PHX Suns coach Earl Watson went to UCLA and is a die-hard Bruins fan ... which is why he LOOOVED watching USC get bounced from the tourney yesterday!!!

Check out the clip ... Watson didn't just tell us the Providence victory was his favorite upset so far ... but he actually SHUT DOWN the interview when our photog admitted he's a Trojan fan.

Pretty funny stuff.

Talk about a leg drop ...

Hulk Hogan just won BIG in his war with Gawker -- with a jury awarding the WWE legend a $115 MILLION judgment against the company for publishing part of his sex tape online.

Hogan had only sued for $100 million ... but the jury decided it wasn't enough and bumped it up to $115 million.

The breakdown -- $55 million for economic injuries and $60 million for emotional distress. He could get even more with punitive damages.

Hogan had argued that he had no idea he was being recorded when he had sex with his friend's wife at their home in Florida back in 2007.

Gawker published 1 minute and 50 seconds of the video without Hulk's permission. Hogan claimed it was the ultimate invasion of his privacy.

He already explained rebounds ... but now Baylor's Taurean Prince is breaking down exactly how Yale outblocked, outscored and out-free throw'd Baylor Thursday ... and it's hilarious!!!

Prince joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and continued the kind of in--depth post-game analysis that made him a viral sensation.

Here's a teaser from tonight's show -- but you gotta watch the whole thing on FS1 at 9 PM PT, 12 AM ET ... the dude is really funny.

One more thing ... on a serious note, we also asked Taurean if he patched things up with teammate Rico Gathers after their on-court dust up, and he assured us it's all water under the bridge ... saying he and Rico are "brothers."

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker has died from injuries sustained from his motorcycle accident Thursday night ... this according to his agent Ron Butler.

Walker was 23.

According to police, Walker was operating a dirt bike in the dark without lights and crashed into a 2014 Ford Escape. He was not wearing a helmet.

Walker was transported to the trauma unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

This is pretty great ...

NY Giants starting running back Rashad Jennings showing he's got a little Elton John in him ... doing a piano rendition of Drakes' "Hotline Bling" in Hawaii ... and absolutely killing it.

Jennings has been vacationing on the islands ... and while checking out the local scene, he made it a point to flex his musical muscle for anyone who was in earshot.

There's been jam sessions that included guitar playing and singing ... but it was when he sat down behind the piano and got all 6 God with it that the G-Man's talent really shined.

Watch ... and enjoy.

Here's Shaq and Verne Troyer proving that size doesn't matter ... when it comes to bromance ... getting all Butch & Sundance at an event in Massachusetts this week.

The two dudes met up at a Boston area Modell's sporting goods store and participated in the joint's grand opening but took the time to take a trip together ... down memory lane.

It's great to see the two men chop it up, but let's face it ... it's just a trip to see them together CAUSE SHAQ LOOKS LIKE A MOUNTAIN COMPARED TO VERNE.

Remember when Richie Incognito smashed his Ferrari with a baseball bat back in 2014???

Well, the Buffalo Bills lineman is finally ready to joke about it.

Incognito posted a pic of his whip and added the caption: "I'd hit it.... 👊🏼 😜#BeenThereDoneThat #FerrariFriday."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Incognito went all smashy smashy on the car back in the day to "vent" in the wake of the Jonathan Martin bullying scandal.

Incognito was admitted into a psychiatric ward to receive help shortly after the incident -- but it seems the treatment worked ... because he's virtually stayed out of any real trouble ever since.

Conor McGregor might get his wish after all ... 'cause the UFC is reportedly finalizing a rematch between the UFC superstar and Nate Diaz ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The fight would go down at UFC 200 in July ... so says MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani who says the UFC is hoping to announce the fight in the very near future.

Over the weekend, McGregor told TMZ Sports he would LOVE another shot at Diaz -- insisting he was winning the fight until Diaz took over in the 2nd round.

"I would love to get that one back," McGregor said.

Stay tuned ...

The NBA has launched an investigation in the Matt Barnes vs. John Henson "chasing" incident -- though we're told there was NO FIGHT ... league sources tell TMZ Sports.

Barnes jogged into the locker room after he and Henson were ejected from Thursday night's Bucks vs. Grizzlies game ... with some reports saying Barnes "chased" after Henson looking to throw down.

But our sources are adamant ... nothing happened after the game, period -- with each player going to his respective locker room and that was it.

Officials investigating the Tray Walker motorcycle crash tell TMZ Sports they are looking into reports that a 2nd NFL player was on the scene at the time of the accident and left before cops arrived.

We spoke with Det. Pinkard who tells us the Miami Dade PD has received info about an unknown New England Patriots player who may know something ... but so far, they don't know if that information holds up.

We're told the crash was so serious, that the traffic homicide unit is leading the investigation. The traffic homicide unit handles all fatal and critical crashes.

As we previously reported, Walker -- a cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens -- was hospitalized Thursday night after his dirt bike collided with a 2014 Ford Escape. The other driver was not injured.

Don't believe everything you see in commercials ... 'cause when Odell Beckham Jr. whips around in Bev Hills, he ain't driving a Buick -- he's in a $300,000 Ferrari.

The NY Giants superstar was doing some shopping on Rodeo Drive Thursday -- and while he wasn't doing much talking, he was definitely flossin' in a big way.

Check out (what appears to be) a Ferrari F12Berlinetta -- which rocks a 6.3-liter V-12 engine and goes from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds. The price tag is reportedly somewhere in the $325k range.

FYI -- OBJ is still in his rookie contract with the Giants and is only expected to make roughly $3 mil this year ... unless he strikes a new deal with the team before the season starts.

Meantime, keep gettin' that Buick money!

So ... best gym session ever??

Sports Illustrated model Jessica White says she had a full orgasm during a recent training session in the gym -- when a squat workout shook her to the core.

White was talking to Bikini.com when she was asked about her training regimen and said:

"I was doing these squats one time, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this is orgasmic,' and maybe I was squeezing and doing my kegels. I don’t know what it was, but I had to go to the bathroom."

How does Serena Williams relax before a big match??? Bikini pool party with an inflatable unicorn!

Here's Serena hanging out at her pool while chillaxin' at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA.

Manny Pacquiao has been banned from the popular L.A. shopping center The Grove -- again -- all because of his "statements of hatred" against gay people ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker is in critical condition after being involved in a serious dirt bike accident Thursday night in Miami.

According to police, Walker was operating a dirt bike in the dark without lights. He was not wearing a helmet. Walker was transported to the trauma unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Coach John Harbaugh released the following statement through the Ravens ... "This is devastating news. Our prayers and hopes are with with Tray and his family tonight."

Walker, 23, attended Texas Southern University before being selected in the 4th round of the 2015 draft.

Story developing ...

Floyd Mayweather IS making beautiful music with the hot 19-year-old girl he's been seen with ... the platonic kind ... managing her music career and NOT dating her, TMZ Sports has learned.

The woman's name is Raemarni Ball ... and since she met Floyd in London last month the two have been seen in Miami and Los Angeles together, prompting some to ask the obvious question:

Is he getting that?

The answer is no ... so say Floyd's reps who tell us the boxer is only interested in Raemarni for the talent in her heart, and not the talent in her jeans ... wanting to manage her career as a singer.

"He's in the middle of deciding whether to make her an individual pop artist or to put a girl group together. She has lots of personality, humble, talented, beautiful inside and out."
