Thursday's Hot Clicks: Lindsey Pelas; Kevin Durant Scores 20,000 Points, We Celebrate With Photos


Kevin Durant's best SI photos
During the second quarter of last night's game against the Clippers, Kevin Durant became the second-youngest player in NBA history to reach 20,000 points. I never thought Durant would leave Oklahoma City after his amazing MVP speech in 2014, though his decision to join Golden State made more sense after reading this great Lee Jenkins article. Anyhow, SI has been covering Durant since his high school days; here are our best photos of the Warriors All-Star.
Fat trick > Hat trick
Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk is a hero in Carolina, especially among those who like fast food. Faulk's second period goal against Tampa Bay activated all three of the team's food promotions, meaning fans get free food from Moe's, Papa John's and Bojangles. Carolina would go onto lose by a goal, but everyone's a winner when there's a "Fat trick."
Floyd Mayweather discusses #MeToo movement
I can't tell if he's trying to get attention or is just really clueless.
I love Lindsey Pelas. You love Lindsey Pelas. Everyone loves Lindsey Pelas. And seeing that I just got some fresh Lindsey Pelas pics, it only makes sense to make her LLOD (click for full-size gallery).

These are not great
Guys, I have potentially terrible news. Let's hope to everything sacred that this ISN'T a first look at the NBA All-Star 2018 uniform template, but it appears to be at least a possibility π (via hoopcity_dongdaemun on insta, h/t @Alphasialcool) https://t.co/lAvFvv89ZC pic.twitter.com/ibtbXVrC6T

Odds & Ends
The Georgia strength coach with the fun mustache is heading west to Oregon ... You could make a pretty good team out of the players Nick Saban has coached ... Blake Bortles gets no respect from his fellow NFL players ... Worst tattoo ever ... Great response by Olympic skater Adam Rippon on what it's like to be a gay athlete ... Still not sure how Washington failed to get a game-tying shot up last night ... Georgetown basketball is taking a stand against cell phones ... Diet Coke is getting a makeover ... Huma Abedin somehow still wants to stay married to Anthony Weiner. The first line of this story is a doozy ... An astronaut had to apologize for his fake news about space.
