Here's somebody MORE happy than Kevin Durant's mom about the Warriors' NBA championship ... Big Boi, who says he won $100k betting on the Dubs.

We got the Outkast rap legend out at Bootsy Bellows in L.A. Tuesday night (sans Andre 3000, never see those guys together anymore) and wanted to know why he was rocking a Golden State lid.

FYI -- Big Boi is from Atlanta ... which is not anywhere near Oakland.

That's when Sir Lucious Left Foot broke it down for us ... saying he won big on the Finals ... like six figures big ... telling our guy the Warriors victory made him $100k!!

Dennis Rodman stuck to what he knows, at least to start to his North Korea trip ... visiting with a hoops squad -- but he also connected with Kim Jong-un's roots.

The NBA hall of famer checked in with the Pothonggang women's basketball team Wednesday during their practice. We're guessing he emphasized rebounding.

Dennis also toured the town of Mangyongdae, the birthplace of Jong-un's grandfather ... Kim Il Sung. The 6'7" former basketball star quickly became the center of attention as a group of school kids also walked around the town.

He's reportedly meeting with N. Korea's sports minister this week, and also has bowling on the agenda ... for some reason. Still unclear if he'll get a sit-down with Jong-un.

The kickboxer who knocked his opponent OUT COLD while the guy's back was turned says he's been getting death threats over the brutal hit ... but he's adamant it was a fair shot.

We spoke with Murthel Groenhart about the backlash he's gotten following his Glory 42 beat down on Harut Grigorian ... and the Predator says some people are so pissed, they've threatened to kill him.

YOU'RE KILLIN' ME JUDGE!!!

Actually, NY Yankees star Aaron Judge is murdering sales records for a shirt company -- after he rocked a 'Sandlot' inspired button-up ... and they started flying off the shelves.

After the Yanks beat the Orioles on Saturday, Judge sported "The Great Hambino" shirt to address the media in the locker room ... and people went crazy for his outfit.

In fact, we spoke with the owner of the clothing company, RSVLTS, who tells us Sunday was the company's best sales day ever -- they sold more than TWICE as many shirts as usual (and usual is 100s of units).

Long story short ... Judge is just as hot in the fashion world as he is at the plate.

Secrets all the way out ... Caroline Wozniacki and San Antonio Spurs player David Lee are now fully public with their relationship and here's the pics of them kissing to prove it.

The two are chillin' out in Italy -- and flaunted their impressive physiques at the pool ... where they also got all kissy with each other in the middle of the water.

Wozniacki has hinted at dating the Spurs star for months -- but now it's out in the open. She even referred to him as "my love."

Yeah, droppin' L-bombs. Serious stuff.

Anyway, enjoy the pics ... they're hot.

Here's awesome video of rap legend Too Short leading the Golden State Warriors championship party in Oakland Monday night ... with Draymond Green playing the role of hype man.

Draymond jumped onto his table at Harlot nightclub -- while teammate Ian Clark danced in his own VIP booth.

Too Short was awesome -- saying the Warriors didn't just beat the Cavs, they also beat the refs!

Green then grabbed champagne and sprayed the crowd -- and everyone loved it!

Reminds us of two years ago when Draymond was life of the victory parade. Can't wait to see what happens on Thursday!

By the way, Draymond was already back in the gym Tuesday ... with the NBA trophy.

Camille Jones -- who raised 3 superstar athletes including Jon Jones -- passed away Sunday after a battle with diabetes, her family confirms.

Camille's son, Arthur Jones -- an NFL lineman -- broke the sad news on social media, saying, "It's hard to [accept] the fact that my mother is not with me anymore."

He added, "She went to be with my sister in heaven. No more pain & suffering."

"Mom, I love you so much!"

Camille is survived by her husband, Arthur, and sons Jon, Arthur III and Chandler Jones ... who's also an NFL star currently playing with the AZ Cardinals.

Kevin Durant just whooped some serious ass on the court (sorry, LeBron), but Kevin Hart thinks the Finals MVP is still getting HIS butt kicked off the court by “The Real MVP” -- his mama!

Everyone saw Wanda Durant getting all motherly with Kevin during the post-game festivities at Oracle Monday night, including KH, who took to his Instagram to congratulate KD and get a couple jabs in.

Kevin's thoughts? Basically that Wanda still lays down the law old school style on her boy -- by actually spanking him -- and Hart can tell this from the way she was all up in his grill after the game.

It's pretty hilarious stuff ... the (much) smaller Kevin did manage to give Durant props for winning his first title ... although he told TMZ Sports he was rooting for LeBron before the series.

Michael Irvin has a message for officials investigating the sexual assault allegations against him ... it's time to close the case and move on ... saying the investigation has gone on for "too long."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the NFL Hall of Famer is being investigated for allegedly drugging and raping a 27-year-old woman at a Florida hotel back in March.

Irvin and his lawyer, Ken Padowitz, addressed the case at a news conference Tuesday ... doubling down on his stance that he did nothing wrong ... and is totally innocent.

"This has been the most difficult thing that my family and I have ever had to endure," Irvin says.

"I've always said that nothing, nothing happened here, I just want to get this process behind me."

Irvin told TMZ Sports last month that the rape kit came back negative, although officials have yet to confirm the test result.

The case is currently being reviewed by the Broward County State Attorney.

Forget what ya heard about the Jets being the NFL's worst team ... Gang Green star Buster Skrine says the squad is gonna shock the world in 2017.

TMZ Sports caught up with Buster in NYC, and asked the veteran CB for his message to the embattled Jets Nation ... “This our year right here!”

It’s a big statement considering the Jets finished dead last in the AFC East last year (5-11), and have unloaded some of their best players like Eric Decker in the off-season.

The Golden State Warriors celebration was marred with violence against cops -- with Oakland PD telling TMZ Sports some of their officers were attacked with rocks and bottles after the game.

A rep for the OPD tells us, "In east Oakland, it was reported 400 to 500 spectators and vehicles participated in sideshow activity on city streets. Officers did report that individuals threw rocks and bottles at them."

"In response, patrol officers implemented strategies where they were able to detain approximately 100 cars. Over 40 citations were issued and over 30 cars were towed."

There's more ... "We did receive sporadic reports throughout the city of celebratory gunfire and fireworks."

At least 1 cop was injured when the officer was rear-ended by a drunk driver.

"The officer was transported to a local hospital and was listed in stable condition. The driver was arrested at the scene."

Seattle Seahawks stud Michael Bennett says there's NO ban on Future's music in the Seattle Seahawks locker room ... despite that tricky situation with Russell Wilson.

Bennett appeared on "The Breakfast Club" with Charlamagne tha God -- and was asked if the team is required to keep Future off their playlists to appease the star QB, who's married to Ciara, Future's baby mama.

Obviously, Wilson and Future have beefed in the past -- though things appear to be cool right now.

Bennett says he doesn't play Future to get at Russ -- he just likes the guy's music ... and says Wilson understands the guy is too popular to silence him.

Instead, Bennett says Wilson handles the situation like a pro.

Beast Mode was in the building when the Golden State Warriors beat up on the Cavs on Monday -- celebrating with some of the biggest rappers on the planet.

Diddy, Snoop and E-40 turned up with the Oakland Raiders running back in the bowels of Oracle Arena.

Marshawn Lynch is a HUUUUGE fan of all things Oakland/Bay Area -- and you know he wasn't gonna miss Game 5.

Guessing he's already got his spot reserved on the float for the victory parade.

Cristiano Ronaldo -- the most famous athlete in the world -- has been hit with criminal charges in Spain for allegedly scheming to screw the government out of millions of dollars.

Officials in Spain have filed a complaint against the Real Madrid star accusing him of stiffing the Spanish tax man out of more than $16 million between 2011 and 2014.

In fact, officials say Ronaldo set up shell companies (based in the British Virgin Islands) as a "screen" to keep the money from Spain's Tax Office.

If convicted on all charges, Ronaldo could get a 5 year prison term -- though it's unlikely he'll serve a single minute behind bars as a first time non-violent offender.

The fans went absolutely CRAZY in downtown Oakland Monday night ... dancing in the streets and climbing light poles to celebrate the Warriors' huge win over the Cavs!!

Dub Nation flocked the streets shortly after Kevin Durant and Steph Curry finished off the Cavs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals ... and they're clearly excited the Larry O'Brien trophy is back in the Bay Area.

One passionate fan even decided to climb up on a street sign and get his groove on while a group of fans rocked out to "Before I Let Go" by Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Doesn't look like this party is stopping anytime soon.

LeBron James' hoops legacy is like your grandmother's old silver ... TARNISHED ... that's according to The Game who said this latest Finals loss puts MJ and Kobe ahead of LBJ FOREVER.

We got Chuck Taylor out at The Parlor in L.A. right after the final buzzer and asked the hip-hop superstar what another loss on the big stage means for LeBron.

FYI -- James is now 3-5 all-time in the NBA Finals ... not exactly dominant, but not too shabby either.

Game DOESN'T hold back (when does he?) saying LeBron isn't on the level of The Mamba & his Airness, 'cause he's just done too much losing.
