Terrell Owens Still Hoopin' ... Shows Off A 3 & Some D
Terrell Owens might be 43 but it's hard to tell from his hoops game ... 'cause judging by this video TMZ Sports got of him ballin' in L.A., the guy still has it.
T.O. was balling up at the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, and showed flashes of the athleticism that's gonna make him an NFL Hall Of Famer one day (seriously guys, put the man in).
Peep the clip ... T.O. calmly drains a three off a sick assist from the guard ... then darts up the court and straight Mutombos a shot from a guy who obviously hasn't read his scouting report.
He's still moving pretty good ... just sayin', NFL GM's.

DECEMBER 2016
Ex-NFL star Jamal Anderson walked into a gas station convenience store and whipped out his penis in front of the clerk ... according to police in Georgia.

The clerk reported a black male had walked into the store early Wednesday morning, slurred something and started handing over money. He started walking around the store. A short while later he walked up to the clerk and took out his penis and started masturbating.
That's when the clerk speed dialed police.
Officers arrived and spoke to the former Falcons great ... who they say appeared intoxicated, and told them he'd been dropped off by friends. The clerk did not want to press charges, so cops tell us they merely issued a ticket for criminal trespass.

Gilbert Arenas Wins Big in Child Support Battle ... Baby Mama Gets Dunked On
Gilbert Arenas got a huge assist from the judge in his child support case ... his monthly payments to his ex were just slashed big time.
Sources close to the former couple tell us ... Gilbert's child support checks to his baby mama, Laura Govan, will now be under $10k a month ... a huge drop from around the $40k he claimed he was paying. Arenas has recently said he's not as rich as everyone thinks ... and apparently there's some truth to that.
Gilbert admittedly has no chill, though ... so he took the opportunity to gloat about his big win in court and troll Laura at the same time.
Sources close to Govan tell us she has no idea why Arenas continues to insult and torment her -- since she's not doing it to him -- but all she wants now is for him to leave her alone.
Good luck with that.
