Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Wide receiver Tyler Lockett celebrated a touchdown by mimicking NBA legend Allen Iverson during the Seattle Seahawks' win against the Carolina Panthers.

The end zone party occurred in the third quarter of the 30-27 triumph on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Seattle began the seven-play scoring drive on its own 20-yard-line.

Quarterback Russell Wilson capped off the drive by firing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Lockett in the right side of the end zone.

After getting in for six, Lockett called over teammate David Moore. Lockett did a fake crossover before putting up a fade-away jump shot. Lockett was mirroring the play from Iverson during Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals when his Philadelphia 76ers knocked off the Los Angeles Lakers.

Moore pretended to be Tyronn Lue during the sequence, staying on the ground and letting Lockett step over him in celebration.

Lockett led the Seahawks with 107 yards and a score on five receptions against the Panthers. He is having the best season of his career, with 661 yards and eight scores on 43 receptions in 11 games.
