LeBron James hasn't been in L.A. two weeks and the stars are already falling out of the sky to work with him -- this time it's Common, who tells TMZ Sports he's ITCHING to do movie biz with the King.

James has been doing work in Hollywood already -- he and his business partner, Maverick Carter, just sold a new movie to Paramount Players and took a power dinner meeting with Leo DiCaprio and Al Pacino.

We got Common at LAX and asked if he's drooling to be a part of LeBron's Hollywood kingdom, and he said he'd love to run some lines with James ... again.

"LeBron is one of my favorite athletes, I actually just did a movie called 'Smallfoot.' We both did this animated film together."

The flick he's referencing is about a yeti who's convinced humans exist -- and includes voiceover work from stars like Channing Tatum, Zendaya, James Corden, and Danny DeVito.

"Of course I'll work with LeBron and Maverick! They're incredible, they do good stuff."

Who's gonna say NO to this guy?

Former NBA star Kevin Garnett is heading for divorce after 14 years of marriage ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs ... Brandi Padilla filed the divorce papers Thursday in L.A. Padilla reportedly lists irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

The couple dated for a long time before tying the knot back in July 2004. They have 2 daughters together, ages 10 and 5. Brandi's reportedly asking for physical custody with Kevin getting visitation ... and she's seeking spousal support.

Here's a glimpse into what summer camp would look like if you had a boatload of money ...

Mark Zuckerberg, Roger Goodell, Robert Kraft and a whole host of rich people converged on Sun Valley Resort in Idaho this week to have talks about what rich people should do with their riches next.

The camp -- Allen & Co.'s annual invite-only business conference -- has been credited with helping lay the bricks for huge deals like Disney's merger with ABC and Verizon's acquisition of Yahoo! in the past.

Sooo ... what can we read into seeing Kraft, Goodell, Zuckerberg and ex-Steelers coach Bill Cowher all being in attendance??

Probably not much ... the conference is said to include golf and even white-water rafting outside of the mogul elbow-rubbing.

Rookies on Carmelo Anthony's next team -- watch out ... 'cause dude has ZERO CHILL when it comes to the hazing game, so says Iman Shumpert.

We got Iman out in NYC -- where he was in full-on pitch mode for his wifey's new album and gear -- when the topic of how he was going to initiate his new Kings teammate, Marvin Bagley III, to the NBA came up.

Iman seemed timid to the idea ... and when we pressed why -- it turns out Shump was actually the victim of a heinous Melo hazing incident back in his rookie year with the Knicks.

Iman tells us Carmelo made him build out a bowl of entirely green Skittles -- and Shumpert still seems shook by it all.

"What pack do you know of all green Skittles!?" he says.

The worst part of the whole episode?

"I don't even think he ate them."

LeSean McCoy's ex-gf was frantic in her call to cops after a home invasion left her bloody and disoriented ... telling dispatch, she believed McCoy may have had something to do with the attack.

We've obtained audio from the 911 call made by Delicia Cordon after a man allegedly broke into her Georgia home, beat her with a gun and stole a bunch of jewelry. Cordon describes the attack ... and mentions her 16-year-old son is missing.

In the call, Delicia says the intruder stole jewelry off her wrist and demanded more ... she also claims McCoy may have had something to do with the attack.

3:50 PM PT -- There was a bombshell moment in court when prosecutors added 2 new rape charges stemming from an alleged incident in 2003 where Kellen -- 19 years old at the time -- was accused of forcibly raping a 17 year old unconscious girl.

"When there is a rape that occurs and the victim is under the age of 18 years old, there is no statutory time (limit) to when that can be charged. That's exactly what we have here."

Kellen Winslow's rape case is now set to go to trial -- he faces life in prison -- and today the judge finally set bail at $2 million.

Thursday's hearing was a win of sorts for the former NFL tight end who's been locked up ever since he was arrested on June 14 on suspicion of raping 2 women in the San Diego area.

Now, Winslow can post bail and leave jail. A trial date has not yet been set.

As TMZ Sports previously reported ... Winslow was initially hit with nine criminal charges after prosecutors say he picked up 2 hitchhiking transients, drove them to an isolated location and raped them.

Prosecutors also say Winslow entered a mobile home park on two occasions with the intent of raping elderly women.

He was previously charged with 2 counts of residential burglary -- but those have now been thrown out.

LeSean McCoy called police on Delicia Cordon in July 2017 after an argument over jewelry -- with the NFL star claiming she refused to return several high-end items she had borrowed.

It's all in police reports obtained by TMZ Sports ... which show cops responded to at least 3 incidents at their Georgia home over the past year.

But the most interesting incident took place on July 3, 2017 -- when the NFL star called the Milton Police Dept. to the home after a "domestic dispute" with Cordon.

When cops arrived, they saw McCoy standing in front of a large mound of D's clothes -- and he explained that they had been having issues and had broken up after she accused him of cheating on her.

Then McCoy brought up the issue of jewelry. Here's the quote from the police incident report.

"He went on to advise us that jewelers often times loan them high end jewelry items to wear for events. He stated that Cordon had some of these jewelry items and had not returned them."

"He stated that he has asked her multiple times for them but she has not yet returned them."

According to the police report, McCoy expressed serious concern that Cordon might make false accusations about him.

"He stated that he was trying to be very careful about being around her given the climate of domestic abuse in his profession."

Cops eventually spoke to Cordon. At the time, neither party made any allegations of physical abuse.

The case could be relevant since Cordon claims the assailant who broke into her home and pistol whipped her on July 10, 2018 demanded specific items of jewelry. Cordon told police she believed McCoy was behind the attack.

Spud Webb wiped the casino floor with a bunch of sports stars in a blackjack tourney Wednesday night -- but the best part ... all of his winnings are going to charity.

The ex-NBA star took on guys like Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Ron Harper and Dr. J at the grand opening of the Live! Casino and Hotel in Maryland.

Webb was the last (and shortest) man standing when all the cards fell ... winning the $5,000 grand prize, which he donated to the Boys & Girls Club.

The whole thing was pretty cool ... and Dr. J even roasted his pal, Ron Harper, with a funny golf story.

The victim in the LeSean McCoy home invasion told police she believes her ex-boyfriend "set her up" ... suggesting the NFL star sent the gun-wielding masked man into her house.

The Alpharetta Police Dept. just released more info about the incident -- including the description of the suspect ... a black man wearing a mask and dressed in all black.

According to the report, the caller (Delicia Cordon), told police ... she "thinks her ex boyfriend poss set her up."

She also notes that a window was open in her son's room, "and a sheet is tied like some went out from the 2nd floor."

Cordon advised police that her neighbor has surveillance cameras.

As we previously reported, Cordon has lawyered up and is strongly insinuating McCoy had a role in the attack.

Cordon was hospitalized with injuries to her face and arm after she claims the assailant pistol whipped her and demanded jewelry she had previously received from LeSean.

So far, no arrests have been made.

Pacman Jones has NO WORRIES in the days after his airport fight -- he's back to work in the gym and smiling ... without a single scratch on his face.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Jones was attacked by a guy who works at the Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday night. He successfully defended himself and knocked his attacker out, hard!

At the time, it seemed Jones may have taken some damage in the fight -- but during a workout session on Thursday morning, it didn't seem like he was touched at all.

Cops responded to the scene and determined Pacman did nothing wrong ... though his female companion did lose a few bags of delicious Popeyes chicken in the melee.

Meanwhile, the other dude, Frank Ragin, was arrested and hospitalized ... and was forced to take a mug shot from his hospital bed.

The greatest competitor in the history of "The Challenge" ain't playin' real football anytime soon ... 'cause the dude was straight-up ROCKED by the NFL's Maurkice and Mike Pouncey on Thursday!!

Unclear why Johnny Bananas was in Boca Raton, Florida training with NFLers Mark Ingram, Carl Lawson and the Pouncey twins ... but, the MTV show's star openly accepted the invitation for the beatdown when it all went down.

Egged on by Ingram ... Bananas tried pass rushing on the Pounceys -- who are anchors on the Steelers' and Chargers' O-lines -- and the reps didn't go well for Johnny.

J.B. was thrown to the turf a couple times ... and, at one point -- he was run from the field to the wall by Mike!!

Bananas wasn't better in pass pro either ... getting blown up when trying to block Bengals stud Lawson.

J.B.'s probably best to stick with competing against dudes his own size on his reality TV show -- new season premiered Tuesday night.

12:15 PM PT -- We're told the workout with the players was part of a show Bananas is shooting for NBC.

Here's the police body cam footage of Arizona Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim -- who told cops he only had 2 beers on July 4 ... but, refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Keim was pulled over in Chandler, Arizona after cops said he was swerving in his truck and almost hit a curb while making a turn.

During the stop, Keim told cops he only had 2 beers that evening -- along with some pizza.

The cops weren't convinced he was sober.

Keim told the officers he couldn't do any walking sobriety tests due to a messed up knee -- so, cops made him do the "follow my pen with your eye" test instead. He bombed that.

When cops asked him to take a breathalyzer, he refused ... telling the officer, "Nah. I'm not gonna do that."

Here's Floyd Mayweather trying to make peace with the city of Atlanta -- a place where, the last time he was spotted, he was SHOT AT!!

Floyd sat courtside to watch the Hawks' Summer League game in Vegas on Wednesday ... and, when their newest superstar, Trae Young, balled out -- the boxing legend invited him for a postgame chat.

Unclear what the convo was actually about ... but, Floyd didn't seem to have any problem taking pics with ATL's newest hero ...

Back when he was a junior high student, Magic Johnson knew he was destined for big things ... telling a local paper he planned to play pro basketball, start a business and travel the world.

Check, check and check!

Johnson dug up the article from his 9th grade year for a dope Throwback Thursday post ... in which he was written up for breaking a city junior high scoring record with 48 points!

But, the best part of the article is when he was asked about future plans:

"In the future, Earvin plans to keep on playing ball up through high school, college and into the proffesional [sic] ranks. He also plans to start a business and to travel."

Now, roughly 44 years later ... Johnson is giving himself a well-deserved pat on the back.

Miami Heat star Dion Waiters says his squad is a serious contender to win the NBA's Eastern Conference next season now that LeBron James is gone ... telling TMZ Sports, "We coming!"

"This year, the East is wide open," Waiters says ... "So, why not us?!"

Speaking of LeBron, Waiters played on the Cavs back before LeBron returned for his 2nd stint in Cleveland ... so we asked if he had any advice for the new LeBron-less Cleveland team.

"Man up!!! You know, it's a great opportunity for some of the young guys to go out and try to prove themselves. This is the opportunity you look forward to!"

And with young talent like Cedi Osman and Collin Sexton burning up the NBA summer league -- they should take Dion's advice to heart.

Imagine you're the server assigned to this table ... LeBron James, Al Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio -- who gets to order first?!

That was the situation at Avra Beverly Hills on Wednesday night -- where the newest L.A. Lakers star broke bread with two of the most powerful men in Hollywood.

And, get this ... it seems Leonardo DiCaprio tried to run interference for Al and Bron -- because after the meal, Leo went out the front while the other two guys went out the back!

Of course, Leo is a massive Lakers fan who's been a regular at Staples Center over the years -- maybe Pacino is a fan of "Trainwreck"?

BTW -- LeBron's business partner, Maverick Carter, was also there (in the jean jacket) ... so yeah, this dinner was more business than pleasure.

No word on who paid (or expensed) the bill.

It's Bron's second big celebrity dinner since he's come to town -- he had sushi with Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson earlier this week.
