Screw the fake wallet reach, if you have dinner with Dwyane Wade you better be ready to pay -- 'cause when the check comes, the NBA star says it's GAMBLIN' TIME!!!

D-Wade hit the famous Santa Monica Stairs for a workout with Miami Heat teammates Mario Chalmers, Udonis Haslem and coach Erik Spoelstra ... when we brought up dinner with his BFF LeBron James.

That's when Wade gave out some FREE FINANCIAL ADVICE -- when you're out to dinner with rich people, don't split the bill ... play the credit card game!!!

Here are the rules:

1) Everyone puts their credit card into a hat
2) The server pulls one out
3) That person pays the ENTIRE bill

Good luck ...

BONUS -- since Wade's son, Zaire, has been KILLIN' IT in the youth basketball world, we asked if there was a chance we'll ever see them match up in the NBA. Check out DW's answer ... funny stuff.

12:45 PM PT -- Schilling just issued the following apology: "I understand and accept my suspension. 100% my fault. Bad choices have bad consequences and this was a bad decision in every way on my part."

11:40 AM PT -- ESPN has officially yanked Curt from his assignment covering the Little League World Series in the wake of his Twitter post.

The network issued a statement saying, "Curt’s tweet was completely unacceptable, and in no way represents our company’s perspective."

"We made that point very strongly to Curt and have removed him from his current Little League assignment pending further consideration."

Curt Schilling believes radical Muslims are as serious of a threat to the world as the Nazis -- and says the numbers prove it.

The NBA has slapped the L.A. Clippers with a $250,000 fine for underhandedly trying to recruit DeAndre Jordan back to the team ... but the league claims the shady activity went down BEFORE the famous house lockdown.

According to the NBA, the Clippers violated league rules during a presentation to Jordan on July 2nd -- in which the team tried to entice DJ into resigning by dangling a potential 3rd party endorsement guarantee in addition to his NBA contract.

It's unclear exactly which company the endorsement would have been with -- but the fact it was included in the presentation at all is a big no-no under league rules.

In the end, the NBA ruled that the move had NO BEARING on Jordan's ultimate decision to resign with the Clips ... which probably had more to do with Blake Griffin, Doc Rivers and others racing to his Houston home, locking the doors, and giving him the hard sell.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley won the first round against Don King -- a judge refused to let King shut down Mosley's comeback, but in the process also crapped all over the fight.

The ruling came down in federal court in Miami where King failed to get the injunction he sought ... believing Mosley's opponent, Ricardo Mayorga, is still under contract with him. The judge said allowing the fight would not damage Mayorga's career in the future ... because his career is almost over.

The judge said of the 41-year-old boxer ... "The undisputed evidence is that Mayorga is not ranked, that he is not at the peak of his physical capabilities and that whether he will participate in any future bouts is purely speculative."

King can still try to prove he has a valid contract with Mayorga, but it won't affect Saturday night's fight at the L.A. Forum ... and, by the way, sounds like there are plenty of seats available.

Caitlyn Jenner eschewed the reality cameras and any sort of glitz or glamour to practice her swing Monday ... at a plain old public golf course.

Jenner showed up at the Westlake Golf Course around noon and stayed for an hour. We're told she mostly kept to herself and worked on her short game and practiced off the tee at the driving range.

We're told Caitlyn -- who was dressed very casually -- was pulling clubs from a golf bag with "Bruce Jenner" emblazoned on it.

Caitlyn, not surprisingly, was cranking the ball farther than any of the other players ... men and women.

When Caitlyn decides to get serious again, she'll have to re-register her handicap with the USGA as a woman. Bruce played at a very high skill level and Caitlyn will probably improve her handicap because of her gender.

USC football coach Steve Sarkisian says he will get "treatment" -- after a drunken incident at a USC football event .... but he insists he's not an alcoholic.

Sarkisian just addressed the media and again apologized for his drunken behavior Saturday night -- where he cussed and trashed PAC 12 schools to a packed crowd.

Sarkisian says he mixed booze with medication that night -- which caused him to act differently. He would not name the medication he was on.

As for the treatment he will be receiving, Sarkisian was not clear -- but said, "I don't know that I need rehab."

He also says he will not drink alcohol for the rest of the football season.

Sark added, "The moral of the story is if you mix medication with alcohol, you say things or do things you regret."

And get this ... the USC players punished Sarkisian by making him do a "hard lessons" physical workout session, generally reserved for when players screw up.

Drake is getting a second bite of the apple that is Serena Williams -- but now that they're back on and popping, Serena's guard is up for one reason ... best summed up in one word: THOTs.

Sources close to Serena tell us she's been into Drizzy ever since they first hooked up in 2011, but that ended badly because he had his eyes on a few other chicks at the same time. Let's face it, Drake's game with strippers and Instagram models is legendary.

We're told Serena's willing to give him another chance because they have a "good vibe" -- which was on full display in the pics TMZ posted of their dinner in Cincinnati. Still, friends are warning her to be careful she doesn't get hurt again.

Our Drake sources say it's different this time -- he treats her with more respect than his other dates because Serena's a superstar in her own right. Translation: He doesn't have to worry about her using him for fame.

We're told she digs him showing up at her matches, and holds her family section tix for him. They're trying to take it slowly, but it's obvious from pics and videos ... they're crushing hard. Again.

Things are moving pretty quickly between Michael Vick and the Pittsburgh Steelers ... with sources close to Vick telling TMZ Sports the QB hopes both sides can reach a deal by "the end of the day."

Our Vick sources tell us ... the QB had received "multiple offers" from NFL teams, including the Steelers -- but he really liked what Pittsburgh is bringing to the table.

Vick flew out to the Steel City this morning to meet with the team.

Good luck finding your moment of zen now ...

Jon Stewart -- whose old job was safely positioned behind a desk, never once attacked by a musclebound thug -- was powerslammed by John Cena last night ... hard.

The former "Daily Show" host appeared on WWE's "Monday Night Raw" where he was confronted by Cena ... who was still pissed at Jon for hitting him with a steel chair at SummerSlam this weekend.

They argued. Cena got mad. And then picked up Stewart ... twirled him around like a rag doll ... and then punished him with his famous finishing move, the Attitude Adjustment.

Fake or definitely fake ... getting thrown to the mat like that has GOT to hurt.

UFC fighter Holly Holm tells TMZ Sports she knows better than to piss off Ronda Rousey with disrespectful trash talk before their fight ... because she's NOT AN IDIOT!!!!

Jason Taylor -- former superstar defensive end for the Miami Dolphins and "Dancing with the Stars" alum -- has just learned juice bars and banks don't blend well.

Not guilty, y'all got to feel Dalvin Cook -- a jury exonerated the Florida State University running back of allegedly punching a woman outside a Tallahassee bar.

The jury took a mere 20 minutes on Monday evening to deliberate the case ... where Cook was accused of punching the 21-year-old FSU student on June 23. Several of Cook's teammates testified that he never laid a hand on the alleged victim.

Cook and his attorney openly celebrated in court as the verdict was announced.

Cook -- who was expected to be one of top RBs in the country -- has been suspended indefinitely from the team. His attorneys wanted to move up his trial date -- originally scheduled for September -- so, the matter could be cleared up before FSU's season begins.

A few hours after the verdict, FSU lifted Cook's suspension yet.

Floyd Mayweather wasted no time flossin' in his brand new $5 million super car ... taking it out to his favorite restaurant in Vegas -- Fatburger ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The boxer had been gunning to buy the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita for months through his car guy Obi Okeke of Fusion Luxury Motors -- and when he finally took possession over the weekend, he was dyin' to take it for a spin.

We're told he parked the car outside of the Fatburger on the Vegas strip early Sunday morning ... and popped the hood to show people the ridiculously fast engine.

But after onlookers began to crowd the ride, Floyd decided he didn't want to risk driving it home -- too many obstacles -- so he called in a flatbed truck to safely return it to his mansion.

Bad news pimps ... that tricked out blue and yellow Hummer with the baby blue SUEDE interior didn't really belong to Mike Vick ... so says Mike Vick.

The 2001 Hummer H1 -- which looks like one of the "Despicable Me" minions on wheels -- hit the eBay auction block recently ... with the seller touting the fact it used to belong to the NFL star and "no expense was spared."

We called Vick to get the backstory ... and that's when his rep broke the bad news telling us, "It's not his car. He's never owned a Hummer, period."

We're told Vick doesn't want to waste his time taking legal action -- he just wants people to know the truth. He also said he would never ever buy anything that looks like this.

More Lakers props for the Lakers fan who helped subdue a terrorist on a train in France -- with the president of the team telling TMZ Sports she couldn't be more proud of the guy.

We spoke with Lakers president and co-owner Jeanie Buss who tells us ... "We could not be more proud of Anthony Sadler and his friends for stepping up and thwarting what could have been a tragedy."

She adds, "This has touched our hearts ... they showed a lot of courage."

The backlash over Steve Sarkisian's drunken comments at a USC event has begun -- with several high-powered alums and boosters calling for the school to fire the coach ... TMZ Sports has learned.
