You'd think a bunch of super tall, super athletic rich guys with beach houses would KILL IT at beach volleyball ... but you'd be wrong.

Here's Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, DeAndre Jordan and the rest of the Team USA hoops squad taking a break from the hardwood to mess around on the sand.

A bunch of Kerri Walshes they ain't.

Still, good to see the guys blowing off some steam and having fun before the medal rounds.

If Will Smith could pull it off, why not Russell Westbrook ... right?

Russ stole the show at Dorell Wright's '90s-themed charity event in L.A. this weekend -- rocking the overalls, no shirt, gold chain, pink hat and glasses look ... with an ugly yellow jacket to match.

TLC WOULD APPROVE!

A bunch of other NBA stars hit up the party too -- including James Harden (lame outfit), Nick Young (decent outfit) and Gilbert Arenas (weird zipper outfit).

The event raised more than $10,000 for the D Wright Way Foundation which helps underprivileged youth.

UFC star Cody Garbrandt hates EVERYTHING about Dominick Cruz -- especially his tribal tattoo.

Cody "No Love" has been trashing Cruz like crazy lately -- and Monday, he went in on Dom's upper back body art ... saying the champ's ink is corny and outdated.

Then comes the physical threat ... with Garbrandt promising to break Cruz's jaw after he disposes of Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 202 this weekend.

No handshake? No more Rio.

The Egyptian judo fighter who refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent has just been sent home from the Olympics -- with his own Egyptian Olympic Committee blasting the guy as a poor sport.

In fact, the EOC says it "strongly condemned" the actions of Islam El Shehaby -- who famously backpeddled from the handshake after getting his ass was handed to him by Or Sasson.

The International Olympic Committee says it was the EOC's decision to yank El Shehaby from the games ... though the IOC issued a statement of its own, condemning his actions.

"[His behavior] was contrary to the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic values."

O.J. Mayo says he's fighting his ban from the NBA after allegedly violating the league's drug policy -- and tells TMZ Sports he expects to be back on the court soon.

The league handed down the punishment back in July -- and said he'll be eligible to apply for reinstatement in 2 years. The league has not released any details about the substance that triggered the violation.

But when we got Mayo out in L.A. Monday he told us he's not taking the situation lying down -- saying he filed an appeal and the process is already "in the works."

(UPDATE: There's some debate over what Mayo says in the clip. Some people believe he says, "I already appealed it. It didn't work." Our photog says he believes he heard "it's in the works." Listen to the video and judge for yourself.)

As for the alleged violation, Mayo says he will tell his side of the story soon -- and noted that he's been focused on recovering from recent foot surgery.

TMZ Sports has obtained the 911 call made by a witness who saw ex-NFL lineman Barret Robbins on a violent rampage in Florida last week ... and it sounds terrifying.

The caller initially reports a "huge drunk man just literally walked into (a pub) punched this kid in the face" in the late hours of August 8th.

We broke the story ... the former Oakland Raiders lineman (who was listed at 6'3", 320 during his playing days) was leaving a bar in Boca Raton when the rampage began.

The caller says Robbins was yelling to himself and waving his hands around -- before attacking two innocent women outside of a nearby hotel.

"He just punched a woman. He just punched a woman outside of Best Western. Are you OK?! We called the police ... We have to do something. A bunch of people are about to jump him. I have to go, please hurry."

Cops raced to the scene and Robbins was eventually arrested for felony battery. He was transported to a jail and then a mental health facility.

Robbins has a well-known history of mental health issues -- which became public after he went MIA in the hours before Super Bowl XXXVII.

Keyshawn Johnson's wife says her marriage to the ex-NFL star is OVER -- again -- and she's reigniting the divorce from the WR ... almost 2 years after they tied the knot.

Remember, Jennifer Conrad initially filed divorce docs just 7 months after their 2014 wedding -- but the couple reconciled and everything seemed like it was gonna work out.

Fast forward to Sunday night ... when Conrad -- who has 2 kids with Keyshawn -- was seemingly bragging about the fact she was pulling the plug again.

Here's what we know ... Conrad never pulled the divorce docs when the two reconciled last year -- but there hasn't been a hearing in the case since December.

Last night, Conrad was adamant she was going back to court to jump-start the proceedings.

The two have had a rocky relationship to say the least -- besides the multiple breakups, Keyshawn was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence for smashing her phone in 2014. But the charges were later dropped.

Cheating allegations or not, Jon Jones is still the best fighter in the world ... so says UFC star Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.

Johnson was famously supposed to fight Jones at UFC 187 last year -- but Jon was pulled from the fight less than a month before the match when he was arrested for a hit-and-run in New Mexico.

Now, with a potential 2-year suspension looming, Rumble says Jones' reputation has taken another major hit -- but his skills are still world-class.

"Nobody trusts him," Johnson said ... "He's still, to me, the best fighter in the world. It's just, once again, his actions make him ... it degrades him."

Gilbert Arenas says he's so hard on Nick Young's 4-year-old son ... because he doesn't want the kid to be a "vagina" when he grows up.

Gilbert has been posting videos with 4-year-old Nick Young Jr. -- doing things like throwing his scooter across the yard to toughen him up. He also mocked the kid for crying when he got hit with a basketball.

So, when we saw Gilbert at Skateland over the weekend for Dorell Wright's '90s-themed charity event -- we asked if he thinks he's going TOO hard on the youngster.

"Hell naw! That's how you're supposed to treat boys," Arenas said ... "can't treat boys like little girls."

"I'm worse off the camera to him. He used to be a vagina, now he's good."

Eddie George has some great advice for the Rams player who got caught with a girl in his dorm during training camp -- GET A HOTEL ROOM, BRO!!

The "Hard Knocks" cameras were rolling when Jeff Fisher cut wide receiver Deon Long recently -- after the dude was caught with a female in his room ... a direct violation of the team's no estrogen training camp policy.

So, we had to ask Eddie -- who played for Coach Fisher for years -- if players ever came up with plans to get around the rules ... and that's when EG dropped some sneaky (yet, pretty obvious) knowledge.

This is the best.

This video from a MegaMart store in Kingston (it's like Costco) ... shows what happened ALL OVER JAMAICA Sunday night when Usain Bolt lined up for the 100m finals -- and it was AWESOME!!!

Everyone in the store went to the TV aisle (including employees) -- and cheered when they announced the runners.

And when Bolt won ... the place exploded!

Jon Jones clearly believes he will NOT serve a 2 year suspension for a positive PED test before UFC 200 -- saying he's got "really good news" and expects to be back in the Octagon pronto.

Jones just made a video to update his supporters -- "if there are any of you guys still out there" -- and says he has brand new information about the testing that seems to support his stance that he did NOT knowingly cheat.

Jones has been temporarily suspended by USADA (the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency) until his case goes before the Nevada Athletic Commission. He was expected to get the usual 2 year suspension.

Jones doesn't reveal why he's so optimistic -- but says, "We have found out lots of really good news and I am expecting to be back in the Octagon really soon."

Muhammad Ali's grandson -- high school football star Biaggio Ali-Walsh -- has committed to Cal ... after receiving offers from several top colleges.

B.A.W. made his announcement while visiting the Cal campus over the weekend -- saying, "I've discussed with my family and I am blessed to say I am committed to California Berkeley!! #GoBears."

Biaggio is one of the top running backs in the country -- and is about to start his senior year at Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada ... the same place where Snoop's son Cordell Broadus played.

Oh, and if the college football thing doesn't work out -- remember, he's got a modeling contract with one of the top agencies in the country.

Rumble young man, rumble.

How cool is this ... Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky recreating that famous 2006 autograph photo -- IN REVERSE!

Bad news for Tyga ... Kimbo Slice's son wants to nail his girlfriend -- and there ain't a damn thing he can do about it.

The United States Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee both flatly denied Ryan Lochte or any other swimmer were victims of an armed robbery ... without even speaking with any of the victims.

It's hard to believe ... no one in either organization had the ability to contact the swimmers hours after the robbery, even though all four are living in the Olympic village.

As we reported, The IOC flatly denied a robbery had taken place, despite the fact that Lochte's mom told a Fox Sports reporter about the incident ... calling it, "terrifying."

An official from the USOC tells TMZ Sports, they jumped to the conclusion nothing had happened because they couldn't confirm something had. Yet that official admitted the U.S. Committee told the IOC it didn't happen without ever speaking to anyone involved.

For it's part, the IOC apparently never tried contacting any of the victims or Lochte's mom.

It would no doubt be bad for the games if a story got out that robbers were posing as police officers in Rio, hunting down tourists and robbing them with guns to their head.
