Remember the NBA dress code? We don't. Neither does Rick James.

That's Paul Pierce as Rick James. The 39-year-old ten-time All-Star and former NBA Finals MVP is currently nursing a sprained ankle that has kept him out of the lineup through three games this season. Rather than sit on the bench in traditional inactive garb -- a suit and tie -- Pierce went with a Halloween costume. The ankle-supporting disco boots may be the best part.
Obviously, this is a great time to bring this Dave Chappelle clip back (NSFW):
The Clippers are holding their own without Pierce. The team is 3-0, beating the Suns, 116-98, Monday night.
