NBA's Mike Scott I Said The Drugs Were Mine But I'm Not Guilty
Atlanta Hawks player Mike Scott pled not guilty to all charges stemming from his July 2015 drug arrest ... even though he previously admitted the drugs belonged to him.
As TMZ Sports reported, the 27-year-old forward was arrested last summer in Georgia after he and his brother allegedly led cops on a high-speed chase. When police searched their car, they found 10 grams of MDMA and more than an ounce of weed.
In a recorded interrogation with cops, Scott tried to take a bullet for his brother and said all the drugs were his. He was charged with two felonies -- possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. His brother was also hit with a bunch of charges.
According to a rep for the Banks County Court, Scott's lawyer pled not guilty on his behalf to both counts on Monday.
If convicted on all charges, Scott faces up to 25 years in prison.

Shady told us he's interested in getting his hands right, and loves the cardio, but as far as pulling a Herschel and hopping into the ring professionally?
HELL NO.

Matt Barnes wants the youth of America to know it's more important than ever to avoid getting in any kind of legal trouble, because it could cost you your life ... if you're a black kid.

Barnes didn't indict everyone in law enforcement, but added ... "a couple bad cops can ruin it for everybody."
Check out his perspective -- powerful stuff.

Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk Wimbledon Tears Due to Pollen ... NOT a Fight
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk didn't have a heated argument that drove her to tears ... she just needed some Claritin ... according to people who know them, anyway.
The longtime couple made headlines at Wimbledon when TV cameras caught them having what appeared to be a lovers' spat. Irina was wiping away a tear, and Bradley seemed pissed.
Bradley Cooper done f***ed up @Deadspin pic.twitter.com/rFawbq62l6
@LentzManCometh
But sources close to the couple tell us the supermodel was simply battling allergies. As for Bradley's apparent side-eye? We're told he was actually talking to retired tennis star Stefan Edberg, who was sitting next to Irina. TV cameras didn't show Edberg, which made it seem like Bradley was peeved at Irina.
Look, who knows -- it was a very brief shot, anyway -- but for what it's worth ... the couple definitely looked happier later in the match.

Brent Grimes' Wife Anti-Semitic Rant Against Dolphins Owner
The wife of Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Brent Grimes ripped into the Dolphins for cutting him and got a little anti-Semitic while she was at it.
Miko Grimes -- who was arrested last year for headbutting a cop at a Dolphins game -- started bashing Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and GM Mike Tannenbaum ... who she clearly blames for Brent's demise in Miami.
She tweeted, "Gotta respect ross for keeping his jew buddies employed but did he not see how tannenbaum put the jets in the dumpster w/that sanchez deal?"
The backlash was immediate, although Miko insisted she wasn't being racist and said ... "Why would i want to offend "jewish" ppl?"
That's exactly what she did though. FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer -- who's done MMA training with Brent -- jumped in the fray, pleading with Miko to "please SHUT THE F*** UP! Sincerely, the Jew buddy of ur husbands."
Miko's reply? "Suck my d***!"

Ciara Baby Future Calls Russell Wilson ... 'Papa'?!!
Future's worst nightmare just became REALLY real -- his son, baby Future, is calling Russell Wilson ... "Papa," and it seems like a regular thing.
Ciara and Russell posted a video on Facebook Live as Russ seemed to be prepping for a TV appearance -- and baby Future was brought in the room to give a "mama kiss." No biggie.
But then he follows up by saying, "Papa kiss" ... and plants one on Russell. You can also hear the assistant who's holding him say, "Papa Russ?" It's possible the kid was trying to say that and failed. Y'know how 2-year-olds can be.
The social media factor would also add insult to injury ... if you're Future, anyway. Plus, things are already strained -- to say the least -- between Ciara and her baby daddy.
So, we gotta ask ...
