Sports Illustrated bikini model Nina Agdal got game ... even in her PJs.

Nina threw on some butt-cheek revealing short shorts and hit the hardwood recently for one of the hottest shoot-around sessions we've ever seen.

Selflessly, she posted the footage to Instagram along with the caption, "Who needs active wear. Bball in tha pjs."

Fun Fact -- Nina is a HUGE basketball fan who actually played a little bit in her home country of Denmark. Now, she's a big Miami Heat fan.

So, the big question ... who ya got in a 1-on-1? Nina ... or Matt Stafford's super-hot sharp-shooting fiance Kelly Hall?

Yankees legend Goose Gossage tells TMZ Sports ... his legendary mustache was born out of spite -- admitting, "I actually grew it to piss [George] Steinbrenner off."

Gossage -- and his "macho tough guy mustache" -- were hangin' out at a party outside the Toyota Arcade in NYC last night ... when a QUALITY facial hair discussion broke out.

Among the highlights ...

-- He said current MLB mustaches are "a little feminine."
-- Goose calls Dennis Eckersley a "pretty boy."

But the best part ... when the Hall of Famer tells us how his legendary Fu Manchu came to be back in 1983 ... in what turned out to be anti-Yankees facial-hair policy message to the guy he once called "the fat man upstairs."

Who needs playoffs when there's QUALITY ASS to tap? Not Swaggy P ... 'cause after the Lakers final game last night, dude was FIRED UP about takin' it to the hole with his rap superstar GF Iggy Azalea.

Nick Young and Iggy were leaving 1 Oak on Sunset Boulevard when we asked how he felt about critics who believe Pau Gasol should have addressed the Staples Center crowd at the last home game ... instead of Nick.

What ensued was INCREDIBLE -- "I'm the star! I'm Swaggy P! You see what I'm going in this car with? (points to Iggy) ... What I'm gonna do with this shouldn't be legal ... ALL OF THAT ASS!!"

Swaggy was the only part of the Lakers worth watching at the end of the season -- crushing it even when the team was losing -- so, if dude wants to celebrate ... CELEBRATE!!!

You earned it.

Serena Williams showed off a little skin yesterday, frolicking in the ocean and enjoying the glorious weather of Miami.

In the battle for the best butt around ... advantage Williams.

Kevin Durant's travel agent claims she secretly booked flights and hotel arrangements for "numerous women" on behalf of the "KD entourage" for years ... and all she got in return was a lawsuit.

Remember that guy who REFUSED to share his ice cream with his GF at a Pacers game last year?? Well, they're totally gonna break up ... so says Chris Webber.

Webber -- who happened to be announcing that game for NBA TV -- was at LAX this week and told us Jake Moran and Georgia Arnett are still actually together ... despite the massive public humiliation.

"She was a nice girl," Webber said ... "She felt sorry for him."

But pity can only get you so far -- because Chris says their relationship clock only has about 2 years left before she leaves his ass for someone who's a little less stingy with the frozen desserts.

So the question is ... was the mint chip worth it??

It seemed impossible after all his drug problems, but Lamar Odom has signed a deal to play for his hometown NY Knicks -- though it's unclear if it's just for a tryout ... or actual game action next season.

So ... how'd George Brett enjoy his very first encounter with Lorde? The woman who wrote her hit song "Royals" after seeing a photo of the MLB icon in uniform?? HE LOVED IT.

TMZ Sports spoke with Brett -- who's currently out golfing in Vegas -- who tells us his long-awaited meeting with Lorde before her concert at the Cosmopolitan Tuesday night was "AWESOME!"

"Lorde is such a sweet little girl," Brett said ... "She's only 17 years old and she's very talented."

"My wife and I met her after she did her sound check. And then we got to talk to her for a little bit after the concert also. We had two cabanas. It's a beautiful place."

Brett says he reacquainted himself with Lorde's work on the trip over -- "I actually downloaded her music off iTunes and listened to it on the plane ride to Vegas. I knew all the songs when she sang them."

In the end, Brett says ... "We both said it was nice to meet each other. She told me about looking through the National Geographic and seeing the picture [of me from 1976] and cutting it out and putting it on her wall."

Either Kelcy Quarles is lying ... or a bunch of witnesses are severely mistaken -- because the NYPD says multiple people ID'd the NFL Draft prospect at Greenhouse nightclub the night of a massive brawl ... despite the fact K.C. says he wasn't there that night.

TMZ Sports spoke with Lt. Gimple who tells us ... investigators have spoken with multiple people who witnessed the attack on club promoter Michael Hauer on April 11 ... who say they spotted Kelcy at the club that night.

We broke the story ... Hauer was beaten so badly, he required multiple surgeries to repair severe facial injuries. While Hauer's lawyer claims Kelcy and his fellow University of South Carolina football teammate Victor Hampton had a role in the attack, cops say both men are only wanted for questioning at this point.

Lt. Grimpel tells TMZ Sports ... police are seeking to speak with everyone who was at Greenhouse Nightclub in NYC that night ... but they're having a tough time tracking down all of the witnesses because a significant amount of people at the club that night were from out of state.

There's more ... we're told the NYPD was not notified of the alleged attack until Tuesday morning ... several days after the incident. It's unclear why there was such a delay in reporting it to cops.

Darren Sharper's DNA was found on the clothing of one of the women accusing the former NFL star of sexual assault in Arizona ... this according to a detective who testified in court today.

Detective Kevin Mace of the Tempe PD took the stand at Sharper's bail hearing -- and said the two AZ accusers who claim they were drugged and sexually assaulted by Sharper were examined after the alleged incident back in 2013.

Det. Mace says Sharper's DNA was found on one woman's clothing ... but no trace of his DNA was found on the other woman.

In a previous police report, investigators say they found traces of a drug used to knock people out in a shot glass Sharper allegedly gave to one of the women.

Sharper was not present at today's hearing -- he's still locked up in L.A.

Ken & Ryu were a bunch of BABY BACK BITCHES compared to Sub-Zero & Scorpion ... so says UFC stud Frankie Edgar who tells TMZ Sports "Mortal Kombat" was FAR SUPERIOR to "Street Fighter 2."

"The Ultimate Fighter" star was out in NYC yesterday when we started talking video games -- and he told us the bloody head-ripping, spinal-cord exposing action from "MK" blew "Street Fighter" out of the water.

But ... it's NOT the greatest fighting game of all time. That honor goes to a NINTENDO classic that had a serious impact on Frankie's training style. Check out the clip.

BONUS: Frankie also reveals the ONE THING he's afraid of in life ... and it's pretty shocking.

The shocking video of John Daly hitting a golf ball off a tee that's firmly placed in a woman's mouth is "100% REAL" ... at least that's what the woman in the footage tells TMZ Sports.

James Worthy calls it like he sees it -- which is why he didn't pull punches when describing the Lakers disaster of a season -- "It was quite the debacle this year."

But there could be more bad news for the Lake Show, 'cause when Big Game James was leaving LAX last night he explained why he thinks the chances of Swaggy P returning to the squad are slim to none.

And if you were hoping for a Metta World Peace comeback in L.A., Worthy shot that down too -- "He's too old. I don't think so, I KNOW so."

In fact, Worthy suggested that Peace hang it up for good -- saying, "It comes to an end at some point."

We told you it was gonna happen ... and last night, right before Lorde's concert in Las Vegas ... she finally came face-to-face with George Brett -- the man who inspired "Royals."

The two had been trying to meet up for a while ... ever since the singer revealed that she wrote her most famous hit after being inspired by a 1976 photo of the MLB star in National Geographic ... but they couldn't get their schedules to work out -- until last night.

We're told Brett -- along with his wife -- met up with Lorde a few hours before she took the stage at the Cosmopolitan ... and by the looks of things, they seemed to get along great.

Lorde's evening may have gotten a little crazier after the show -- it appears she was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding at LV's famous "Little White Chapel."

The Ultimate Warrior's wife is finally opening up about the shocking death of her husband -- saying she's heartbroken by his passing ... but says the touching WWE tribute is helping her cope.

Dana A. Warrior just released an emotional letter to her husband's fans ... saying, "It is with an absolutely broken heart I reach out to you."

Dana says she tried to keep her daughters insulated from the news coverage -- but allowed them to watch the WWE tribute on Sunday night.

"As the scene unfolded with that amazing roster of talent gathered donning Ultimate Warrior shirts and even his face paint, we cheered and sobbed simultaneously," Dana wrote.

"To everyone who stood there, thank you. My girls will remember your bowed heads for the rest of their lives."

Dana also touched on the moment Warrior collapsed outside their hotel in Arizona -- saying, "I fought and screamed and cried for him not to leave me, but I wasn't to win this round. Heaven won and I lost."

"But I had the ULTIMATE love for 20 years and my children learned to be Warriors from THE ULTIMATE DAD. I wouldn't trade a moment of the life we shared, good or bad, for anything on God's green earth."
