New York Knicks guard Raymond Felton was arrested on gun charges Tuesday ... after his estranged wife ordered her attorney to bring the player's gun to an NYPD precinct.

According to NYPD, Ariane Raymondo-Felton's attorney handed over the semi-automatic Belgian-made pistol late Monday night.

The following morning, Ray turned himself in to police for questioning.

It's unclear at this point why Felton's wife of just 19 months brought the gun to cops. She filed for divorce last week.

The NBA player was eventually booked for two felonies -- 2nd and 3rd degree possession of a firearm -- as well as 4th degree possession ... a misdemeanor.

Felton went to the Manhattan precinct to deal with the gun trouble ... right after the Knicks lost another heart breaker to the Dallas Mavericks.

Bad news for Mike Vick ... his friend Bow Wow won't be helping him sell special hair brushes to black people ... after a high-profile business deal fell through, TMZ Sports has learned.

It was just last year that Vick announced plans to release a line of "wave brushes" called WaveMasterz -- brushes that come complete with a mirror on the back so users can ensure they look fresh at all times.

Bow Wow was reportedly involved in the project ... and at one point, his name was on the top of the WaveMasterz website ... but now, the rapper tells us the plans have changed.

"It was supposed to go down," Bow Wow said ... "but all deals don't go down the way you want them to."

Bow Wow says he didn't want to spread himself too thin -- since he's already involved in a clothing line, a vodka line and hosting "106 and Park" on BET.

BW -- who was at Last Kings clothing store in L.A. -- said there are no hard feelings between him and the QB ... explaining, "Michael Vick is still a close friend of mine, I wish him the best."

Hulk Hogan ... you might get KNOCKED THE F OUT ... because the guy who played Deebo in "Friday" wants a piece of you in the ring ... AGAIN.

Of course, wrestle-a-holics know ... before he terrorized Ice Cube, Tiny Lister played Zeus in the 1989 wrestling flick "No Holds Barred" ... where he battled the Hulkster for the first time.

After the movie, the two wrestled in the WWF a couple of times ... with "Zeus" losing every match.

Now, with Hulk gearing up for his "comeback" ... Lister says he wants the first shot -- saying, "We got some unfinished business!!!"

Lister is 55. Hulk 60 -- hopefully, no one breaks a hip.

Miami Heat sharpshooter Roger Mason is a terrible judge of haircuts ... this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.

The man going after Mason is Brandon Daire -- the brother of Roger's baby mama ... and it's clear, they don't like each other.

According to Daire ... back in 2013, Mason asked court officials to keep Brandon away from his kid due to a pattern of bizarre behavior ... including an incident in which Brandon allegedly gave the kid really bad haircut.

Mason told the court ... the kid's hair was "sloppily shaved in some areas and un-shaved in other areas."

Mason claimed the two got into a nasty verbal argument about the 'do ... and Brandon cussed him out in front of the kid.

But now, Brandon is firing back ... saying Roger LIED about the incident and it damaged his reputation, both professionally and personally. Apparently, he stands by his barber skills.

Now, Brandon is demanding at least $10 million from Mason to make things right.

We've reached out to Roger for comment -- so far, no word back.

The band that performed an unusual rock and roll version of the National Anthem at the Nationwide at Daytona race is firing back at haters -- insisting their song was super patriotic ... and not a horrible disgrace.

TMZ Sports spoke with the lead singer of Madison Rising ... who tells us the band has been getting a serious backlash from some NASCAR fans who didn't like their guitar-heavy version ... with some people calling them "disgraceful" and "disrespectful."

But Dave Bray -- who also happens to be a Navy veteran tells us ... "We know NASCAR has some of the most patriotic fans in the country, so I'm obviously disappointed that we didn't make a better impression."

"But the vast majority have come out with goose bumps, tears in their eyes and our version downloaded onto their iPods to listen to every day."

Bray adds, "The mission of Madison Rising is to help restore a sense of pride back into this country, and we are absolutely thrilled it’s having that effect.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. tells TMZ Sports ... he celebrated his big Daytona 500 victory by boozin' with his team 'til around 4AM -- so why isn't he a hungover mess this morning??? Simple. He followed the cardinal drinking rule.

You know how it goes ...

"Beer before liquor, never been sicker.
... Liquor before beer, you're in the clear."

Dale Jr. was out in NYC yesterday and told us he abides by the code -- usually startin' with some Jim Beam before switchin' to suds.

*Warning -- cardinal drinking rule does not always work. Booze with caution*

Former WWE superstar Matt Hardy just played a round of legal "Let's Make a Deal" in Virginia -- stay out of trouble for 2 full years ... and you won't go to jail for beating up your wife.

Hardy and his wife Reby Sky have each pled "No Contest" to assault and battery charges stemming from a violent domestic altercation at a Virginia motel back in January ... in which both Matt and Reby emerged bloody and bruised.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... in exchange for the pair of "no contest" pleas, Hardy and Sky are required to complete an anger management course, pay some court fees and stay out of trouble for 2 years ... and the case will be dismissed.

As for the marriage ... we're told Matt and Reby are still together and plan on staying that way.

Here's Michael Sam at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis today ... clearly excited at his prospects of playing professional football.

Go get 'em, Mike.

1:19 PM PT -- Get this ... Terrell WANTS RACHEL to pay for all of his legal costs and lawyer fees!!!!

The document show ... T.O. checked the box asking the judge to stick Rachel with the bill for his legal fees for the divorce.

FYI -- T.O. once signed a contract reportedly worth up to $49 MILLION.

Terrell Owens says his estranged wife is full of crap ... claiming they weren't happily married for 2 weeks before their relationship fizzled ... IT WAS ONLY 3 DAYS!!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... T.O. officially filed for divorce from Rachel Snider on February 14th (Happy Valentine's Day) ... seeking to end their short and deeply troubled marriage.

In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Terrell acknowledges they were married on January 23rd ... but split up on the 26th.

Owens also claims they have no community property ... which is interesting, since Snider claims he only married her to get a loan on a $2 million home in Sherman Oaks, CA.

Snider insists the two were married for a full 2 weeks before she decided to leave him -- and claims they had a secret 5-year relationship before that. Days after they split, Snider was hospitalized for an apparent suicide attempt.

Interesting note -- T.O. filed the divorce documents "In pro per" ... which means he's acting as his own lawyer.

Which reminds us of an old saying in the legal world - "Any man who represents himself has a fool for a client."

Jadeveon Clowney's INCREDIBLE 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine didn't just impress the football community -- it blew away an Olympic sprinting legend who tells TMZ Sports he's never seen anything like it.

In case you haven't heard, Clowney -- who weighs 266 pounds -- ran a blazing fast 4.47 ... faster than almost ALL of the running backs at the combine.

We spoke to Maurice Green -- the former 100 meter dash record holder -- who tells us plain and simple -- "Jadeveon is a freak athlete."

Green -- who trains a bunch of NFL stars including Richard Sherman and Reggie Bush -- says, "You don't get too many guys with his size and speed. Guys like Jadeveon don't come around that often. If I was a QB in the NFL I'd be worried."

Still, Green says he'd destroy Clowney in a footrace -- "My best 40 time was 3.8."

That's fast.

Two Texas A&M football players were arrested over the weekend -- a blue chip recruit was detained -- after allegedly making a series of incredibly stupid decisions ... involving weed, booze and parking in a handicap space.

Here's what happened, according to cops.

Isaiah Golden (DL), Darian Claiborne (LB) and Devante Noil (WR) were all inside of a silver Infiniti parked in a handicap space at an apartment complex in College Station around midnight.

According to the police report, an officer approached the car ... and smelled weed. He detained all 3 players, along with another man, and proceeded to search the car.

The cop says he found weed along with a bottle of brandy ... which is a problem since all of the men are under 21.

But during the incident, the officer says Claiborne "became very loud ... complaining that this was going to ruin [his] college football career."

FYI -- Claiborne was recently arrested for allegedly hiding weed and pills in an oversized Hershey's kiss ornament.

The officer says he continued to yell and began "interfering with the investigation" -- so he was arrested for a "noise violation."

Golden was eventually arrested for the weed (cops say he was in possession of 1.9 grams).

As for Noil -- considered one of the top wide receiver recruits in the country -- he was let go.

We called A&M for comment -- and a rep essentially said the players who were arrested will be suspended ... telling us, "In accordance to Texas A&M athletics department policy, anytime a student-athlete is arrested he or she is immediately suspended from all athletic activities."

Lamar Odom says there's still hope for his marriage to Khloe Kardashian ... claiming he's not convinced she'll see the divorce through, 2 months after she filed divorce docs.

Odom was doing an interview in Spain -- where he's now playing pro basketball -- and said "only time will tell" if Khloe will finish the job ... though he says he hopes she reconsiders.

We broke the story ... Khloe filed for divorce in December, seeking to end their 4-year marriage after Odom's drug problem spiraled out of control.

"I love my wife. She'll always be my wife, no matter what," Odom says ... "Even if we were divorced, she'd always be my wife."

If steroid-abusing Alex Rodriguez wants to be in Cooperstown, he's gonna have to buy a ticket like everyone else ... 'cause Frank Thomas says the guy will NEVER be enshrined in the MLB Hall of Fame.

The Big Hurt -- who's getting ready to be inducted with the 2014 HOF class -- couldn't have been more clear about A-Rod's chances ... telling TMZ Sports there are only TWO guys from the PED era who deserve to be in the Hall.

As for Thomas, Frank says he's working on his own Hall of Fame speech ... and can't wait to be inducted by his 21-year-old son (who has the greatest nickname ever) ... The Little Hurt.

Check out the clip -- gotta love Frank's honesty.

You've heard the stories about Kobe Bryant and his legendary chopper ... but former Lakers player Devin Ebanks tells TMZ Sports he NEVER saw the Mamba helicopter to practice once!!!!

Ebanks -- who spent 3 seasons with the Lake Show -- was at LAX this weekend when he dropped the bombshell ... telling us the helicopter stories are more urban legend than fact.

Guess this means Kobe was must have had to slum it to practice in one of his pedestrian cars ... like his Ferrari, Bentley or Lamborghini.

Hulk Hogan finally made it official ... he's coming back to the WWE! Fans are stoked, but is this good news for other wrestlers?

Plus, ex-NFL star Darren Sharper goes to court for his rape case -- and can't even put on a tie??!! Shouldn't he be dressing to impress the judge, and potentially ... a jury?

The Governor of Maryland tells TMZ Sports ... he feels a "tremendous amount of disappointment" in Baltimore Ravens superstar Ray Rice after learning about his domestic violence arrest.

Gov. Martin O'Malley -- a huge Ravens fan -- was walking through D.C. this weekend when we asked him for his thoughts on the situation ... and it's clear, Martin is pretty devastated.

"You know what, its ... I dont know that it has anything to do with being a fan or not being a fan," O'Malley said.

"You always feel a tremendous amount of disappointment whenever someone finds themselves in a situation involving this sort of domestic violence ... and the public attention to it only makes that pain magnified."

Watch the video ... O'Malley's disappointment is palpable.
