Do Hockey players party with zamboni drivers?

Do they fight better with or WITHOUT their skates on?

How do they REALLY feel about Happy Gilmore?

All of these questions answered ... and more ... when a bunch of New York Rangers players went out for sushi in Hollywood last night!!

Derick Brassard, Carl Hagelin, Ryan McDonagh and Brian Boyle hit up Sushi Roku -- and played a speed round of ice-breaker questions with our TMZ Sports photog.

It's pretty fun ... the guys are cool ... and it ALMOST makes us wanna root for the Rangers in the Stanley Cup. Almost.

With their teams both eliminated from the NBA playoffs, former teammates Kevin Durant and James Harden hooked back up in L.A. last night to hit the Hollywood club scene together.
TMZ Sports has footage of the guys -- who played together in Oklahoma City before Harden was traded to Houston -- hitting up Playhouse nightclub with an entourage and a couple of good lookin' females.

The guys got to the club just after midnight ... and left just after 2 AM.

Fun Fact -- Rihanna was at the club at the same time the NBA stars were inside ... but so far, it's unclear if they all hung out.

Gatorade is thirsty ... for a fight -- because last night, the sports drink was talkin' serious SMACK to LeBron James after the NBA star left the game with leg cramps.

Moments after King James was carried off the court like he was dying in San Antonio ... Gatorade went to Twitter and unleashed its inner troll on LeBron, who happens to be a Powerade guy.

Aaron Hernandez has not received a single jailhouse tattoo during his time in the clink, despite reports to the contrary ... officials tell TMZ Sports.

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson tells us ... investigators searched Hernandez's body after reports surfaced that new ink appeared on his hand after he started his stint in Bristol County Jail.

Some reports had suggested that the tats on the back of his right hand that read, "CBS/WBS IWBTG" -- were administered illegally while behind bars.

But Sheriff Hodgson says the hand tattoo -- along with every other tattoo on the former NFL star's body -- was accounted for when Aaron arrived to the jail.

Translation -- he does NOT have a jailhouse tat.

In fact, we found photos from the day Hernandez was arrested last year ... and you can clearly see the markings on his right hand.

Bob Arum -- one of the most legendary fight promoters of all time -- has hammered out deals with fighters of all races and nationalities ... but says there's a special way to negotiate with Mexicans.

Arum was talking with reporters recently about the chances of setting up a fight between one of his guys and Mexican boxing superstar Juan Manuel Marquez.

That's when Arum uttered those words you know spell trouble ... "Ya gotta know, I don't wanna be racist ..."

Ultimately, Arum's explanation actually makes sense -- it's not like he's Donald Sterling or anything -- but there was probably a better way to make his point.

Nothing like a guys trip to Victoria's Secret ... at least for Team Spain -- because Sergio Ramos and his superstar teammates hit up the lingerie shop in D.C. today and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Ramos -- one of the best soccer players in the world -- hit up the thong section in VS while a female employee showed him a series of options ... likely a gift for his super hot GF Pilar Rubio.

But he wasn't alone ... Ramos was joined by Spanish goalkeeper Pepe Reina, midfielder Andres Iniesta and striker Pedro Rodriguez. Just about everyone was carrying a VS bag on the way out of the shop.

Team Spain is considered a front-runner to win the World Cup -- so, clearly they're doing something right.

You probably won't see Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay behind the wheel of a car anytime soon -- his license has been suspended for 1 year for refusing to submit to a blood test during his DUI arrest.

Irsay's punishment isn't a shock -- refusal to submit to a test during a DUI arrest is an automatic 1-year suspension in Indiana.

According to court docs, the suspension began on May 27th.

With paramedics treating a severely injured fan who plummeted 15-feet into the bullpen, a Milwaukee Brewers pitcher grabbed a baseball and began WARMING UP just feet from the guy ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

The fan had fallen over a railing at a restaurant that overlooked the bullpen during Tuesday night's game -- and laid motionless as medical personnel scrambled to treat him.

Justin Bieber is getting an N-word pass from Mike Tyson -- at least for now ... because "Iron Mike" is chalking up JB's racial comments as a "mistake" that he hopes the pop star can learn from.

Tyson decided to voice his opinion after watching Whoopi Goldberg discuss the video of Justin's racially charged parody of "One Less Lonely Girl" back when he was 14.

Whoopi had said Bieber's youth and Canadian-ness factored into why he thought it may have been OK to use the word at the time ... but believes that he's since learned the word is off-limits.

Tyson agreed -- tweeting, "I agree with you @whoopigoldberg. We all make mistakes and I believe @justinbieber is learning."

If you're keeping count ... Tyson, Mayweather, Goldberg and Lil Wayne have all voiced support for Justin, who has since apologized for dropping the n-bombs.

Matthew McConaughey hosted a movie night with the Washington Redskins last night ... where 6 players screened their favorite movies -- AND NO ONE PICKED A McCONAUGHEY FLICK!!!

The event was a fundraiser at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Ashburn, VA yesterday -- 6 players in 6 theaters treated fans to one of their favorite movies.

For the record, the event raised money for the NFL's "Play 60" program and Matt's "Just Keep Livin" foundation ... tickets were $200-a-pop.

As for the movie screenings ... here's how it broke down:

1) RG3 -- "John Q" with Denzel Washington ... The QB says the drama is his fave flick of all time.

2) Alfred Morris -- "Fantastic Mr. Fox" with George Clooney ... Morris told the crows, "I stumbled upon 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' and I thoroughly enjoyed it."

3) Chris Baker -- "Superbad" with Jonah Hill ... It's hilarious. Good choice.

4) Nick Sundberg -- "The Lion King" ... Nick told the crowd his fave movie is actually "Little Mermaid," but his GF convinced him to screen "Lion King" instead because she thought it would be better on the big screen.

5) Darrel Young -- "Remember the Titans" ... Another Denzel Washington classic. Score two for DW, zero for McConaughey.

6) Ryan Kerrigan -- "The Internship" ... Kerrigan told the crowd he LOVES McConaughey movies, but for some unexplained reason, went with the Vince Vaughn comedy instead. Bad move.

Not Shown: "Dazed & Confused," "A Time to Kill," "Contact," "EDtv," "The Wedding Planner," "Two for the Money," "We Are Marshall," "Failure to Launch," "Surfer, Dude," "Magic Mike" ... you get the point.

Sad.

Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan had a private dinner together in Beverly Hills last night -- eating at one of the fanciest steak joints in town ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The Mamba and His Royal Airness -- who have been friendly for a while -- dined together in a private room at Mastro's Steakhouse.

It's unclear how long the dinner lasted ... or who paid.

Don't let the success of the Clippers fool you ... Andrew Bynum knows Los Angeles is still a Lakers town ... that's why he wants to play for them next season.

Bynum -- who is currently a free agent after a disastrous season in Cleveland and Indiana -- was at LAX on Tuesday when our photog broached the idea of returning to Los Angeles.

You might think Bynum would want to take what's left of his talents to Lob City ... but he says he'd prefer to wear purple and gold.

Bynum's best seasons were in Los Angeles ... in fact, he's barely played in the two seasons since he was traded for Dwight Howard.

Despite having no head coaching experience whatsoever, Derek Fisher has Ice Cube's blessing to be the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers ... but only if his 1st choice falls through.

Our photog spotted Cube in New York City on Tuesday (yes, he leaves L.A. sometimes) where he said he's cool with Fisher pulling a Jason Kidd ... retiring and then immediately coaching.

Michael Jordan -- made $90 MILLION in 2013.

Mark Wahlberg -- made $52 MILLION in 2013.

So, when they went out to lunch together at E baldi restaurant in Beverly Hills Wednesday afternoon ... which superstar picked up the check??

We spoke to both Michael and Mark on the way out -- and one of 'em spilled the beans.

BTW -- Wahlberg is a bigtime sneakerhead ... and has been rockin' rare Jordans for years ... in fact, he was sportin' Jordans to lunch with His Airness and made sure to point it out to our photog.
