Scottie Barnes was in a singing mood at Toronto Raptors Halloween party

With the regular season set to tip off on Wednesday, the Toronto Raptors got dressed up for their annual Halloween party over the weekend.

There were some eclectic costumes across the board, but judging by the content shared on players' and their partners' social media pages, it was Raptors star Scottie Barnes who stole the show.

The two-time NBA All-Star wore what appeared to be a colonial-era George Washington costume alongside his girlfriend, Alyssa Rae Holmes, and, unsurprisingly, took the stage to sing karaoke in front of his teammates.

Given Barnes' one-of-a-kind personality, we could picture him belting out something from Hamilton, a musical he's reportedly seen half a dozen times, or keeping it Canadian with Celine Dion. We were close.

The 6-foot-8 forward sang Justin Bieber's 2012 hit "Boyfriend," and danced around the room dressed as a founding father. A short video of the performance was shared to Holmes' Instagram account.

Barnes wasn't the only Raptor confident enough to step up to the mic, though.

The best performance of the night may have gone to 6-foot-11 Raptors rookie Nate Bittle, who dressed up as a very large baby and sang Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles."

A karaoke classic.

There was no indication whether the newest Raptor, Kawhi Leonard, was in attendance. Even though he's known as the "Fun Guy," we have a hard time picturing him as much of a Halloween guy.

The Raptors will be in Los Angeles on Halloween itself, but Toronto fans won't have to miss out on the festivities. The team will host its annual Halloween game on Oct. 28 against the Orlando Magic, with fans encouraged to show up in costume.
