The L.A. Clippers are rallying behind Blake Griffin ... with one baller telling TMZ Sports the entire team's got Blake's back if anyone tries to pull a Jermaine O'Neal and get in his face again.

In case you missed it ... O'Neal confronted Griffin in the hallway after the Clips smashed the Warriors 111-98 ... with Jermaine clearly looking for a Part 2 of the altercation they had on the court earlier that game.

We spoke with one of the Clippers who tells us, "People always hate on the best ... what do you except when you’re the best?"

"There's NO FEAR and Blake isn't worried about the haters. We have Blake’s back ... but he ain't worried."

Cash Money Sports is officially in business -- TMZ Sports has learned the agency has just signed its first high profile athlete ... Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans.

Evans -- considered one of the best players in the upcoming NFL Draft -- had initially hired another agency to rep him ... but we're told Evans has now signed on the dotted line with Cash Money.

FYI -- Cash Money is run by Bryan "Birdman" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams -- the brothers who built the Cash Money record empire ... the home of Drake, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Paris Hilton.

What's interesting ... Evans is tight with Johnny Manziel ... who happens to be BFFs with Cash Money rapper Drake.

So, the question ... will Johnny follow his wide receiver to Cash Money Sports?

The arrival of Cash Money Sports could set up a battle royale between CMS and Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency.

Rob Gronkowski might not be the only athlete with a role in the "Entourage" movie ... 'cause Russell Wilson was spotted on set today and all clues point to cameo.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback posed for photos with members of the cast -- including Jeremy Piven and Kid Cudi, who's reportedly playing Ari Gold's new assistant.

Piers Morgan was also spotted on set -- no word if he's in the flick or just hangin' out. We already told you Gronk's confirmed to be in the flick.

As for Wilson -- it pays to win the Super Bowl ... first Letterman, then kickin' it with Jay Z, now a possible movie role?!

ARCA could go ORCA at the Talladega Superspeedway ... because one of the drivers is trying to raise $115k to get behind the wheel of a "Blackfish" car at a race in May ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke to Leilani Munter -- one of the Top 10 female drivers in the world -- who tells us she was so moved by the documentary, she wants to do everything in her power to spread awareness about the plight of killer whales in captivity.

"I believe that it is a crime for these magnificent, intelligent, and socially complex creatures to be forced to live in tiny concrete tanks," Leilani says.

And her first order of business is wrapping a car in a custom "Blackfish" design to race at an ARCA event at Talladega Superspeedway on May 3rd. The only catch -- it's expensive.

Leilani tells TMZ Sports she needs to raise $115k for the cost of the car so she can enter the race ... which she's doing in part with the Oceanic Preservation Society, the people behind the documentary, "The Cove."

Here's professional UFC face-puncher Robbie Lawler spoofing Justin Bieber's deposition ... and really trying to capture JB's natural brattiness and stupidity.

Lawler -- who's fighting Johnny Hendricks at UFC 171 this weekend -- nails the orneriness and angst Justin displayed in the original video, which was part of a case involving an alleged altercation with a bodyguard.

Lawler even throws a Bieber-style tantrum before storming out of frame.

So, what's Justin gonna say when he sees the spoof?

He's already been axed by the Cowboys, Eagles & Bengals .. but now Terrell Owens is gonna have a chance to be FIRED BY DONALD TRUMP ... 'cause he's gonna be on "Celebrity Apprentice," TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us ... T.O. is all set to appear on the 14th Season of Trump's mega-hit show on NBC.

And it's not just for the paycheck, now that Owens is on board, he's got a HUGE opportunity to blow up his post-NFL career ... just like Joan Rivers, Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall who all enjoyed a serious resurgence of fame after appearing on the show, which is #1 on Sunday nights.

But Owens may not be the only jock on the show ... we're told tennis superstar Martina Navratilova is in talks with producers and really wants to do it ... but isn't a lock yet.

There are two ways to look at this photo ...

1) Props to Bill Belichick for sending roses to his GF's office on their 7th anniversary

2) They've been dating for 7 YEARS (and he's super rich) and all she got was some frickin' ROSES??!?!?!

For her part, Bill's lady Linda Holliday seemed to be happy with the gift, posting the pic on Instagram with the caption, "Seven years together & he remembers even at his busiest time of the year! #luckyme #redroses #Anniversary Luv my Guy!!!"

For the record, Tom Brady and Gisele just celebrated their 7-year dating anniversary back in December ... think she woulda been cool with a bunch of roses?

Bad news for Broncos fans ... "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul has given up on your team -- just months after he hopped on the bandwagon in the first place.

Aaron -- nicest guy ever btw -- was leaving Gallagher's Steakhouse in NYC last night when we started asking him about all the moves Denver's been making in the past few days.

That's when Aaron -- who proudly rooted for Peyton & the Broncos when he sat behind the bench at the Super Bowl -- made it clear his days of supporting the blue and orange are OVER!

In fairness to Aaron, he was only really a Broncos fan for 1 day to begin with ... but after that Super Bowl performance, we're guessing he's not the only bandwagoner to jump ship.

A broken arm ... a snapped pinkie ... and evidence of extreme torture -- just a few of the injuries suffered by one of the men allegedly beaten by Floyd Mayweather's crew ... and TMZ Sports has the X-rays.

We broke the story ... two men have lawyered up, claiming Mayweather ordered them to be beaten to a pulp recently because he suspected they stole jewelry from his Vegas home.

One of the victims had X-rays taken after the alleged incident and they show a variety of painful injuries, including:

-- Broken right pinkie
-- Severe swelling of the left hand
-- Broken left ulna
-- Cracked right ulna
-- Multiple fractures in left hand that required pins to reset the bones

We're told the left arm was so badly broken, doctors drilled into the bone to attach a titanium plate so it would reset.

The men claim Mayweather was present during the attack, but it's unclear if the boxing champ actually participated in the beating.

LeBron James having phone problems is to Samsung ... what a White House security breach is to the Secret Service -- time to scramble the jets! But did LBJ make a huge blunder when his phone crapped out?

Plus, video of Ronda Rousey flashing some WWE-style moves in a ring ... has everyone wondering -- is the UFC champ making a big move? Should she?

Police photos of Oscar Pistorius, taken shortly after he shot his girlfriend last year, were shown in court on Friday ... showing the former Olympic hero standing on his blood-stained prosthetic legs and wearing shorts covered in blood.

Earlier this week, Pistorius vomited in court after a pathologist gave gruesome details about the injuries suffered by Pistorius' girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, when he shot her last Valentine's Day.

Pistorius claims he shot Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was an intruder. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer is laid up in the hospital fighting double pneumonia, but it could've been much worse -- TMZ Sports has learned his condition was touch and go 3 days ago.

Glazer was having a back procedure to treat a broken disc Tuesday morning ... but shortly after doctors put him under he got sick and started choking on his own vomit -- the fluid ended up filling BOTH lungs.

Glazer was rushed to an L.A. area hospital where his breathing was so shallow his blood oxygen level dropped into the 70s (90-100 is normal) -- which over any prolonged period can easily turn into a life or death situation.

FOX's NFL and UFC insider is still getting treatment to clear his lungs, and has improved slightly ... but it's unclear how much longer he'll be hospitalized.

A hot chick is suing Playboy and a golfer for coming up with a cockamamie stunt -- placing a golf tee in her butt and then trying to drive a ball off of it. It didn't end well.

Liz Dickson claims in her lawsuit she was at an L.A. area golf course back in March, 2012 for a Playboy tournament, when she was instructed to lie on her stomach and pose for a photo with comedian and radio host Kevin Klein.

Dickson says a golf tee was placed between her butt cheeks and a golf ball was balanced on the top of the tee. Klein then took a whack, but his swing sucked and he whacked her in the ass.

Dickson claims she suffered severe injuries, some of which are permanent. We're assuming the tee was removed.

Ever wonder what happens inside Johnny Weir's bedroom? Well, to paraphrase Captain Ahab, "Thar he blows!"

TMZ Sports spoke with the figure skating legend's hubby Victor Voronov out in L.A. last night ... when we brought up the convo we had with Johnny back in December, when he told us about the sex fantasy he'd fulfill if he ever went to space.

But it was clear Victor thinks Johnny needs to raise the bar ... because they've already done the oral thing on Earth ... and instead if they ever leave the stratosphere, they'd need to pull off something with a higher degree of difficulty.

Try to wrap your head around that.

Lil Boosie got some high-profile support during his stint behind bars ... telling TMZ Sports he got a phone call from Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston the day after FSU won the title.

Here's how it all happened ...

Famous Jameis is a HUGE Boosie fan and during his Freshman year at Florida State, he would often quote Boosie's lyrics to his team, on social media and sometimes during interviews with reporters.

In fact, Jameis said he listened to Boosie in the locker room right before he took the field on Jan. 6.

Word got back to Boosie, who was serving time in Angola State Penitentiary on drug charges, and the rapper tells us he sent a message to JW that he'd love to talk with him when he had the chance.

So ... according to Boosie, Winston phoned the rapper the day after FSU won the National Championship and the two got along like old friends.

"We chopped it up ... I told him I was a fan of his also."

Boosie says he told Jameis to "stay focused" and let him know that he'll be continuing to root for the guy ... even though he's a die-hard LSU fan.

The $4 MILLION apology ring Kobe Bryant gave to Vanessa screwed things up for cheaters everywhere ... so says Marlon Wayans who says Kobe set the price of forgiveness way too damn high.

Marlon dished out the knowledge after we asked if Robin Thicke's apparent flower offensive would help the singer win back his wife after she broke things off.

"Robin's trying to bring it back to simplicity," Marlon said ... "Kobe changed the game."

"How is any man that f**ks up ... and we all f**k up ... how am I gonna compete with that?!"

For the record, Kobe didn't just splurge on a ring ... he also gave Vanessa 3 MANSIONS!
