There is a fine line between being a daredevil and being damn near suicidal and Spencer Seabrooke just walked that line in record breaking fashion.

On August 2 Spencer broke the world record for the longest solo slackline walk when he went across a gorge almost 1000 feet in the air with no safety line attached.

Slackline walking is like tightrope walking, but the line is loose and moves around ... because walking across a steady tightrope is too easy, apparently.

Check out the crazy footage that will give you vertigo.

Ya can't say Matt Damon ain't ride or die ... Boston to the heart ... and blindly passionate for all things Patriots, but that love might finally crush him -- in fantasy football.

No shocker ... Damon's stuck with his Pats and Tom Brady through the whole Deflategate mess -- but when we got him in downtown L.A. Monday night ... we wondered if he'd waiver when it comes to drafting a fantasy QB this year.

Keep in mind, TB's most likely serving a 4-game suspension before he sees any playing time.

Check out Matt's response. Billy Joel is ringing in our heads for some reason.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn't defame his ex-GF Josie Harris when he said she was using all kinds of drugs -- because she really was popping the pills, and he says he's got proof.

When ex boxing champ Kassim Ouma gets out of Africa, he could land right in jail -- there's now a warrant out for his arrest after he went M.I.A. from court last week.

According to docs, Ouma was supposed to be in front of the judge on Aug. 5 for a progress report in his felony drug possession case. TMZ Sports broke the story ... Ouma was arrested in April 2014 after allegedly fighting with a man he claims made a pass at him. He ended up getting charged for cocaine possession, and not the fight.

But last week, when Ouma's attorney told the court the former IBF junior middleweight champ was in Uganda ... instead of the L.A. courtroom ... the judge issued a bench warrant.

James Harden is dead to Nike -- the Swoosh is backing out of the running to land a new contract with Khloe Kardashian's NBA superstar BF ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Baron Davis says he''ll stack his acting prowess up against LBJ's, any day.

Our photog caught up with Davis Sunday night at Nike's Drew League Championship in L.A. -- and he was quick to give LeBron props for his role in "Trainwreck."

Davis had his own comedic breakthrough recently in "Joe Dirt 2" -- the scene with David Spade is hysterical -- so, we had to ask who's got a brighter future in Hollywood ... him or LeBron?

As you'd expect ... BD tapped himself, but he did recommend King James for one specific role.

The kid who shot the lights out in front of Michael Jordan already has celebrity ties -- TMZ Sports has learned Ray J helped put him on the path to NBA success.

His name is Shaun Kowlessar, and at only 9 years old, he was already putting up Jordan-esque numbers while balling for an L.A. traveling AAU team -- a team partially funded by Ray J.

Ray tells us he immediately recognized Shaun's game when he saw video over the weekend of the kid nailing shot after shot at MJ's Flight School. He says Shaun is a trained assassin on the court -- he once scored 44 points in a game -- which is why he didn't freeze up in front of Jordan.

Shaun and Ray also have another tie -- Shaun's dad coached Ray when he was a little kid.

Troubled NFL star Josh Gordon's camp is shooting down widespread reports he got busted for another DUI ... and making it clear he's still working hard to get back into the league.

News of an alleged DUI arrest was all the buzz on social media Monday morning after an Atlanta news station retweeted a story about Gordon's July 2014 bust in North Carolina.

Gordon's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed to TMZ Sports there is NO new arrest ... and adds Josh settled the old case. As we previously reported, Gordon pled guilty and got off with 12 months probation ... which he's just one month shy of completing.

Rosenhaus told us Josh is keeping his nose clean and "doing all the things he has to do to get ready. We fully anticipate him being back for the 2016 season."

Former Clippers owner Donald Sterling is suing V. Stiviano and TMZ over the recording and publishing of a conversation he had with Stiviano.

Sterling filed the lawsuit Friday in L.A. ... claiming Stiviano "surreptitiously" recorded their convo sometime between September 2013 and April 2014 -- and then either she, or her agents, provided that recording to TMZ.

TMZ posted the recording on April 25, 2014

In the docs, Sterling accuses TMZ of publishing the tape in violation of his privacy rights -- and says, as a result, he's been damaged "on a scale of unparalleled and unprecedented magnitude." He also says Stiviano and/or TMZ doctored the contents of the recording.

Floyd Mayweather is known as “Money” ... but he's also "The Greatest" ... if you buy what he's saying about Muhammad Ali.

Floyd joined "SportsNation" on ESPN Deportes to rank his top 5 boxers of all time.

The undefeated champ put himself at the top of the list … however, the surprise came at the bottom ... where Floyd put Ali (at #5) ... whom most experts consider to be the greatest boxer ever.

Thanks to our friends at BSO for pointing out the ego trip.

No más Floyd, no más.

Things keep getting better for Jarret Stoll ... the NHL star just signed a 1-year, $800k contract with the N.Y. Rangers ... only months after being arrested for allegedly smuggling coke into a Vegas pool party.

As TMZ Sports previously reported ... Stoll -- a free agent -- got a sweet deal from prosecutors ... completely avoiding jail relating to his April arrest. Still, people wondered if a team would take a chance on signing him.

The Rangers did ... and there's more good news -- Erin Andrews is still hanging in there. The couple double dated this weekend at Disneyland!

First things first, Nick Young is the realest -- he dropped a three at the Drew league and made the whole gym feel it, especially his fiancée, Iggy Azalea.

Whether or not she wanted to be dragged into the game ... the P.A. announcer made the I-G-G-Y part of the celebration when Nick swished a step back 3-pointer.

Check it out ... the crowd loved it, but Iggy herself seemed less than amused.

Swaggy's team ended up losing the final to LAUNFD led by James Harden on Sunday. Doesn't make this moment any less cute though.

James Harden got dragged through the Kardashian ringer -- a full weekend of family events -- and came out the other side, so he's official ... in our book, anyway.

Khloe Kardashian and her man were swarmed by photogs on the way out of Kylie Jenner's 18th birthday party Sunday night at Bootsy Bellows. He was also at the Friday night dinner in Malibu.

Here's the thing ... Harden doesn't look the least bit annoyed -- despite the standard Kardashian pap crush -- so, we're thinking he's all in with the 'K' klan ... and maybe Adidas too.

Remember ... Harden's spending a lot of time with Kanye West at these family functions, and since Adidas already makes Yeezys -- you gotta figure Kanye's talking up the company's $200 million offer to James.

Deion Sanders makes you want to go back to school ... now!

Prime got his 3 youngest kids ready for the first day back to school with Tupac blaring in his mansion -- and an inspirational speech.

It's unclear if the enthusiasm worked on his kids ... they're noticeably absent from the vid. Still, if your dad was this pumped for school ... you might have actually passed advanced calc.

Shaquille O'Neal is sticking to his story -- Scottie Pippen's Bulls would get crushed by his championship Lakers -- but now he's admitting Scottie IS good enough for at least one thing.

Chad Johnson's daughter Cha'iel caught the eye of Olympic great Sanya Richards-Ross when she destroyed the competition at the AAU Jr Olympics.

Sanya -- who won FOUR gold medals from '04 to '12 -- tells TMZ Sports she thinks Chad's little girl is on track for a bright future in the event she used to dominate ... 400 meters.

SRR was really impressed after watching Cha'iel crush it in the 800 meters … an event she says most sprinters fear -- telling us, "There is no doubt Cha'iel can make it at the elite level, she is a prodigy."

Before you size Cha'iel for Olympic gold ... keep in mind, she's only 10. Sanya's best advice is just have fun for now -- and if she wants to reach the next level ... starting focusing full time on training by 16.

If you're counting -- like Chad is -- the 2024 Olympic games would be Cha'iel's first real shot.
