First it was DeMar DeRozan imitating Dr. J.

Now, Oklahoma City Thunder Kyle Singler is joining in on the NBA legend-mimicking fun.

The 6-foot-8 small forward might not have the height factor Los Angeles Lakers icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had in his playing days, but that didn't stop him from executing a picture-perfect skyhook over Troy Daniels of the Charlotte Hornets in the fourth quarter Wednesday.

Singler ended with 11 points in the win, putting him only 36,315 behind Abdul-Jabbar for first on the all-time scoring list. Baby steps.
