Sports stars - they're just like us! Except they're famous, ridiculously good-looking and super rich.

But Halloween - which was yesterday - is the one day of the year when these multi-millionaires get to become someone else and take a break from all that exhausting fame, athleticism and money.

So without further ado, here are some of the best Halloween costumes from the world of sports this year.

Tom Brady as dad-clown

Tom Brady feels like the type of guy who gives out apples or celery sticks to trick-or-treaters.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins as an Avatar person

There's a fine line between try-hard and cool. This one is borderline, but Hopkins' Instagram caption - "Avatar my lifestyle" - is funny and self-aware enough to edge it towards cool.

Lonzo Ball as Batman

Can Lonzo Ball be the Batman to LeBron James' Superman at the Lakers this year?

Throwback Thursday: Russell Westbrook as Steven Adams

Remember when - criminally self-serious and unfun - Russell Westbrook dressed up as his teammate and Kiwi basketball star Steven Adams? Halloween truly is a magical day.
