• D'Angelo Russell impersonates Kobe (plus other NBA rookies impersonating stars)

  • By Patrick Dorsey | August 10, 2015 8:58:05 PM PDT

Brandon Armstrong isn't the only basketball player with impressive impression skills.

OK, so these NBA rookies might not impersonate quite at a B.A. level. But in this video for SB Nation, the likes of Willie Cauley-Stein, Frank Kaminsky, Jahlil Okafor and more try their hand at mimicking LeBron James, James Harden, Allen Iverson and others ... with Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell doing a surprisingly honest Kobe Bryant, as well.

Not bad! Although Kobe might take issue with that pivot foot, rook.

Personal other favorites: Kelly Oubre's swag-filled Nick Young, R.J. Hunter crawling across the floor as Matthew Dellavedova, Russell's herky-jerky Harden and Trey Lyles asking former Kentucky teammate Cauley-Stein, "Do you watch basketball?"
