Here's footage of cops racing after Jahlil Okafor on the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philly back in October -- and it feels like it's straight out of a video game.

According to the official citation issued by the Delaware River Port Authority PD -- the officer who caught up to Okafor's white Mercedes Maybach paced the NBA star at 108 MPH!!!

By the way, in the footage you can clearly see several Speed Limit 45 MPH signs posted on the bridge.

Okafor -- who was not taken into custody -- was issued a $439 fine for the incident, which he has already paid.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers wants his freedom ... freedom from the restrictive (and expensive) suits he wears to coach the Clippers ... saying if he had his way he'd call the shots in a nice comfy uniform.

Rivers was out in L.A. when we asked if he'd ever thought about coaching the game in a more comfortable pair of kicks ... 48 minutes on your feet in dress shoes must really suck.

Check out the clip -- Doc says he'd not only get rid of the shoes ... but the entire NBA coaching getup all together opting instead for the uniform the players wear.

Marc Anthony says he adamantly denies having anything to do with an alleged human traffic conspiracy -- in which top Cuban baseball prodigies were smuggled into the U.S.

Anthony recently got into the sports management business -- launching Magnus Sports -- which recently teamed up with Praver Shapiro Sports Management.

The issue for Anthony revolves around an agent named Bart Hernandez -- who has worked for Praver -- and was arrested and charged with player smuggling in a case surrounding MLB player Leonys Martin.

In an effort to blunt any insinuation that Anthony had ANY knowledge or played a role, he and Magnus issued a joint statement condemning the alleged illegal activity.

"Magnus Sports and Mr. Marc Anthony were surprised and concerned to learn of the charges filed against independent contractor Bart Hernandez."

"We strongly and in no uncertain terms condemn any and all forms of the behavior contained in the indictment. We trust that the legal process will result in a just verdict."

More money problems for Grandmama ... this time Larry Johnson's being sued for close to $500,000 after allegedly blowing off a bank loan from 2007 ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Bank of America claims the former NBA star -- who filed for bankruptcy last year -- is in the hole to the tune of $494,446.57 ... because he stopped making payments on his $450k loan in 2010.

Johnson's got serious money problems ... crazy for a guy who reportedly made more than $80 MILLION during his NBA career. Last year, he was accused of being a deadbeat dad to 4 different women.

Big outing for Lamar Odom this weekend ... the ex-NBA star hit up a college baseball game in L.A. -- and the kicker, we're told he was essentially all by himself.

Listen, we all love Serena Williams. We all know she's succeeded in almost everything she's done including fashion design, tennis, and modeling.

We said ALMOST.

Here's Serena dancing at what looks to be some type of hip-hop or interpretive dance class and the reality is ... she's a really great tennis player.

Looks like SW and Venus are due to hit up the class together next week so who knows ... maybe she's more of a doubles player when it comes to the art of the dance.

More details on the Joseph Randle arrest ... now cops say the ex-Dallas Cowboys running back was trying to run people over with his car before he was busted.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the 24-year-old was popped Sunday morning in Kansas on 3 counts of battery, 1 count of drug possession and 1 count of criminal damage.

Now, law enforcement in Wichita says Randle tried to hit 3 people with his car -- and then tried to chase them into a home ... before forcing his way inside.

Witnesses tell TMZ Sports ... the scene was crazy -- but miraculously, no one suffered any major injuries.

Here's Klay Thompson winning again ... hitting Warwick nightclub in L.A. hours after his Warriors beat the Clippers on Saturday -- and leaving with a car full of hot chicks.

Thompson has a way with the ladies ... whether it be in Vegas or L.A -- remember the underwater twerk fest??

(Having a championship ring and a $70 million contract tends to help).

Looks like Caron Butler has his future retirement plan all set ... 'cause his son is straight KILLIN' it on the bball court ... dropping 41 in a recent game.

Butler's kid J.C. is just a 15-year-old sophomore at Racine Prairie HS in Wisconsin but already has interest from D-1 schools like Wisconsin, Marquette Memphis and North Dakota State.

Why all the hubbub? It's not just the 41 point explosion ... J.C. is averaging nearly 20 points a game and is already 6'4".

How does dad feel about the success? We talked to Caron, the answer is ... duh, super stoked.

"I'm extremely proud of him. I've been watching him from afar, but I just got back to Racine and got to watch him play. He's playing great basketball going into State. I see myself in him a lot. He's much better than I was at that age."

As far as the NBA? Butler says it's not a sure thing ... but he's willing to do whatever he can to make sure J.C. has the shot.

"He really feels like he has a shot playing at a higher level. I'm going to give him every outlet and resource possible."

Ex-Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle has been arrested again -- this time, he was busted in Kansas for battery ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 24-year-old -- who was cut by the Cowboys back in November -- has been booked on 3 counts of aggravated battery, 1 count of drug possession and 1 count of criminal damage.

He's being held on $100,000 bail.

According to officials, Randle was taken into custody around 8 AM Sunday morning.

It's the 3rd time Randle has been arrested since he was cut by Dallas ... and during his last arrest, predicted that his NFL career was over.

Also, Randle was famously popped for stealing underwear and cologne from a department store back in 2014.

Story developing ...

Ronda Rousey just got one step closer to marrying her boyfriend ... 'cause Travis Browne's previous marriage is finally officially over ...TMZ Sports has learned.

The Clippers lost Saturday to a star-studded crowd.

It was like the Lakers in their heyday. Jamie Foxx, Kendrick Lamar, Floyd Mayweather and DJ Khaled showed up with high hopes.

Beyonce and Jay Z were also front and center, although they apparently back-doored it and slipped in without anyone noticing.

The Clippers lost to the Warriors 112-115, but a good time was had by all.

Mike Tyson thinks Leonardo DiCaprio's famed Oscar drought should come to an end this year ... saying that Leo's killed it in "The Revenant" and deserves to take home a gold trophy.

Gronk gonna Gronk ... even at sea.

Check out the scene on the cruise last night -- the Gronk bros turnin' all the way up with DJ Whoo Kid and Waka Flocka ... while a bunch of chicks twerked all over the boat.

Kobe Bryant suffered a fickle finger of fate Friday night ... a dislocated finger to be exact, that was yanked back into place much to the horror of a female fan.

Bryant and The Lakers were taking on The San Antonio Spurs in L.A. Friday night when Kobe's right middle finger popped out of joint. Bryant's doc gave the finger an ol' fashioned tug and the digit went back to its proper place.

Mickey Rourke's offended by Manny Pacquiao's aggressively anti-gay comments, because he says he's "a little gay" himself.

Mickey went to The Nice Guy in WeHo Friday night, and actually gave Manny a marginal Old Testament pass, though he made it clear the boxer's comments were abhorrent.
