This year it wasn't just the first-year players -- the second-years had to join in as well. You would have thought they would have gone easy on Luis Scola... after all, he's a 28-year old International veteran who had to sing the national anthem at last year's open practice as a rookie.

Not so.

In a dance-off competition, Luis Scola busted out some latin dance moves, which was a huge hit with the faithful. Joey Dorsey wanted it, but the trophy was Scola's.

After the Rockets 85-78 preseason home win against the Spurs Thursday night, Scola was asked about the smooth moves that fueled his victory.

"I just want to forget about that," said Scola with a laugh. "I just cleaned it out of my mind. It never happened to me."

So is the trophy up on his mantel?

"I think I gave it to somebody. It's not one of my favorites," quipped Scola.
