What helps Kevin Durant dominate on the court, makes him suck at stand up paddleboarding.

KD totally looked like a fish (a really big one) out of water as he attempted to get up on a board in Maui. Looks like he quickly discovered 7 feet -- or just under that -- is a whole lot of body to balance, but it is Labor Day weekend after all.

Kev eventually opted for the not-as-cool, yet way more stable move of paddling from his knees.

Can't knock the hustle, but maybe he should take a page out of his teammate Steph Curry's Hawaiian playbook when it comes to beach activities.

Conor McGregor looks every bit like a guy who has 100 million reasons to smile and laugh -- even with a big ole shiner -- and did just that for a friend's wedding in Ibiza.

The UFC champ looked like the life of the party during the Sunday wedding and reception. Conor and his gf, Dee Devlin, jetted over to the event ... one week removed from his awesomely entertaining fight with Floyd Mayweather.

As we showed you ... Conor's been partying as if HE'd won the fight, and he kept that going with his pals. Yeah, he's still sporting a black eye, but he's clearly not the least bit down about it.

$100 million does a lot for your mood.

Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin are playing it cool in the midst of an L.A. heatwave ... and also with what sure as hell looks like their new relationship.

For the third time in a week, Kendall and the hoops superstar hung out together -- this time they were beating the heat on the beach in Malibu. She was laughing and looked smitten, but still no PDA ... on camera, anyway.

Just like their other dates ... Blake and Kendall were with a group of friends. Neither's confirming they're a couple, but the "just hanging with our pals" cover only works for so long.

Something's cooking ... besides Blake's balls. Jeans on the beach in 90 degree temps, playa??!!

Finding weed in Amsterdam is hard (?!) -- so says JaVale McGee, who just got back from what most consider the weed capital of the world.

Not that he was on the hunt for any himself -- we think.

We got JaVale touching down at LAX ... and had to ask the Warriors big man if he got down with any extracurriculars while he was Euro-trippin'.

"No ... try not to," McGee told TMZ Sports. "It's not as accessible as you would think -- you have to go search for stuff."

Chris Brown would have to disagree.

How does James Worthy feel about Kevin Durant saying he'd take his spot on the Showtime Lakers?

In a word: "LUDICROUS."

We got Big Game James at LAX ... and asked him what he thought of KD's recent comments on "The Bill Simmons Podcast" -- where Durant said he'd take Worthy's starting spot next to Magic Johnson and co. if he could play for any historical team.

"I think that’s ludicrous," the Hall of Famer told TMZ Sports. "I don’t know how he came to that conclusion, but I disagree."

Worthy says he doesn't get why KD would single him out ... but we're guessing their beef from earlier this year's got something to do with it.

FYI, Durant ultimately decided he'd keep Worthy and bench Kurt Rambis for his Showtime dream team.

Undefeated UFC star Justin Gaethje is saying sayonara to MMA after another dozen fights, tops ... telling TMZ Sports the sport's "too brutal" to gun for 50-0 like Floyd Mayweather.

"I'll get to 30-0 and I'm outta here," Justin told us ... before saying there's NO WAY a UFC fighter could hit 50 like Floyd.

Gaethje would know -- dude's got the second longest undefeated streak in the biz at 18-0 ... and is looking to make it 19 when he fights rival "TUF 26" coach Eddie Alvarez.

Justin says he'll wreck Eddie to stamp his ticket to a Conor McGregor fight ... and told us Conor's legitimately "terrified" of that matchup.

With Nate Diaz demanding CRAZY cash ... Gaethje might just get it.

Charlie Sheen finally got what he wanted in a "Major League" reunion -- well, sorta -- but with a baseball movie curve ball.

Sheen got together Sunday -- seemingly for the first time in a long time -- with his fellow 'Major League' costars Corbin Bernsen and Tom Berenger for a little baseball softball action at the real-life "Field of Dreams" from the movie of the same name.

Sources close to the event tell TMZ Sports the 3 actors were participating in a celebrity softball game this weekend in Dubuque County, Iowa -- where the field was built -- put on by MAB Celebrity Services. Prince Marketing Group booked Sheen and co.

Some other MLB legends that were there included Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs, Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson, Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith and White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas. U.S. soccer star Hope Solo was there too.

You'll recall ... Charlie told us earlier this year he was positive the 'Major League' cast would get together for a 3rd movie in the franchise. This ain't that just yet, but still ... a good start.

Looks like dreams really do come true, especially when it's your born day. Happy birthday, Charlie!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel took a break from some awesome tennis Saturday to suck face.

J.T. and Jessica hit up the U.S. Open at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY but Federer vs. Lopez was no match for them.

They got married in 2012, so good to know these things sometimes last.

Wanda Sykes got down in a big way at the U.S. Open.

Wanda was watching the matches Saturday, but during a break when the music filled the Arthur Ashe Stadium she busted her moves.

MMA fighter Sergio DaSilva spent some of his hard-earned cash Saturday after his arrest for allegedly robbing a bank.

DaSilva was out shopping in NYC ... this after bailing out of jail. He's accused of busting into a Citibank in Queens in a ski mask on August 24 and making off with around $50,000.

Cops say the Bellator fighter claimed to have a gun and threatened to shoot people. Cops say the fingered him by his fingerprints at the scene. He lives just around the corner from the bank.

Chuck Liddell's got a message for all the big-name boxers trying to transition to MMA ...

DON'T DO IT -- unless you wanna embarrass yourself.

"Guys coming from boxing -- stay there," Chuck told TMZ Sports ... when we spoke to the UFC legend about Andre Berto trying to take his talents inside the Octagon.

The Iceman ain't throwin' shade at Berto ... he's just keepin' it real on guys pulling a reverse Conor McGregor ... cause it's A LOT harder to go from boxing to MMA.

If Conor fought Floyd Mayweather in a non-boxing match, for example ...

"Floyd wouldn't have made it out of 1 round -- not kickboxing, not MMA, not a street fight -- not 1 round," Liddell said.

Chuck did have an important piece of advice for boxers trying to make the switch ... but he still thinks it's a bad idea.

Sorry, Andre.

Gilbert Arenas could be destined to live out his days never knowing true love again ... so says his ex, Laura Govan, who told TMZ Sports that she's done with Gil ... he only has fake love left.

Ouch.

We got Laura -- whose issues with Gil have been pretty legendary (we're talking public disses, destruction of property, the whole nine) -- out at LAX and asked her if there's any chance of a reconciliation.

Short answer? HELL DAMN NO. But that wasn't the end of the bad (?) news for Arenas, because Laura then went on to give us a laundry list of reasons why Gilbert's days of true love might be done for good.

Dana White says Conor McGregor's headin' back to the UFC ... but Carl Frampton thinks he should REALLY reconsider ... 'cause the boxing superstar says Conor would whoop Paulie Malignaggi in a fight.

We spoke with the Jackal -- who was so impressed with Conor's ability to go 10 rounds with Floyd Mayweather, he wants to see the Notorious take on his ex-sparring partner.

Matt Stafford's got a lot of haters after signing the biggest NFL contract EVER ... but one of Detroit's hottest rappers has his back!

Tee Grizzley's standin' up for his boy, Matt ... telling TMZ Sports the $135 million man is about to ball out for the Lions and prove he's worth every dollar.

Tee would know -- he says he's been chillin' with Stafford ... and the QB's coming into this season ready to take Detroit farther than the team's ever gone (so at least the 2nd round).

Don King’s good looks are hair raising!

Here’s a 58-year-old version of the boxing promoter at the Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles back in 1989 (left) and 27 years later ... the 86-year-old in Florida last year (right).

Only in America.

The question is...

Let it be known worldwide ... "Nature Boy" Ric Flair is back, baby!!! WOOOOOO!!!

The legendary wrestler just posted a video -- while wearing an incredible t-shirt -- to all his fans saying he's "back up and running."

This is the first time Ric's spoken in person since his medical emergency hospitalized him on August 11, although he did tweet last week that he'd be back.

Naitch made good on his promise just a few days later with this epic promo thanking all his fans for the love and support ... and promising to see everyone very soon.

Hell yeah.
