WNBA Halloween Memories
Some of the WNBA's young stars share their Halloween memories from their not-so-long ago childhood days of trick or treating.
What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?
Ruth Riley: "I can't even remember any of the costumes. I think I was more focused on getting the candy than on what I was wearing."
Kara Lawson: "I just liked being a ghost. Just put a sheet over your head and cut some holes, it was easy. I didn't like getting all dressed up."
Coretta Brown: "I really didn't wear costumes. I just went door to door. Everbody knew who I was because I was tall for my age, so I just went for the candy. I made my own costume."
K.B. Sharp: "I think my football uniform. I always wanted to wear the football uniform and the helmet for some reason."
Nikki Teasley: "I didn't have a favorite. Sometimes I made my own."
LaToya Thomas: "I used to trick or treat, but I never wore a costume."
If you had to dress up this Halloween, what would you be?
Kara Lawson: "I'd probably go with the ghost again. I could just be a basketball player, that would be easy too."
K.B. Sharp: "I would dress up as Freddy Krueger."
Nikki Teasley: "An angel."
What was the candy you always hoped to get?
Ruth Riley: "Probably Snickers."
Kara Lawson: "I liked Twix."
Coretta Brown: "Laughy Taffy or Now and Laters."
K.B. Sharp: "I loved Nerds, especially the red ones."
Nikki Teasley: "Everything. I'd eat it all".
LaToya Thomas: "I just didn't like the peanut candy, that was the only type I didn't like. I was hoping to get Nerds or M&M's."
