man." With his height and slim frame, fans cheered his first attempt at an NBA Halloween.

Victor Wembanyama looks to have a bounce-back game tonight

The Spurs lost 105-93 against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday. Victor Wembanyama didn't have the best game. The defensive big man only had six points, eight rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes.

The No. 1 pick of the 2023 NBA Draft had a poor shooting performance and only made one shot out of his five attempts from the field.

The center had an injury scare in the second period after he got tangled up with the Thunder's Ajay Mitchell. Wemby immediately went to the locker room and remained there for a while before returning before the first half was over. However, the Spurs still had difficulty playing against OKC.

Wemby's rival, Chet Holmgren, outperformed him last night. The Thunder big man finished the game with 19 points, five rebounds and two blocks.

Wemby will face the Jazz's starting center, Walker Kessler, on Thursday. Unlike Holmgren, Kessler isn't an offensive threat, but his defense could make things difficult for the Spurs player.
