Thursday's Hot Clicks: Houston Rockets Have the NBA's Best Team, Player and Dancing Usher
Houston can't stop dancing
It's been a great season for the Houston Rockets. Not only do they the NBA's best record right now (63-15) and best player (James Harden), but they also have the best dancing usher. Sure, he’s probably planted by the team but I don't care. This was tremendous. Maybe he can give Harden a few dance lessons.
Some personal news
This is my last week at Sports Illustrated, and tomorrow will be my final Hot Clicks. Since you asked, Hot Clicks is in its 11th year right now. Jimmy Traina launched it in April 2007, and I took over in April '13. There just aren't a lot of columns on the internet that have been around that long, and I'm proud of that. Dan Gartland, who has filled in a bunch of times over the years, will be taking over from here. He's great. As for me, I found a great opportunity outside of sports media and decided to try something new. I've been at SI for 13 years so it's a weird, sentimental time right now. I can't thank you enough for your support and for reading every day.

No man over 50 should ever have a ponytail, but this is still sad.

Who says golfers aren't tough?
Tony Finau had a strange day at Augusta. He converted a hole-in-one during the Par-3 Contest, then dislocated his ankle during the subsequent celebration. But the story has a happy ending: He popped it right back into place and kept playing. Take that, Bill Gramatica.
