New Mexico State's Emma Christiano scored a clean layup in the final seconds of a one-point game on Friday ... too bad it went in the WRONG basket!

The good news? The Aggies still found a way to win.

NMSU trailed Southern Utah 61-60 in Las Cruces when freshman forward Stacey Chavino tipped away a Thunderbirds inbounds pass with 20 seconds left.

Christiano, a senior guard, chased down the loose ball and took it in for an easy layup ... on her own team's hoop. Instead of taking the lead, the Aggies suddenly trailed 63-60.

Brooke Hogan is ready to tell all ... and she's got a bunch of publishers lined up to make it happen ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Brooke's agent has been fielding offers for a memoir, and four major publishing companies have reached out with interest.

Brooke's rep Susan Haber tells TMZ ... Hulk Hogan's daughter has received "multiple offers from major New York publishers" for the tell-all.

10-9 round for Mike Tyson and Ric Flair ... the sports icons scored a win in their legal battle with a cannabis company, TMZ Sports has learned.

A federal judge in Illinois refused to toss out the explosive RICO lawsuit filed by Tyson and Flair, among others, in December, in which they accused five people tied to Carma/Tyson 2.0 of screwing the two stars out of huge amounts of money.

Tyson and Flair claim two of the defendants, executives at Carma, treated the company like their own personal piggy bank, siphoning off more than $1 million, and using the cash for everything from private jet travel to yacht and home renovations.

Others were accused of receiving kickbacks on deals they negotiated, unbeknownst to Mike and Ric.

Defendants Chad Bronstein, Adam Wilks, Nicole Cosby, James Case, and Christopher Volo, who have strongly maintained their innocence, filed a joint motion asking that the case be dismissed for various reasons.

Ultimately, the judge wasn't buying their argument, ruling that the RICO lawsuit will proceed.

As you'd expect, Tyson 2.0 was happy with the judge's decision, with a rep for the company saying, "this ruling represents a significant development in our clients' pursuit of justice. Mike Tyson and his fellow plaintiffs have brought this case because they were victims of serious financial misconduct and a calculated betrayal of the obligations owed to them and their businesses."

"The defendants sought to have these claims dismissed before the case could proceed on its merits. The Court's decision allows the litigation to move forward, and we welcome that opportunity. Our clients are prepared to pursue the evidence, hold those responsible accountable, and seek the full measure of relief available under the law."

Tyson and Flair are seeking tens of millions of dollars for funds they say were taken, and for money they missed out on as a result of the deals they weren't looped in on.

Fitness influencer Noelle Leyva is accusing fellow influencer Bradley Martyn of getting physical with her at a Halloween party ... and we've learned cops are now investigating ... while he adamantly denies her claims.

Now, Noelle is seeking court-ordered protection from her former business associate ... claiming he violently shoved her to the ground and left her injured.

In her newly filed petition for a restraining order, obtained by TMZ, Noelle claims Bradley hit her across the chest and pushed her to the ground.

She says she's now "scared, anxious, and fearful" for her life.

Wayne Gretzky has emerged victorious after The Great One was sued by the owner of "OMG gum" for allegedly lying about his weight loss ... TMZ has learned.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Steven Sparks was ordered to pay Wayne's family trusts and a corporate entity a total of $200,000 in damages for breach of fiduciary duty.

On top of that ... because the judge found Sparks repeatedly failed to meet discovery deadlines, he was also ordered by the court to pay $39,525 in cumulative monetary sanctions.

Antonio Brown won't be spending any (more) time behind bars ... the ex-NFL star pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a lesser charge, in his attempted murder case, and walked away with probation.

A year and a half after the chaotic incident went down, some of it captured on camera, the super serious charge is finally behind AB.

The 38-year-old former All-Pro pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a firearm and was sentenced to three years' probation by Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez.

WNBA teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have shockingly revealed they split more than a year ago in probably the most giggly breakup announcement of all time.

Appearing on the "Fudd Around and Find Out" podcast ... the couple announced the split happened before Azzi was even drafted to the Dallas Wings.

Paige said ... "She was not drafted because she was my girlfriend. She was drafted because she deserved it. She's an amazing human, amazing basketball player. And we're still friends, we're still cool."

The New York Knicks are picking a side in the Taylor Swift "fake fan" drama ... and they ain't backin' the two guys in their own locker room!

Hours after point guard Tyler Kolek called Tay "a little performative," the team reached out to TMZ Sports with a statement making it crystal clear where they stand.

"Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization."

South Beach is going full Vice City ... unveiling GTA VI-inspired jerseys, in a partnership that brings together Travis Scott, Nike, and Rockstar Games.

The Heat will rock the new "A Night in Vice City" threads for one night only, Nov. 18, against the Milwaukee Bucks ... the night before the most hyped video game of all time finally drops.

So, what do they look like?

The Swingman version is blacked out with GTA's Vice City pink and white. The Heat logo on the chest is swapped for "Vice City," with a "VI" patch on the upper left side.

And yes, La Flame's signature logo is on there, too -- the Nike swoosh is flipped!

The hem has Cactus Jack branding, six pink stars and a tag co-branded by Rockstar, the Heat and Cactus Jack. The black shorts with pink and white accents match Travis' upcoming GTA VI Nike Air Force 1 Low collection.

The on-court version the players wear is a little more lowkey, since NBA rules don't allow overt GTA references. The Robinhood advertisement patch replaces the "VI", and the game's map is built into the Heat logo on the chest.

The vibe will feel familiar to Heat fans, since the team has worn its "Vice" alternates in the past ... but the Cactus Jack touches and direct game references set these new drops apart.

Want one? Both versions go on sale Nov. 18 in limited quantities, the day before GTA VI launches.

The attorney representing a Lamborghini rental company that claims Rashee Rice never paid them after his 2024 crash is speaking out after the NFL star filed for bankruptcy ... and he thinks Rice is "incapable" of being accountable for his actions.

Kyle Coker -- who represents The Classic Lifestyle -- tells TMZ ... "I think the only reason Rashee Rice filed for bankruptcy was to avoid the impending jury trial related to injuring others during his drag-racing escapades."

Rice caused a six-car pileup after drag-racing his leased Lamborghini in Dallas in March 2024 ... before pleading guilty to felony racing on a highway and felony collision causing serious bodily injury.

Jalen Brunson traded his Knicks Jersey for a detective's badge on Thursday night's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" ... and the NBA champ handed his real-life pal Mariska Hargitay the clue that blew the whole case open.

Turns out the king of New York is also its best defender ... of justice.

JB played Detective Jay Madison in the episode titled "Forsaken." His scene hits about 20 minutes in and runs roughly a minute ... with Brunson posted up at a pizzeria counter, slice in hand, when Hargitay's Captain Olivia Benson walks in with questions.

10:01 AM PT -- The New York Knicks are making it crystal clear that while Kolek and McBride may have their personal feelings on Taylor's fandom, it's not the position of the organization.

"Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization," a NYK spokesperson told TMZ Sports.

Taylor Swift is used to people fawning over her ... but New York Knicks star Tyler Kolek is bucking the trend, calling out the pop princess for possibly being the team's fakest celebrity fan.

Kolek made the bold statement during Thursday's NBA 2K TikTok livestream, where the Knicks point guard was interviewed along with teammate Deuce McBride — and, at one point, the reporter asked, “Who is the fakest celebrity Knicks fan?”

Kolek responded that some people are "performative" and just want to be seen at the Knicks games and aren't necessarily fans. Then Kolek surprisingly took aim at Taylor, saying she might be the biggest fake of them all.

Rashee Rice has another major headache off the football field ... the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver has filed for bankruptcy, claiming he's more than $3.45 million in debt.

According to court records cited by ESPN, Rice filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Wednesday in Texas ... claiming he has just $677,000 in assets against his mountain of debt.

A massive chunk of that debt comes from Rashee's legal troubles ... with more than $2.1 million tied to civil lawsuits involving his 2024 Dallas car crash.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Jerry Rice just went catch for catch in a brand new commercial -- and the stakes were no joke -- peanut butter and jelly was on the line!

Yes, for real ... and the catches get more ridiculous every round.

The Jams spot, called "The Showdown," kicks off with Jerry eyeing OBJ's box and asking, what's in it?

"Jams. Peanut butter jelly," Odell tells him.

Rice wants it ... so he offers to play Beckham Jr. for it. The rules are simple: first one to drop a pass has to watch the winner eat.

It starts off tame enough, with one-handed grabs off the jugs machine. Then it's one hand, on one knee. Then they're chucking the ball down the field and running under their own passes.

From there, it goes off the rails.

The two come up with more and more impossible catches. Jerry calls off the light, off the scoreboard, one-handed. OBJ fires back by proposing a catch through the stadium booth's window, off the goal post and through the legs ... then over the bleachers, off the wall, and behind the back.

Nobody drops a single pass.

Jerry eventually goes all in ... off the expressway, over the river, off the scoreboard, through the window, one-handed.

OBJ finally taps out.

"I mean, what are we doing here," he asks ... as the screen cuts to black.

No winner declared.

If the spot feels familiar, it's a nod to the iconic 1993 McDonald's commercial starring Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, where the NBA superstars traded trick shots in a game of H-O-R-S-E for MJ's Big Mac and fries. This time, it's football ... and a PB&J.

Travis Kelce needs an Advent calendar, 'cause he's counting down the days to his first Christmas as a married man ... and describing what his perfect day looks like!

Spoiler alert: it includes Mom Donna Kelce in the kitchen, baking up her blueberry muffins.

The 37-year-old Chiefs tight end laid it all out in a Tommy Hilfiger ad for their winter campaign, "The Perfect Holiday," which dropped Thursday.

And this year's a big one for the future Hall of Famer ... 'cause Kelce says he's "excited for my first holiday as a married man!"
