Cleveland Cavs forward Dahntay Jones added a ring in June ... but lost 400 kicks in July ... 'cause more than 200 pairs from his prized shoe collection were just auctioned off ... and he's PISSED.

Jones kept 208 pairs of rare Nikes in a storage facility in Atlanta for years ... but not just any old kicks, some of the shoes were ultra-rare ... including sample kicks made especially for Fat Joe.

But the facility claims Jones didn't keep up on the payments, so last week, they auctioned of the contents ("Storage Wars" style) ... and the winning bid was around $4,000.

We spoke with Jones who admits he was late on his payments -- but says it was a simple mix-up that could have been easily corrected without having to unload his sneakers.

Jones says his credit card stopped making payments to the facility due to a possible fraud alert (it happens sometimes) ... but says he contacted the facility and told them he would come up with the cash (he's reportedly made $18 mil in the NBA).

Jones says the facility went ahead with the sale anyway ... and now, he's out 1/4 of his beloved shoe collection. He's considering legal action.

By the way, Jones says the outstanding bill was LESS THAN $400.

As for his ex-kicks ... the new owner says he plans to sell them on eBay .. and we're told they'll probably fetch a hefty return.

12:20 PM PT -- LVMPD says Roger has been located by family members ... he's safe and is currently being monitored. We're told cops are trying to figure out where exactly he went.

As for Floyd ... sources close to Mayweather tell us the boxer was in Toronto on vacation with his kids ... and is on his way back to Vegas to check on his Uncle.

Floyd Mayweather's Uncle, Roger Mayweather -- one of the most famous boxing trainers in the world -- has gone missing ... and family members are concerned, saying he needs his medication as soon as possible.

Roger was also a pretty good boxer ... and battled with some pretty big starts, including Julio César Chávez and Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.

The LVMPD has issued an official missing persons alert ... saying Roger was last seen Saturday afternoon near the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.

He's 5'7" and 160 lbs. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, blue sweatpants, and white shoes.

Cops also believe Roger is suffering from health issues, and needs medication.

Cops say anybody with information should go to police ASAP.

Here's Paulina Gretzky showing off her ass on an inflatable airplane.

Haven't seen anyone make a water landing look this good since Sully!

It's been exactly one year since WWE legend Roddy Piper passed away -- and his good friend Ric Flair says he still misses "Rowdy" like crazy.

"A year ago today I lost one of my best friends and the world lost one of its best men," Flair wrote in a tribute.

"I miss you Roddy. #RIPRoddy."

Roddy died from a blood clot in his lungs in his sleep in his L.A. home. He was 61.

What do you do if you're sick of Clinton AND Trump?? You go for option #3 ... Johnson ... ... so says WWE legend Goldust.

Dustin Rhodes was at LAX when we asked if Trump's long relationship with WWE would sway him to vote for the G.O.P. nom.

That's when Goldy told us he hates BOTH lead candidates ... so, he's backing former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson!

Last time we got Johnson out he was desperate for a celebrity endorsement ... so, here ya go!

There's only one thing crazier than spending $3.5 million on a Bugatti Gran Sport Vitesse ... spending $50k just to get the damn thing serviced ... but that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather just did.

We spoke to Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com who tells us he just serviced Floyd's Bugatti ... and it came out to a little bit more than your annual trip to Pep Boys.

Here's the breakdown ... 4 2015 Bugatti tires $33k ... basic service (oil & fluid changes) $23k ... then to top it off a $3k detailing service where the damn Armor All must be made out of 24k gold.

Final price tag was well over $50k.

Wanna feel even LESS normal? Obi says he's had to start AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE COMPANY to service Floyd's cars because he has to move them around for service so often.

Just ... wow.

Travis Kelce says he's REALLY dating one of the women he met on his reality dating show -- but had to weed out the fame-hungry thots before he could find his special lady.

The KC Chiefs tight end just finished taping "Catching Kelce" -- where 50 chicks from 50 states competed for his love, affection and NFL salary (kidding on the last one, maybe).

The shocking part ... Travis says he found a real-life KEEPER ... and he's still dating her right now (even though the cameras stopped rolling).

It's been 38 years since Leon Spinks upset Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title ... but that didn't stop the former champ from taking one last jab at his old opponent.

Neon Leon, and his brother Michael, attended the Pat Cairo cancer outing in Lido Beach, NY on Tuesday when Leon was asked if he wanted to lay a hit on a cardboard cutout of the GOAT.

"I'm gonna give him a little rest today," he joked before adding, "he's still ugly, too."

Leon went on about his relationship with Ali, saying, "he always talked s***, but we loved him anyway."

Proceeds from the event -- which included a tribute to Ali -- were donated to a local hospital for the terminally ill and for cancer research efforts.

Ex-San Diego Padres star Heath Bell has a real estate deal for you -- buy his 4,100 square foot pad ... and a get a sick party pool ... WITH A WATERSLIDE!

The 3-time MLB All-Star has put his San Diego home on the market -- 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths with a gourmet kitchen, wine closet, the works -- but the coolest part is the party-ready backyard.

It's got a bar, a hot tub, fountains ... and did we mention the waterslide???

Price -- $1,599,000.

Carmelo Anthony is a lot of things -- 9 time NBA All Star, former NBA scoring champ and he won an NCAA title -- but when it comes to belting out Vanessa Carlton, he just isn't a fan.

Melo was caught on video by his US Olympic Basketball teammate DeMar DeRozan looking awfully salty while DD, Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler sang their hearts out.

We're not sure if he was just tired or flat out hates "A Thousand Miles" (if that's possible?) ... but that scowl is one for the ages.

Take it away, Terry ...

Johnny Manziel was back in a familiar spot -- one of his favorite nightclubs -- talking football and his pal Josh Gordon's NFL comeback.

We got Manziel leaving the Nice Guy Friday night in West Hollywood and he was all about Gordon's return this week to the Cleveland Browns. He had some advice for the team, and clearly believes Gordon can return to his Pro Bowl days.

The woman who claims she's pregnant with Julian Edelman's baby is telling friends she's on great terms with the NFL star ... and hopes he's a big part of their daughter's life.

Former Texas A&M and NFL player Antonio Armstrong and his wife were shot by their 16-year-old son -- leaving her dead and Antonio hospitalized ... according to police.

Police say Antonio and Dawn Armstrong were found in their bedroom of their Texas home Friday morning. Their son reportedly called 911 himself to report the shooting, and he's been charged with murder.

Antonio played briefly with the Dolphins in the 90s, and now owns a popular gym in Texas. He's reportedly in critical condition.

TMZ Sports has obtained police video from the moment Glen Rice Jr. was arrested this week -- and cops were so shocked by the amount of cash he had on him, they suspect he robbed somebody.

We broke the story ... the ex-NBA player is accused of beating up another man in a grocery store parking lot and then running from the scene.

When cops tracked Rice down -- they searched his backpack and found $2,700 in cash ... along with 6 cell phones.

In the video, you can hear the cops talking about the money ... saying, "He has got a ton of cash. Tons of cash. I'm wondering if he robbed this dude. Mutual f***ing agreement that went bad."

D'Angelo Russell is BACK ON with his college athlete girlfriend ... the two have reconciled after breaking up earlier this month, TMZ Sports has learned.

The Lakers star had been dating USC volleyball star Niki Withers -- but sources close to the couple tell us they broke things off after a recent trip to Asia because they felt they were growing apart.

But after nearly two weeks ... the two decided to go out for dinner to talk things out and agreed to give it another shot.

And perhaps the most meaningful sign ... they both reposted pictures of each other back to Instagram after scrubbing all traces right after the breakup.

At the end of the day, both Russell and Withers are 20-years-old -- and we're told they want to take things slow and see where things go.

#GoodLuck

UFC fighter Alan Jouban thinks the time is now for Ronda Rousey to return to the Octagon ... saying she dominated the sport like no other female fighter ... and he can't wait for her return.

We got Jouban out in L.A. and asked him what's up with the one-and-done championship runs in the women's bantamweight division since Ronda lost to Holly Holm?

Jouban told our guy the short reigns have less to do with the new fighters ... and more to do with the old one ... saying Rousey was so DOMINANT it made the division look weaker than it really was.

Guy's got a point ... the title has changed hands like three times since Ronda was holding it down ... and now that we know she doesn't have a baby on board ... we're wondering when she'll get another crack at it.
