[Saba Sports News] NBA players have been making headlines with their Halloween costumes this week, sharing their creative outfits at games and parties. Paul George joined in with a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ themed costume, but fans quickly realized it could lead to social media ridicule if he performs poorly in the playoffs.
As soon as George’s costume appeared on social media, fans saw it as the perfect ammunition to criticize him and the Clippers if they have another disappointing season. The increasing number of bookmarks on the post indicated that fans were saving it to use whenever George had a bad game, especially during the playoffs.
Many fans questioned why the post’s bookmark count was rising so rapidly, knowing the consequences. Some even challenged George to have a poor game now that he had shared the costume.
A group of fans eagerly anticipates using George’s Waldo image when the Clippers are eliminated from the playoffs, and others believe George has set himself up for significant criticism if he has a bad game.
For those who may not get the joke, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ is a game/book where you search for a character named Waldo in a busy scene. George dressing as Waldo is sure to lead to countless photoshopped variations of the image, especially after a tough game.
It seems we’ll be seeing plenty of ‘Where’s PG?’ posts this season, with George’s Waldo costume at the center. Hopefully, the social media trolling won’t start too early.
