Just as he predicted, the neurologist Donald Sterling hand-picked to evaluate his mental health says his brain is in perfect working order to run the Clippers.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Sterling recently told the court he was 100% confident Dr. Jeffrey Cummings -- who runs the Cleveland Clinic -- would find that his mind is NOT the confused, discombobulated mess two other doctors said it was after testing back in May.

Now, sources tell CNN ... Dr. Cummings performed a comprehensive medical exam on Sterling in Las Vegas over the weekend and the results were just as pro-Sterling as Sterling had hoped.

According to the report, Cummings found that Sterling has no signs of dementia and no lack of mental capacity -- but did show signs of MCI, mild cognitive impairment, which is common in people Sterling's age.

The findings are SIGNIFICANTLY different than what is described in the report of the neurologists who say they examined Sterling in May. One doc says Sterling's mind is so off, he couldn't properly number a blank clock.

There's no better way to stick it to Belgium ... than with SYRUP ... so says Waffle House -- which is calling for a full-on boycott of Belgian Waffles in support of Team USA soccer ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Of course, USA is all set to face off with Belgium in the 2nd round of the World Cup tournament on Tuesday in a win-or-go home match ... and Americans are hungry to show their support.

But according to Waffle House -- they should start by staying away from the signature Belgian breakfast item ... with a rep for the All-American restaurant chain telling us, "We support a boycott on Belgian Waffles."

The rep adds, "We support America. We don't support Belgian Waffles."

Instead, WH says Americans should stick to American-style waffles (like the ones served at Waffle House) ... because it's the patriotic thing to do!

One's from Philly ... the other's from New York City ... but Will Smith and Marc Anthony instantly became Colombia superfans following the team's big win over Uruguay this weekend.

The two superstars were hanging out at a hotel in Colombia -- watching the locals celebrate the World Cup victory -- when someone tossed Will a Team Colombia jersey ... and he went loco.

According to local reports, Anthony is currently touring around the county and he's bringing Smith along as his special guest.

For the record ... the way James Rodriguez is playing in this tournament -- yeah, we're fans too.

The Lakers got Jack. The Knicks got Spike. So who do the Hawks have?? Just one of the BIGGEST rap stars on the planet ... according to ATL player Louis Williams.

Williams -- who's been with the Hawks since 2012 -- was arriving at LAX this weekend for an off-season workout when we asked about his team's celebrity following back home in Georgia.

With so many big stars from Atlanta -- T.I., Usher, Andre 3000, Jeff Foxworthy -- we had to ask, who was the #1 celebrity Hawks supporter.

The World Cup is full of AMATEURS!!!!! At least when it comes to flopping ... because none of the fake-injury-having, soccer cry-babies could hold a candle to the greatest of all time ... Vlade Divac!

Vlade's former Sacramento Kings teammate Doug Christie was out in L.A. the other day -- when we asked how he thought the King of the Crumble would fair with all the fakers in Brazil.

You gotta hear the kind of high praise Christie bestows upon Vlade -- it's clear, if there was a Mount Rushmore of Floppers ... it would only consist of Vlade, Vlade, Vlade and Vlade.

If basketball didn't work out, Blake Griffin coulda been a gymnast ... because the guy hit a PERFECT backflip during a beach session in Croatia -- and the whole thing was caught on video.

Blake's on vacation in Croatia with Clippers teammate DeAndre Jordan -- and both decided to test their acrobatics.

Blake went first -- killed it.

DeAndre went second ... NOT BAD EITHER ... but he's clearly the Aly Raisman to Blake's Gabby Douglas.

He came. He saw. He DJ'd ... and from what we're hearing, Shaq KILLED IT during his 1st night as a club DJ in Vegas last night.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Shaq -- who went by DJ Diesel -- took over the turntables Friday night at Chateau nightclub at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Vegas.

Shaq had been practicing for months (it's been a secret hobby for years) -- and it looks like the hard work paid off ... with the crowd rockin' and rollin' with every track he put on.

We're told ... Shaq rolled into the club around 1am and spun for roughly 30 minutes.

As one source put it ... "He started off a little slow. He was playing hip-hop. He got into a groove and actually ended the set really strong. He was mixing in some rock and roll, and that got the crowd going!"

The source added, "He was better then I expected him to be."

We're told the club was so happy, they gave O'Neal a custom bottle of Shaq Moet champagne as a thank-you gift.

Guess this means we haven't seen the last of DJ Diesel??? Stay tuned ...

Before he became a 1st Round NBA Draft pick ... Rodney Hood got himself ice'd out with $80k in high-end jewelry ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We know ... the day before the draft, the 21-year-old phenom hit up Rafaello & Co. in NYC -- and picked himself up a $50k diamond-coated stainless steel Breitling Bentley watch.

He also dropped another $30k on an 18-carat gold and diamond bracelet with princess cut and round diamonds. Not too shabby.

But Hood wasn't the only baller to go on a pre-draft jewelry spree ...Cleanthony Early also hit up Rafaello and got a $62k Rafaello & Co. yellow gold watch and a Cuban link diamond bracelet.

It's good to be rich.

The tears have been flowing during the 2014 World Cup ... some for joy ... some for sorrow ... some for getting BIT ON THE FRICKIN SHOULDER ... but it all makes for some very dramatic photos.

So, click away and see if you can figure out if these guys are showing real emotion -- or just trying to pull one over on the refs ... again.

Bawlers!

Former "Big Brother" star Jessie Godderz -- now one of the biggest wrestlers in TNA -- busted out 41 meatheaded pull-ups on an NYC traffic light IN A ROW ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Mr. Pec-tacular was just looking for a reason to take his shirt off ... when he suddenly came up with the challenge for himself.

We also asked him about Prince Fielder posing for ESPN's Body Issue -- but who cares, watching this guy do 41 pull-ups ... and then troll the cross-fit people ... is pretty entertaining.

What do Andrew Wiggins and Cruella de Vil have in common? They both wanted dalmatian-patterned jackets ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Don't worry ... no puppies were harmed in the making of Andrew's NBA Draft outfit -- but his stylist tells us Wiggins' original plan was to rock a dalmatian-print jacket to the big show.

"Andrew has a style of his own, but we wanted to step it up," Wiggins' personal stylist Brandon Williams tells us ... "We wanted to set him completely apart. Make Andrew look different than any other player."

Williams says the most important part of the outfit was the jacket -- but things didn't exactly go as planned.

"The original print was a Dalmatian print ... but the fabric was sold out. So we were really sweating it. I ended up going to an upholstery fabric store ... fabric for furniture, couches ... I saw the floral print. I thought it might be too much, but Andrew liked it. He's a young guy. He has swagger."

Williams says his team, which included celeb designer Waraire Boswell, raced to put the ensemble together -- and couldn't have been happier with the final result.

"The suit gave him confidence. He looked like the #1 pick, and he felt like the #1 pick."

SHOTS FIRED AT CHAD OCHOCINCO ... and the woman pulling the trigger is his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada!!!

The "Basketball Wives" star -- who happens to be engaged to L.A. Dodgers superstar Carl Crawford -- was hangin' at GNC at the Beverly Center ... when we asked to see the massive 14.5 carat diamond ring he gave her back in December.

That's when Evelyn flashed the ring ... and a little bit of sass ... taking aim at the puny 10 carat rock Chad gave her back in 2010.

Check out the clip ... enjoy the burn.

It's the suit you can only wear once ... and Andrew Wiggins know it -- because we're told the #1 pick in the NBA Draft could be donating the famous threads he wore last night for charity.

The suit was all the rage at the Draft at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn on Thursday -- with ESPN correspondent Jay Williams so impressed, he stole a line from "Coming to America" when talking to Wiggins ... "What is that, velvet?"

Now, after hearing rumblings that Wiggins could be auctioning off the outfit to the highest bidder to benefit a charity -- a rep for the Cleveland Cavs player tells TMZ Sports, "It could happen."

For the first time since he publicly accused her of secretly aborting their unborn twin babies, Floyd Mayweather came face-to-face with his ex-gf Shantel Jackson last night ... and TMZ Sports captured the entire awkward encounter on video.
