D'Angelo Russell is finally laughing at the cell phone scandal that brought down Nick Young's engagement to Iggy Azalea ... mocking the situation in a new Foot Locker commercial.

It's actually a pretty funny spot ... Ben Simmons asks Russell if he has any advice for him about how to make it in the NBA.

Russell's response is ... well, perfect.

Iggy Azalea has gone country ... as in a country song where a scorned woman throws her ex's junk out the second floor window onto the lawn.

Iggy deposited Nick Young's worldly belongings in her driveway Monday ... this after having flatbedded the '62 Impala she gave him as a gift to parts unknown.

She's put him on blast, saying she can't trust him anymore after the whole cheating thing.

Nick needs a new ladder.

UFC champ Miesha Tate says she NEEDS to avenge her losses to Ronda Rousey -- telling TMZ Sports, "I feel like something would be missing from my career if I didn't fight Ronda again."

Irish eyes are smiling ... 'cause Conor McGregor is taking it all off for ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue.

ESPN just revealed its list of athletes who have signed on to go naked for the magazine's annual spread ... and as usual, it includes athletes of all shapes and sizes.

Among the models ... Von Miller, Greg Louganis, Dwyane Wade and Vince Wilfork.

That's right ... all 325 pounds of VW are coming your way!

Here's a few more stars from the list:

Antonio Brown (NFL), Courtney Conlogue (surfer), Christen Press (soccer), April Ross (beach volleyball), Allysa Seely (paratriathlete), Elena Delle Donne (WNBA), Jake Arrieta (MLB).

Ex-Miami Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested in Arizona Monday after a standoff with SWAT team officers ... officials say.

The Gilbert PD says 30-year-old Bess was initially pulled over around midnight for a routine traffic stop -- but he fled the scene.

Cops say they located Bess driving in his neighborhood ... but he barricaded himself in his car and later ran from his car into his home ... where he continued to barricade himself until cops got a warrant to go in and get him.

Eventually, a team of SWAT officers entered the place and took Bess into custody. He was booked for 3 felonies -- endangerment, felony flight and failure to stop for a police officer ... according to the Arizona Republic.

Bess has a history of bizarre behavior with the law -- he was arrested in 2014 after allegedly attacking a cop with a cup of hot coffee.

Gilbert Arenas is throwing some major salt in Nick Young's wounds -- clowning the guy for getting dumped by Iggy Azalea ... and he ain't pullin' any punches.

We THOUGHT the two were friends -- especially when Gilbert told us he had planned on going to Nick's bachelor party a few months back. But Nick wasn't having it and told him he wasn't invited.

Fast forward to Monday night ... after Gilbert found out Iggy broke up with Nick ... and Agent Zero unloaded on his former Washington Wizards teammate on the Gram.

"@swaggyp1 i guess u wont be invited to YO #bachelorparty either 😂😂😂😂#gotdumped."

"BUT dont worry n***a i got you...#bachleorparty just turned into #TheBreakUpParty at #Samsstripclub we about to be in there with a pocket full of (1's) with no draws on."

He went on to wax poetically about how he hopes Nick engages in unprotected coitus with several ladies ... and then explains why he hates condoms. You can click here for the whole thing.

Iggy Azalea was dead serious about getting Nick Young out of her life -- 'cause the classic car she gave him for Xmas was just towed away from her home.

Iggy gave Nick the 1962 Chevy Impala for Christmas back in 2014 -- much MUCH happier times.

Nick loved the car and drove it to Lakers practice to show it off right after he got it.

But that was before things went sour -- and, with Iggy announcing that she dumped him over the weekend, seems she wasted no time getting his ride out of the house.

If the Yankees want Bryce Harper, the Yankees will GET Bryce Harper ... so says ex-NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani who says he'd LOVE to get the slugger in pinstripes.

Check out the clip -- Harper isn't a free agent for another couple years, but Giuliani thinks the Yanks are definitely gonna be the team to beat when the Bryce sweepstakes begins.

LeBron James is channeling his inner-Birdman ... telling his haters straight up, "Put some respeck on my name!"

Bron just issued a love letter to his critics ... putting 'em all on blast for doubting his ability and insinuating he's a crap stirrer behind the scenes.

"They said u lost a step, wasn't explosive as once was, the best days was in the real view, questioned your drive, your leadership, your commitment, you don't have killer instinct, going back home is the worst mistake in your career, he got the coach fired, players traded, won't work between him and Kyrie, Him and Kev won't work, love your teammates to much, there's no way he can deliver a championship in his hometown, etc etc etc.... But guess what THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS."

Then came the hashtags -- "#StriveForGreatness #ThisOneIsForTheLand #PutSomeRespeckOnMyName Hahahaha!!! Yes sir"

He ain't gonna say it no more.

** WARNING -- VIDEO CONTAINS MATURE LANGUAGE **

"If I was [LeBron James], I would just walk around with my **** out."

Marlon Wayans says LeBron didn't just stick it to the Warriors Sunday night -- he stuck it to all of his critics ... and to make his point, he should walk around town with his junk out.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson says he missed out on kicking ass with Hugh Jackman to kick ass in the cage ... passing up a role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" 'cause he had a fight.

We got Rampage out in L.A. -- gearing up for his fight at Bellator: Dynamite 2 on Friday -- and asked the 'A-Team' star what he thought of fellow fighter Holly Holm turning down a huge movie role to focus on her upcoming UFC fight.

QJ says Holly should definitely think twice about passing on all her silver screen chances, but admits he's had to say no too ... most notably to the 'Wolverine' movie that went on to make $373 million.

Conor McGregor is all about spreading the wealth -- buying his entire family brand new BMW 5 Series whips after he got rich in the UFC ... this according to Conor's dad.

Tony McGregor spoke with The Independent in Ireland ... and explained how the UFC surprised his family with a gaggle of Beamers back in 2015.

"He came home from an American trip last year, and I saw this fleet of cars coming around the corner with him in the lead car, a black BMW 5 Series," Tony said.

"I presumed it was an entourage chauffeuring him home, but he told me to hop in and asked if I liked the car? I said it was lovely and he handed me the keys and said, 'Good, because it's yours.' He bought one for everyone in the family, which was really nice."

Besides his parents, Conor has 2 sisters -- so, maybe he got a 4 car deal?

Of course, Conor LOVES cars -- and has bought himself a bunch of expensive rides ... including a couple of Rolls-Royces.

Tony dropped a whole bunch of Conor gems ... including:

-- He didn't approve of Conor's career at first. "He was able to prove me wrong, which has made me so proud."

-- Conor started boxing at age 12 after playing soccer as a kid.

And the most shocking part ... Tony says Conor was a really quiet kid who stayed out of trouble.

Derek Jeter tried to convince President Obama he's still a pretty young guy ... despite what the sports media may think.

Obama responded by KEEPIN' IT REAL, SON!

It's a pretty great clip ... Obama sat down with the Yankees legend for an interview with "The Players' Tribune" -- and was trying to get some retirement advice from Jeter.

That's when Jeter complained that sports media labels people as "old" when they hit age 30.

Madness in Cleveland.

Huge week for Michael Phelps ... the 30-year-old Olympic legend officially completed his probation from his '14 DUI arrest on Sunday -- meaning he's essentially got a clean slate!
