Steph Curry and his wife, Ayesha, claim her father was "profiled" and "almost arrested" by NBA security at Game 6 in Cleveland Thursday night ... in a case of mistaken identity.

Ayesha first went public about the situation after the game -- tweeting, "Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him."

Steph echoed her comments to ESPN on his way out of the stadium -- after the Warriors lost to the Cavs.

But NBA security says it can explain ... telling ESPN Ayesha's father bared a resemblance to a con artist named David Aminzadeh who had been using fake credentials to sneak into major sporting events.

Security spoke with Ayesha's dad -- and eventually determined he was NOT Aminzadeh.

Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler -- and his 27-year-old fiancee -- were both arrested in Memphis Friday morning after allegedly attacking each other ... and cops say a gun was involved.

Johnny Manziel's got more drama heading his way ... the guy he fought in a Vegas nightclub last month has lawyered up and is gearing up for a lawsuit, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the ex-NFL star was booted from Jewel Nightclub at the Aria hotel on May 20th after getting violent with another clubgoer.

Witnesses have said Manziel was pushed while the crowd was going crazy during a surprise performance by Drake -- and, during the madness, Manziel turned and slugged a guy.

There's video showing Manziel locked up with the guy inside the club -- but hard to see if Johnny threw a punch.

We're told the victim claims he was injured during the fracas -- and is planning to sue Manziel to cover his medical costs at the very least.

Manziel's lawyers are definitely staying busy -- he's also being sued for allegedly trashing a home in the Hollywood Hills ... and is in a beef with a luxury car rental company over a wrecked Mercedes.

Multiple players on the Denver Broncos tell us ... they're NOT upset at Von Miller for threatening to sit out the 2016 season ... telling TMZ Sports it's all a part of the business.

UFC superstar Dan Henderson says Michael Bisping can crack all the geriatric jokes he wants -- 'cause when the two face off in the Octagon, Bisping's gonna "end up getting his ass beat by an old man."

45-year-old Dan joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show -- and responded to Bisping's trash talk .. specifically when he said he wants to fight Dan before he dies of old age.

It's pretty good stuff ... Dan vows to whoop that ass -- AGAIN -- and says he'll retire right after he does.

He also gives us an update on the contract situation for the fight.

Check out the whole interview tonight on "TMZ Sports" on FS1.

Deion Sanders is adamant his teenage son, Shilo, did NOT beat the crap out of a high school staffer back in 2015 and says he believes security video will exonerate him.

Apparently, she's human after all ... 'cause UFC superstar Cris "Cyborg" Justino says she's in all sorts of pain after being bit by a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER!!

Cyborg says she was working in her garden last week when the spider appeared and sunk its fangs into the fighter's leg -- causing a nasty wound.

"My leg is in a lot of pain," Cyborg says.

Cyborg says she went to the doctor and got antibiotics and cream for the bite wound.

FYI, the black widow is one of the most venomous spiders in North America.

Yeesh.

Ex-NBA star Kermit Washington claims he's NOT the charity scheming scumbag officials say he is ... pleading NOT GUILTY to charges he stole thousands of dollars from a organization that was supposed to help needy families in Africa.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the former All-Star was arrested in May after officials say he used close to $500,000 from the Project Contact Africa foundation to bankrole his lavish lifestyle ... using the cash for things like vacations, rent and jewelry.

Today, Kermit's attorney appeared in a Kansas City court on his behalf and pled not guilty to all of the charges -- corrupt interference with tax laws, conspiring to commit wire fraud, falsification of records and aggravated identity theft.

Michael Jordan's lawyers can stand down ... 'cause ScHoolboy Q says he's NOT using the famous Crying Jordan meme as the cover art for his new album.

FYI, Jordan is fiercely protective of his image -- so, when Q dropped the album art on Twitter Wednesday -- everyone wanted to know if he somehow managed to get MJ's blessing.

Gabrielle Union CAN BALL, SON!!!

Check out this footage of Dwyane Wade's wife killin' it on the court -- showing off a pretty impressive crossover ... a nice jumpshot ... and some STRENGTH on the bench press.

She's been with Wade for roughly 7 years now (married for 2) ... clearly, she's picked up some tips along the way.

Kim Kardashian is adamant her father did NOT use a Louis Vuitton bag to smuggle a murder weapon or bloody clothes out of O.J. Simpson's home ... claiming she personally inspected it with her own eyes.

The coach of the German national soccer team is apologizing for scratching his crotch and butt during a game AND IMMEDIATELY SNIFFING HIS FINGERS!!

The video went viral during the Germany vs. Ukraine match earlier this week ... when Joachim Löw was caught on camera digging down below and then taking a big whiff of the scent.

Now, Joachim is apologizing ... telling the media, "I saw the pictures as well and obviously sometimes you do things subconsciously. It happened and I am sorry."

"It was adrenaline and concentration. I will try to behave differently in the future."

Gross.

Von Miller is apparently threatening to sit out the 2016 season if he can't get a new deal done with the Denver Broncos.

Miller just posted on Instagram -- "'I love my Teammates, Coaches, and My Fans' but there is 'No Chance' I play the 2016 season under the Franchise tag."

The Broncos used the franchise tag on Miller back in March -- which means he'd make the average of the top-salaries of his position for the year ... which is roughly $14 mil.

But Von wants more ... WAY MORE ... recently shutting down a 6-year $114 million deal with $40 mil guaranteed.

And if he doesn't get it ... Von says straight up -- he ain't playin'.

It's a much different stance than he took during an interview that surfaced Wednesday with Chelsea Handler -- in which he stated he would NOT sit out the season.

He's only been a coach for a few days, but Stedman Bailey is already making an impact on the Rams' rookie WRs.

Bailey -- who suffered 2 gunshots to the head in a drive-by shooting back in Nov. -- was waived by the team as a player earlier this month ... but will stay in the organization to work with the coaching staff.

The good news ... the players really like him.

We spoke with Rams' wide receivers Nelson Spruce and Pharoh Cooper -- who praised Bailey as a "student of the game" who's really been helping them out on and off the field.

BTW, a bunch of Rams players -- including rookie QB Jared Goff -- were all at Woodworth Elementary Wednesday to help build a brand new playground, funded by the Rams.

The players weren't just standing around -- they were actually getting their hands dirty and doing real work.

Another bad ass notch on Adrianne Haslet's belt ... 'cause the woman who lost her leg in the Boston Marathon bombing -- is now BOXING with George Foreman's son!

Haslet was training with George Foreman III earlier this week at his EverybodyFights boxing gym in Boston.

FYI, GF3 was a pretty good boxer himself -- racking up a 16-0 record as a pro.

It's another impressive feat for Haslet -- who already completed the 2016 Boston Marathon on a prosthetic leg ... and picked up ballroom dancing again after the incident.

Minnesota Vikings WR Laquon Treadwell learned the hard way ... DO NOT let your teammates know it's your birthday when you're a rookie ... or get 60,000 packs of fruit snacks in your SUV.

Treadwell -- a 1st round draft pick this year -- turned 21 this week. LT's teammates gave him a lot of very small, fruity birthday gifts ... and they even loaded them into his SUV.

FYI -- that's around $10,000 worth of fruit snacks.

The good news ... it coulda been A LOT worse -- just ask ex-NBA star Kenyon Martin.

Back in 2010, someone pulled an April Fools prank on Martin -- filling up his Range Rover with BUTTERED POPCORN ... and dude was pissed!!!

We got the audio -- in which you can hear Martin threatening to bring the wrath to whoever pulled the prank 'cause the butter ruined his expensive interior ... angry, angry stuff.

So yeah ... Treadwell got off easy!
