Wanna live like Steph Curry but don't exactly have the jump shot??

Well, now you can buy his Bay Area mansion ... if you've got around $3.7 MILLION to drop!

DeMarcus Ware is on the hunt to tackle the criminals who burglarized his house during the Broncos' MNF game ... and at least part of the break-in was caught on camera ... TMZ Sports has learned.

After the Broncos whooped Brock Osweiler and the Texans Monday night, D-Ware tweeted that his house was broken into during the game.

A rep for Ware tells TMZ Sports that the Pro-Bowler has surveillance cameras on his property ... and that footage will be handed over to the cops to provide the "best possible investigation."

Ware's rep says no one from D.W.'s family was home at the time of the break-in.

"His material and earned possessions mean nothing in comparison to the safety of him and his family. Multiple and extreme measures have been taken to ensure justice is served."

We reached out to Denver police ... who confirmed there is an active investigation ongoing.

Josh Brown doesn't have a job ... 'cause the NY Giants just announced they've cut the kicker.

In a statement, Giants co-owner John Mara said, “We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Last week, police in Washington state released documents connected to Brown's '15 domestic violence arrest -- including his journal -- where he acknowledged having abused his ex-wife.

The Giants quickly moved Brown from the active roster to the Commissioner's exempt list ... before completely cutting ties Tuesday.

Pay attention you participation trophy-loving, "winning isn't everything"-type parents ... Gary Payton is about to give you a lesson in tough love ... by giving you a SUPER REAL scouting report on his son.

And it's kinda prophetic.

We got Payton out in L.A. Sunday night at Dew NBA 3X ... only hours before his kid, Gary II -- an undrafted rookie -- was released by the Houston Rockets. We wanted to know, are we looking at another Hall of Fame Payton?

What Gary gives us is a huge, whopping, "NOT SO FAST" Lee Corso would be proud of ... saying before his kid even thinks about becoming an NBA player ... he might need some time in the D-League.

Josh Brown is sorry revelations of past domestic abuse have hurt the NY Giants ... but also wants to clarify he NEVER struck his wife.

Brown -- who currently is NOT on the NYG active roster -- released a statement through ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"I am sorry that my past has called into question the character or integrity of The New York Giants, Mr. Mara or any of those who have supported me along the way. I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic."

"It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would. Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors. The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life."

"My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man."

Kobe Bryant has done it ... Caron Butler has done it ... and now the originator of the NBA's "Big Balls" dance thinks it's high time the league let guys do it in peace ... without the huge fine.

We got Sam Cassell out at Mastro's and asked him about the move he made famous ... the imaginary cuffing of huge huevos whenever you hit a big shot.

Sam's been busting the move since back in his Minnesota Timberwolves days ... but now the league has labeled it a no-no ... issuing huge fines to offending players.

Check out the clip ... Sam has a message for the league -- LET THE BALLS GO ... saying fining a guy huge money for a little expression is kinda ... whack.

Great job, Sam ... takes a big pair to make a stand.

More trouble for ex-NFL superstar Greg Hardy -- who allegedly blew off car payments for his Ferrari and his Bentley ... and now he's being sued for more than $200,000!

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports, Hardy leased a white 2013 Bentley GT Speed (reportedly valued around $240k) back in 2014 from Second City Leasing.

A year later, he leased a white 2012 Ferrari California (reportedly valued around $200k) from the same company.

Problem is, Second City Leasing says Hardy stopped paying both leases in June 2016 -- violating the terms of the leases. The company now wants Hardy to pay for the remaining amounts owed for each car.

In total, Second City is demanding $200,736.82 -- plus interest.

Here's proof not everyone is down for the Raiders move to Sin City ... Rich Gannon --the last guy to quarterback the Silver & Black to the Super Bowl -- says the team needs to STAY PUT.

We got Gannon out in NYC and asked the former NFL MVP his thoughts about his old squad potentially moving out of Oakland and into the deserts of Nevada.

Gannon ain't a fan ... saying the team is just starting to come into its own, and the fans up in NorCal deserve the chance to watch a winner for a change.

He's not the only Ex-Raider balking at the move .... Ronnie Lott is putting together a group to try to keep the team in Oakland as well ... but owner Mark Davis seems super determined to relocate.

Hulk Hogan's daughter vs. DDP's daughter? HELL YES!

It's going down for real -- the daughters of a bunch of pro wrestling legends are banding together to start their own league ... and it sounds awesome.

Bobby Lashley wants a piece of Brock Lesnar -- not as a pro wrestler -- he wants a REAL DEAL MMA FIGHT ... and tells TMZ Sports it's a fight he knows he can win.

Lashley got famous as a pro wrestler ... racking up titles in WWE and TNA -- but now he's killing it in MMA, with a 5-0 record in Bellator's heavyweight division.

The 40-year-old brawler says he knows the biggest fight of his life would be against Brock -- and now he wants to make it happen.

Lesnar has hinted that he ain't done fighting yet ... so ... superfight???

Ever wonder what an $111 million NBA contract looks like?

Well, here you go ... courtesy of Gilbert Arenas.

Listen up, all you overweight lovers ... Chris Paul, one of the most fashionable guys in the NBA, is about to give you some game on what you need to rock a turtleneck like a pure euro pimp playa.

Chris was out at Mastro's in Beverly Hills when we noticed his opulent turtleneck sweater ... a sweater that he'd for some reason taken off upon his exit from the establishment.

Since Chris clearly knows ... we had to ask him what's the rule for rocking the turtleneck ... especially for some of our more robust brothers.

Ex-NFL running back Montee Ball has plead guilty to charges stemming from an April incident in which he got boozed up at a Wisconsin bar and then resisted arrest when cops tried to take him into custody.

Remember, Ball was out on bail back in April from his domestic violence case (he attacked an ex-GF in 2014) and one of the terms was to NOT booze or be in a place where they serve booze.

When cops found him at the 841 Brewhouse bar on April 9th -- they tried to take him into custody and he resisted.

Now, we've learned Ball struck a deal with prosecutors in which he plead guilty to 2 counts of "bail jumping" and one count of resisting arrest ... all misdemeanors.

So, what does it mean for Ball? He could face up to 9 months in jail for each count -- sentencing is scheduled for December.

Good news for Terrell Suggs ... prosecutors have dropped the criminal charges against the Baltimore Ravens star stemming from his March car crash -- and all he has to do is go back to school.

We broke the story ... Suggs was arrested in Scottsdale on March 4th after crashing his BMW into a wall and allegedly leaving the scene (which Suggs denied). He was later charged with driving on a suspended license and failure to control speed to avoid a collision.

Now, court officials confirm the suspended license & failure to notify when striking a fixture charges have been dropped.

As for the speeding charge, that will be dismissed if he completes a defensive driving class by February 27th.

Gilbert Arenas says he's NOT REALLY struggling financially -- despite what he said in court docs -- claiming he's still extremely loaded and hiding his fortune from his baby mama.

We broke the story ... Gilbert filed court docs in his family law case saying his $111 million NBA contract pays out on Oct. 31st -- and once that day comes, he won't be able to afford to pay for his kids' expensive private school.

In the docs, Gilbert makes it very clear he'll be living on interest from previous investments -- and not rollin' like a $160 MILLION baller.

But after TMZ Sports posted the story ... Gilbert posted a video of his own -- showing off his kids messing around with thousands of dollars in cash and bragging that he's "hiding" it from his baby mama, Laura Govan.

Gilbert also shows off his kids' safety deposit boxes and says they're "gold digger proof."

He also says if Laura is insistent on sending the kids to school she better start "selling that p**sy."

Bobby Brown the R&B legend has a message for Bobby Brown the NBA player ... LEAVE THE DAMN GREAT WALL OF CHINA ALONE ... saying the Rockets player really disrespected the wall, and the country.

We got R&B Brown out in BH and asked him about his namesake's shenanigans in Asia, where he was eviscerated for defaming the 2,000-year-old wall by writing his name on it in chalk.

The backlash has been SEVERE ... with Chinese officials scolding Brown for his disrespect ... and if he thought he'd get any sympathy from the other Bobby, he's dead wrong.

"That's really disrespectful, stay off that wall, leave that wall alone."

Bobby also told us he's walked the wall himself and loves China ... wanting to make it clear it wasn't him who did the dirt ... it was the other guy.

"Two different Bobby Browns, he shouldn't do it again, I know that."
